I agree on the outrunner issue they have there place but not ideal in all situations.

I'm running a 5s A123, very close to 4s Lipo voltage. So the 15t/68t combo I have on it now should be in the good range I was thinking ~2000kv for 6s2p A123 would be good, not sure if I can get away with 8s1p, 8s2p is way too heavy, Need an HV MM ESC to go 10-12s A123. The more I think about it the more I think 8s1p should be ok, I could get away with 5s1p but I'm not sure 7-8min run times would be enough, 8s with the same power output would give 10-11min runs

We were also given a glimpse(verble) of the new Castle/Neu motor by Patrick so I might just wait for the MMM combos, Heavier, stiffer case, larger bearings, and more surface area then the true Neu 1515/1D motors. The only thing I dont care for is they are not going to wrap the rotor I threw a magnet in my Aveox 1010/2y(unwrapped rotor) at under 30k. The wrapped 2726 rotor I installed has been fine running 40+k. Maybe adhesive tech. has improved enough in the last 10yrs.

Since we all like pics, here is the truck this setup is really for.


Spur is a 49t, largest pinion I have so far is 14t. Diffs are 13/38(2.923:1). Once I decide on a dedicated ESC/motor for the E-maxx I'll give the EMT it's MM back and try the Medusa and a Hacker C40-8L.

Here are some Pics of My sons EMT, it was built by Santa and the Elves(me and the credit card) For X-mas this year. Hacker C50-13L/MM, 2s A123, 9t/52t gears to keep the speed down. He got a JR R-1 TX for his B'day so it's on a PCM RX now and no glitching like the RTR TX/RX had.
