I am very happy with the FT stock 2050kv motor and stock pinion since June.
I have an RCP fan on it and a temp display. Yesterday was a "rare" 77F, and the max motor temp hit 149F. Not bad but it's not summer. My bashing style is not jumping... more dirt, small hills over the golf course, etc. Yesterday from start to end full throttle no stops between, no mid-throttle...FT is so well balanced flipping is not an issue. I got a little over 10min and LVC hits and as stated 149F on motor ESC in 90's. Added fresh batteries and at it again.
What motor are you all running? Future goal is seeking what motor will give me lower temps keeping the same performance. I do not want a 4985-1650KV that is in my Kraton so in there something in the middle between that and the stock motor to run cooler than stock.
Thx
BTW: I am sure if I stopped between those runs, it's all good since that is what happens when I bash with friends the motor is well below 149F. A lot of talking while the car sits and cools before we bash again. Just keeping my options open here.
Picture change since I was blasted on it, LOL
