So I recently made an attempt at replacing the bearings in the stock can(the 2050kv blx) and made some poor decisions when it came to getting the new bearing into the lid. So, now I have an excuse to buy a new motor, and maybe ESC, cause that lid will never be the same.
I am looking for some suggestions, I have previously upgraded the rx/tx to the SR6100AT and DX5C so part of me says go all in with the spektrum smart lineup and grab a smart esc and motor. But in reading through all the various suggestions in the forums, I rarely see someone suggest spektrum's motors and ESC. I have seen alot of mention of the 1717 1650k lately and am kinda leaning that direction, figure i probably cant go wrong that way (unless i really try). Spektrums smart features are enticing, but Castle's data does look deeper.
To help in the decision making - I am mostly stock 6s mojave, upgraded servo and that is about it. The Motor always seemed to run hot and reach thermal limits well before I drained the cells. I did have a couple fans on the motor, and I am running the scorched fenders. so heat is my primary concern. I am not launching this thing very much mostly just running it through the desert.
thanks for any and all suggestions. maybe after this i will put a full build thread together.
