As for performance; for those of you who think strapping a piece of aluminum to a electric motor will make it go faster, I've got some magical beans for sale
So far our testing with the plastic endbell has yielded the same operating temperatures as the Al version, 145-165*F…..

Curt,
That's good to hear. I was worried before about heat dissipation with the polymer endbell. How often do you need to change the springs on the CPs? Btw, do you have the magic beans in stock? joke

Curtis- That C2 was rocking today. It just needed some more runs on it I guess because it was by far the fastest motor at the track today. People know when I come on the straight to pull over so they don't hear the crowd go wild from the ponies. Good luck at the Snowbirds.
