What tires and pinion do you plan on running?

I have some Proline Shockwaves and i plan to run a 16t or 17t. Thats the plan anyways but i can go down to a 15t if i have to...

Just a guess but with the higher kv motor (vs 1350) and the lighter tire (vs mashers) 16 tooth should work rather well. Keep us posted!

I run a Tekin 4038 2000kv & RX8 Gen 3 with SMC 8000mah 4S battery & 15t pinion w/ steel 44t spur. These turn Duratrax 3.8 Six Pack wheel/tires. My temps have been 142.3F max on ESC and 138.4F max on motor. I have a 16t & 17t pinion but the tires balloon at higher speeds plus its plenty fast and narly now.

Thank you for the links; I too will install this fan & mount to add a buffer for temps especially when summer returns!

Heads up, Blue Bird H50B helical geared torque monster servo doesn’t fit in the 410...

Stuck with Tekno 25 spline aluminum servo horn, what to buy if I don’t want a Savox? Hmmm.

ProTek 170 brushless. Monster torque and fast! Uses 25 tooth horn.

Pro Modeler has same spline count
ProModeler - 470oz-in, Std, BLS #DS470BLHV

I run a Protek 170SBL and it's a 25 tooth.

Like the price, but at 21 mm, won’t fit inte servo mount and puts me in the same boat as the H50B.

Pricey, but compelling! Like the servo lead option, too.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit? It’s exactly the same length and width as Savox standard servos. Just a hair taller is the only difference. I have one on hand that I can test fit tonight. I’m pretty sure it’ll fit

That would be awesome if you could verify. Think I read the specs wrong, does look like its 20 mm wide. Height should be ok, I think.

Edit - looks like there is conflicting information. At least I’m not loosing it...

See attachments, both are for the same servo.

Just checked. The Promodeler will fit. You can see in the picture that all the holes in the aluminum mount line up with the servo. I didn’t pull out the entire servo because there’s not enough slack in the wire(I didn’t want to remove the esc and open up the receiver box to completely put the servo in place) ...but it’ll fit.

I have been running the Backflips, Hobbystar 1700kv motor with 16 tooth pinion on 6S (either Graphene or Basher 4000mAh). I'm running the Yeah Racing dual fan and my summer temps were around 140F. Now that winter is here I will remove the fan for snow bashing.

@NevWeezy how was the first run?

Alright so I know this has been talked to death but I cant seem to find the answer. Regarding motor and ESC Im seeing that a lot of people are running truggy motors. My concern is space. I've seen several pics of truggy sized motors with Tekin RX8 ESCs but with very little room to spare but I do know that works.

I already have a Hobbywing XR8 plus which is quite a bit larger than the Tekin ESC 38x55.8x35.5mm (Tekin) versus 58.7x48x36.9mm (Hobbywing) to be exact. The motor im looking at is the Tekin Gen 2 4038 2000kv truggy motor. The can is 77mm long. Detailed specs aside, is anyone running one of these large truggy motors with the HW XR8 plus ESC?

I'm not completely sold on the truggy sized motor. I'll be using Badlands 3.8s (not the MX huge ones). I know the truggy motor will run cooler but I'm not sure it'd be necessary. Anyone having thermal issues running HW or tekin buggy motors in the 1900-2000kv range? I race my EB48.3 with a tekin 1900kv buggy motor and the HW XR8 Plus geared 44/19 and see temps around 140-150f on a hot day after 10-15 minutes of hard driven track time. Just not sure if the larger tires will push me over the edge and of course I can always gear down a bit. Oh and btw, i'll only be running on 4s.

Please help me decide
