Ok sounds good. In general I prefer running a sensored system so it will probably be a 1900 rx8, god Im going to get so much flak for buying another tekin product lol. Any way, how about gearing for that system? I know its mostly dependant on track size etc but what is a good round about start point? And does the kit actually come with a pinion or no? Cuz the nitro kits usually come with a clutch bell, Im wondering if the same holds true for the 8th electric stuff
Depending track size....a good start with a 1900kv is 19/46 nice to have in you toolbox pinions 18-22

mmp is offered in the 8th scale sc8e rtr by associated, with the 2200kv castle / neu motor. So they much think it's enough.
the mmp can be both sensored and sensorless so motor choice doesnt matter.

I'm choosing this as a cheap alternative on a backup ESC if the Tekin Shiznits the bed.

And yes, you may choose any mmp motor you want and they are capable of sensored or sensorless operation. But if you want sensored operation, you need a Tekin.

I'm running a 19T. 20T also safe. I don't know what your temps run gregg, but I'd assume in the 140 - 150 range yes?
21 - I wouldn't go more than that or you're pushing over geared territory and will face temp issues.
Better to run cool than run overly fast. (IMO)

You can run sensored or sensorless 1/8 scale motors. What really matters is how you set up the esc. CHEAT mode is generally not recommended for mod motors or larger 1/8 scale motors.

I run one in my RC8Be whenver my Tekin isn't working. Runs very well and temps stay low. Running 4s with a 1900 Tekin motor geared 46/19-20.

My Whip RC8BE TEKNO V4! I moved my esc back a little since this pic and zip tied it! Scary close to the pinion. Also balanced it out better, these are the initial photos after assy.
V4 chassis, RX8 1900kvT8, 5s batt's, lunsford pins and buckles, team Hubs, light weight stubs, Jconcepts wing ect ect... the car is always changing!
