I need some help choosing the better motor for castle mmx8s ESC. I want to build a 1/7 track car. Weight is probably like 5.4kg, geared to 70-80mph on 8s. Pricing for either combo would be identical here in Germany (420€).
1) TP motor with 1800kv or 2200kv, weight 650 grams, 75000rpm. So the TP motor could be geared lower than castle motor. But I think it has D winding, does that work well with the castle esc? At least the timing can be reduced from 10 degrees to 0, which should help with heat reduction. Does it have more power because it's slightly bigger?
2) The caslte 1717 motor is probably set up to work well with the esc, it only weighs 600 grams, 56000rpm. So it would need to be geared higher. But I also read about exploding rotors on that thing, so I am a bit nervous about 8s.
So what do you guys think is better for track use with repeated acceleration and braking? The price is identical so do you prefer one motor over the other?
