Any one tried a Tekin motor in a crt.5?
 

JUst curious if anyone tried one of these in a crt.5....http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/23836

A friend of mine ran a similar one in a FLM converted rustler w/out any probs.

Or any other Tekin motor

Monster Mike runs a tekin motor in his .5, IIRC...

i thought he was using the 70mm medusa:neutral:

I was looking at running one of them when I was looking at doing a CRT.5 conserision and was told the VXL motor would be a better choice as it is just the tiny bit bigger. (perfect size for CRT.5)

I have a 3300kv medusa in one of the crt.5, but wanted something more powerful in the other. I wish I had enough for a Neu, but, times are tight right now.

Just FYI, a tekin motor of the same kv as a 50mm medusa is going to be less powerful. i have the 632 3200 kv motor that ive tried on 3s and 4s, and compared to a novak motor for example, it has less torque at low rpm and higher torque at the mid-high end of its powerband. Good for 2wd trucks on an offroad track, but not so much of a powerhouse

If you need more power than a 50 x 3300 Medusa on 3S in a crt.5 then you are just going for land speed records, or you need better lipos. I have that combo with fresh 3S 4000 lipos and it is crazy powerful. I'm talking about clearing 25' triples at 1/2 throttle with only a 10' run it.

for x-mas I will hopefully be geting a couple of 3s 4k Zippy li-po...so it should do alright
