MMM + 2200 + 6S in revo 18 62 gearing
 

Well i have to say i have finally found the perfect set up. My erevo on 6S with the MMM 2200 combo on 18/62 with a pair of 3S zippy's. The truck is running close to 50Mph on speedruns and at the same time is a monster on our track.
The best part is that the motor hasnt been over 120 and im getting a good 35 mins racing.
FInally the temp issues are behind me and i can focus on tuning the shocks and tire combo!

Its incredible the difference between this motor and an 8XL - night and day not to mention the 8XL wound up smoking after a full pack of speed runs where the 2200 is barely breaking a sweat.

WAY TO GO CASTLE!!!!

with 6s lipo a 8XL is too hot of a motor , a 10XL would be a much better setup, Feigaos are not very forgiving a 10lb truck

As I suspected. Glad to read about what's working for you.
I've got the same combo in the 'maxx running 24/68, but on 4S and it's obviously not getting hot.
My e-revo, on the other hand, has the kb45 08XL on 6S geared 24/62 and I'd have to agree the motor's still not happy.
Maybe I should just spare the 8XL and run 6S in the maxx till I decide to swap out the 8XL for another CC2200.
I really like that motor. Kinda adds meaning to the "cheap" statement people tend to blurt out when discussing feigaos and the like. When compared to a NEU/Castle, they certainly seem cheap to me. :)

Happy running.

You were right bro
 

I just put in the 62t last night and ran with the 18t and nothing but happy right now. I'm sure my batteries helped alot also, im using Thunder power 5000mah 40c....anyway ran it hard and checked temps, nothing over 120. Hopefully this will stay the same cause i wanna get maximizer beadlock w/ badlands so will see. later

Do you think with me getting Maximizer beadlock and badlands, that i should go up to a 20t pinion because of the weight difference, just trying to keep the motor running smooth(2200kv). i'm running 62/18

the Badland tires do balloon a lot I would tape them before putting on the beadlocks

Thx for the reply
 

So do you think i should stay with the 62/18 combo or go to a 62/20 cause of the extra weight w/ maximizer beadlocks and badlands.

I'm really enjoying my MMM 2200 on 5S in my 3905. Its stays nice and cool vs my 7xl on 4S both motor and speed control. 6S and gearing down should make for even better temps. I'm thinking of going that route but it just seems like a lot of RPM for the 2200 on 6S.

runs great on 6S with the 2200 everything is cool. its not too many RPM as long as you arent just going up and down the street. we race on a smaller track so its perfect.
i was running taped badlands but have since switched to panther tires on the 17mm traxxas revo wheels - because these are low profile they dont naturally balloon. this is a very good set up. im down to sorting out the shock rates springs.
