Yesterday I ran the 1800kv motor again and result is FAIL! Mikes Hobby shop onroad and offroad track were used.

Runs too effin' hot man. 170F running half a pack is not exceptable. I had to ease on the brakes and throttle to get to 150F. Was like granny drivin' in loserville county. I had more fun driving a 1512 1400kv 4pole motor. Sensor board on the motor is toast as well. My son's 2 pole C50L 1800kv Hacker has more power/excelleration and runs way cooler. There was another Viper motor on the offroad track and that one also ran stupid hot.

Just like the LRP Vector 8 motors, these 1/8 Viper 3 slot 2 pole motors are no good for 1/8 vehicles. However they would be great motors in 2s and 3s Slashes with Turbo enabled on the esc's.

Hopefully improvements will be seen with new rotors.
