Use punctuation. I have to read it like 5 times to get what your saying. I get it if your on a phone, but it still makes it harder for the rest of us.Ok... So tell me why I'm trying to figure the purpose of a motor that size with my set up would that motor run on 3-/4s and if so speed or brute

The motor would run on 3s and 4s. It wouldn't get very warm on 3s, and it would get warm-hot on 4s. You could probably get away with using a 3200kv motor for 4s, but it wouldn't last as long. The speed-brute depends a lot on your gearing too. It will be plenty power imho though.
Ok so would the 540xl better suited for the task or simply go back stock just run the 150amp esc and do 4s whenever?Use punctuation. I have to read it like 5 times to get what your saying. I get it if your on a phone, but it still makes it harder for the rest of us.

Sorry if I made it sound like it wouldn't work. It would, it's just the motor would get hotter than if you had a lower kv motor. If you hadn't already bought a motor, i'd go a little lower. Like a 3200kv motor. If you already bought it, it should work. If your running 4s, full throttle the whole time, the motor will most likely get too hot.. Maybe just watch the motor temp, and if you think its getting too hot, get a heatsink and/or fan for it. If you can't touch the motor for more than 10-30seconds, it's too hot.Ok.lol..so try it the 6th time.. . I don't know anything about motors..so that being said and with my current 150 amp esc..and me only wanting to run 3s & 4s more street and no hard bashing just back yard chase the dog stuff and wanting better performance than stock why would the 4400kv not accomplish that..
So would that make the 2400kv to small or large to fit my purpose as compared with the 3200 kv that I had running on 20t? that's what I'm not quite understandingSorry if I made it sound like it wouldn't.

The 2400kv will fit physically, it is what's in the 4s outcast and 4s kraton.So would that make the 2400kv to small or large to fit my purpose as compared with the 3200 kv that I had running on 20t? that's what I'm not quite understanding
And the lower kv one is the 540xl 2400 I have correct.. because thats where i loose my poop but I think i get it.. if lower means 2400kv as compared to 4400 kv..then it should be if im correct 2400kv gear up pinion 4400 kv gear down pinion ?The 2400kv will fit physically, it is what's in the 4s outcast and 4s kraton.
From what I understand, the 2400kv won't have as much power as the 3200kv motor. But, the 2400kv motor won't get as hot as the 3200kv motor because the RPM is lower in the 2400kv motor. So you have to find a kv that is in the middle, or the highest you can go without over heating. So the 4400kv (or whatever you have) should work, but it will get hotter than normal, depending on your gearing. It has more revolutions per volt than the 3200kv motor.
Or if you have a lower kv motor, you could put a bigger pinion or smaller spur gear to get more speed out of it. The bigger pinion is the easiest, but the highest you can go is 26T on the stock motor mount.
Yeah, that sounds about right.And the lower kv is the 540xl 2400 I have correct..see that where i loose my poop but I think.i get it.. if lower means 2400kv as compared to 4400 kv..then it should be if im correct 2400kv gear up pinion 4400 kv gear down pinion ?
Wow thank you now I get it..so let me ask this does a simple larger esc(150amp) swap in effect push a stock motor(3200kv) better than stock esc(100amp) and if so would the 150amp esc do better with the 2400kv with gearing or the 3200kv hope this makes sense.Yeah, that sounds about right.
I don't think the gearing would affect it, but I would just go with the bigger esc to make sure. I think it goes like this: 100 amp:3s, 120 amp:4s 150 amp:6s. Don't run 4s on 100amp though.Wow thank you now I get it..so let me ask this does a simple larger esc(150amp) swap in effect push a stock motor(3200kv) better than stock esc(100amp) and if so would the 150amp esc do better with the 2400kv with gearing or the 3200kv hope this makes sense.
Ok..so my esc should be fully capable to run 6s I only need 3s /4s ..therefore I just need a motor that can handle the load of 3s/4s ..then from there's gearing and a few other factors come into play depending on purposeI don't think the gearing would affect it, but I would just go with the bigger esc to make sure. I think it goes like this: 100 amp:3s, 120 amp:4s 150 amp:6s. Don't run 4s on 100amp though.
4068-2650kv is perfect for 4s.Thank you for the response my questions are
1: 3670kv -2850kv is better for speed and the latter4068-2650kv is better for bashing ..(torque) or are you saying there's a difference in 3s/4s capabilities ..all I'm trying to achieve is better(Faster) than stock 3s..and I figured 4s upgrade would be the sure fire way to get to that .
- First thing I did was lose that lousy factory controller went with the dumborc 6channel with gyro..boy talk about difference in night and day
- RPM Front and Rear Arms
- ProTek RC Servo
- HD 57T slipper /20t pinion
- Replaced all bearings
- upgraded the shocks
- proline wheels and a set of outcast Hoons since they look so much nicer than factory.
- Quicrun 08 WP8BL150 esc
- Motor undecided..headache
