Hi all, looking for some advice... I have a Senton Mega for one of the youngsters in the family. He is fine with the brushed motor and we run on 2s lipo. However, the problem is that the motor is overheating quite regularly (we're running a 6500 mah pack which easily lasts 25-30 min, if not more). We're both getting tired of waiting around for the motor to cool down, so I'm thinking of upgrading the motor.
I don't want to a) break the Senton Mega or b) upgrade it at all (not worth it - will just move to a BLX when the time comes). I am willing to compromise on motor power, torque, and punch. All I care about is being able to run 20-30 min without overheating. To be honest, the kid in question isn't even a speed demon (yet!) so he doesn't mind if the truck tools around in the 20s.
The question is, what kind of motor and ESC can the Senton handle without any upgrades? It is clearly doing just fine on the stock brushed motor (we run this truck a lot, and so far no issues at all).
Any recommendations on what to put into this rig? I can go with the usual Castle motor + esc but I'm trying to avoid over-investing in this truck.
Thanks!
