How are your motor temps with the 39t spool
34t pinion? I have a 39t spur 39t pinion, thats what I was going to start with. I do have a 34 t pinion aswell.
 
I run the heck out of it it cool right now and ill put 2 packs through it and its never to hot to touch. We will see this summer I have an NTF fan set up for when it gets warmer.have not installed yet.
I also was going to try the 1 to 1 combo. Do you have heat priblems or cogging with that set?
Right now Im running the zeee 9200 mah 100c i like them because they last and so far so goo d.
 
Had a blast yesterday hobbywing 800kv motor was a beast, ran 39t 1.1 ratio, and 39t spur 34t pinion. prefered the 39t 1.1
ordered a HobbyStar 56112 980KV to try out. Hope Im not shooting myself in the foot..
 
I have the 980kv seems to get to speed quicker. The torque of the 800 is just rediculous. Now Im going to have to go 1 to 1. Thanks for post. Cant go wrong with the 980 either.

I had just purchased the 8s. I am going to be replacing the EFC with the max 5. I am still contemplating on which motor to go with. Which motor mount are you guys using.
 
What motor is a good option for the 8S. I was considering the 1100 KV motor. But I see a lot of guys are using the 980 KV.

They seem to be out of stock, I have a NIB hobbystar 980kv if you are interested
Their website said it was out of stock but I placed my order and I sent him a message and he sent out one. I am interested in the motor. I’m assuming it is new.

Love PPS-RC! Wish they made the whole mount for the 8s rigs! 🤷‍♂️
Thanks again appreciate it.
