550 vs regular 540 = 550 better

550 vs 540 4 pole = 540 4 pole

550 4 pole vs 540 4 pole = 550 4 pole

Only downside (if you race and your track cares) with a 550 4pole is that it is not roar legal last time I checked...........


On that note, I'm just itching to get back to the track, due to working almost a month straight I haven't been in awhile and I really want to try my new setup with the help of Marcus and a few others........ Hopefully I'll be able to try out my V2 center diff again and not have any problems (my fault for wrong installation most likely) with it...........

Just yesterday...

Had a guy that was using the 4 pole try my ride with the REEDY 4.5 Sonic 550...


After ?
went right back into the hobby shop and brought one for himself ...

so is the reedy sonic the motor of choice? 4.5 or 5.5?

Was the 4pole sensored? Or wait was he a team driver? jk jk lol

I use the 4.5 , the Reedy has really good feel part throttle allowing better control .
Also runs nice & cool ...

using 12T or a 13t depending on the track ...

thats what i like to hear! nice and cool! sweet!

No

Not a team driver rather just say it was a 4pole , not into bashing some other company ....

If you could ?

borrow and try one out ...

Bet you will not want to take it out after ...

Is 4500 going to be enough battery for these trucks? Looking at the Venom line of batteries and they have the 4500 saddle. If not, then Ill just snag a bigger battery with higher discharge

EHHH I'm more then happy with my 540 4pole......

I've tried lots of different motors:

540's:

Castle 3800kv and 2400kv 4poles
Tekin SC4X 4.5 and 5.5
Trinity 4.5
Tacon 6.5
Tekin 4000kv and 4600kv 4poles

550's:
Toro's 4000kv and 4600kv 4poles


And no I did not buy/own all of those, some were friends or what local guys had at the track. In the end I stuck with my Tekin 4600kv, the 550 toro had gobs and gobs of power but very bad cogging on initial throttle. The only other motor I would replace my tekin with is a tenshock 550 4pole sensored or the one I really want is when Trinity comes out with their new Revtech 550 sensored 4poles............

i agree.. the tekin 4 pole is very smooth and doesnt cog under a lot of stress/power.. until my speed control decides not turn on anymore... i love lrp.

What esc is that?

How often do you go to OCRC? I plan on making it there and WCRC within the next week or two. What's a good day to go to OCRC to practice where its not to busy?

lrp tc spec v2.. just went out on me with no lights on??? today and tomorrow are the best days to go.. since its summer now its hard to say.. but i know wcrc is closed today so it might be kinda busy.. but their new layout looks dialed! sunday is a good day to come race.. the pro4 class is solid!

I'd look into the promatchracing saddle packs, they offer a great warranty and are cheaper then the venom's....... I own both nano-techs and promatch and they are great lipo's for the price.

I have two 5100 nanotechs saddles right now, but just got picked up a venom sponsorship. So if 4500 is going to work well, perfect. They are 50c, so thats not a concern

Only issue I see is runtime, you should be good with a 5-7+min race but going up to 10+ mins maybe an issue. Hmm any chance you'd be interested in selling those nano's now lol
