Killer Kraton
Active Member
I had a 4070 TpPoer 1700kv in my Kraton, I use 4s had a 14 tooth pinion.. never got over 100 degrees barely. It was fast enough for my yard.
I am now experimenting with the Traxxas version of Castles 1717 1650kv.
I have only ran this (always had a MMX) motor 3 times and it is still COLD here in Michigan. No heat problems conservative geared with the same 14 tooth pinion. I do think it should have no problem when it gets warmer out.
I just ask because the motor seems perfect for the Kraton, but noone else mentions it in the forum. I did raise the center diff with some spacers between the chassis to clear the large diameter of this motor.
Any body have good or bad experiences with this motor? I haven't ran it enough yet to have a great conclusion. Seems the same or extremely close to what the Tp was like.
Thanks guys,
Chris
