Did some speed runs today.

The first runs were with a Lehner XL1600 and 6s kokams. Gearing was set at 12/51 with the center diff. The best speed was 50.2 mph.
The little lehner XL makes good power but the small motor runs HOT. I just don't think the motor was made for these high watts. It has a small amount of cogging on slow take off. When floored will wheelie the truck about 6 inchs in the air but will not flip the truck over. Not a bad motor weighing in at 216 grams but would need fans to run cool in the summer.
Now for the BIG BOY!
Speed runs with the Lehner 2240/10 using 6s Kokams. Started out with 14/51. This gearing is used for bashing and runs stone cold. The speed was over 54 mph with temps not breaking 100. Using 16/51 gearing temps were around 125 and the best speed was 59.7 mph. The combo will run 60 mph plus easy.
The road in front of my house had stone chips and tar put down not that long ago. It's real hard to keep a 60 mph monster truck strait skating on pea gravel. The Truck went for some crazy cartwheels and flips but came back begging for more.
The 2240's are my favorite motors. They are very costly but run cool and make big power. The motors weight is 480 grams. This motor has no cogging at all and can do the "drift backwards slow take off" trick with no cogging. The 2240 will wheelie and flip the truck(can't beat the Nitro boys on you back:L: ).
Sorry for the book but felt like passing some info along.
Thank you,
