I've had my felony since launch day, and in that time; I have based it, Dragged it and made some speed runs. Tonight I ordered a new motor.
TP5650 @ 2060 KV . Will it fit? Maybe. Probably going to require some good old fashioned shoe horning to run it in the stock location like I'm planning to, But worse case I'll just mount it on the side.
Castle XLX. She's old, but trusty. Then comes the gearing, and that's why I'm reaching out to you fellow RC Enthusiasts. Does anyone have some Ideas on where to start Gearing wise. I don't think the speed gear will really stress this motor, But I'm also giving up some RPM's with this trade for torque. I'll need to increase my tire budget once Horizon gets them in stock.
And, also while I have you attention. Does anyone have any thought on potentially shortening the canister on this motor while retaining the internals ?? Would this be a relatively small project, or should I just flip the mounts, and take the easy way out? I've never really a modified a motor that the extent I may have to.
