It has the Medusa heat sink on it. Today I tried 15/50 on 4s, lowest timing. Perfect speed wise, got me what I was looking for, but only 17 minutes (need 20 if I want to race). Temps were good too, 145 and 50 degrees outside. One other thing I'm wondering if 10/50 on 5s would be undergeared. Where I'm trying to get is when I ran my SC8 with a 1515/1/Y/F it was geared 13/54, I think.

I no longer have my SC8 and am not positive of the spur gear tooth count. The manual online shows it to be a 54 tooth spur. Since the SC8 and the D8 share the same diff gearing (43/10) and the same size tires the 2000kv geared the same on 5s would be perfect. The SC8 was crazy fast, ran 27 minutes on a Polyquest 5s 6000mah 25c and the motor maybe got to 120 degrees.
