I will suggest 70mm rather than 60mm as it's stronger n able to run d truck with less effort. What batts are u running for ur race? That will determine wat motor u shld use.

I used to run 2000kv in heats then main change to 1600 but I found it too tiring. So I use 1600 now throughout n change gearing.

Heats I use 16Pinion with 4s 5000 n main I use 11pinion on 6s 5000 with 1 batt change

ERevo has 2 batt it will b slower to change batt so in main u must use high capacity batt n lower d gearing so the esc n motor will run cooler unless it's winter in your county.

Make sure ur packs are of the same age as in series d older/weaker pack will discharge faster leaving it overdischarge.

Wat batts u hv now n gearing? Is this ur first race?
i use 2s 2sp a123 4600mah batteries in serie and 7.4v lipo 8000mah 10c in serie too..
these last ones are weak in discharge force and heat a lot, the a123 are powerful and discharge is great too!!
i have to invest in more a123 or lipo, but since a few days ago one batterie explod right in front of my eyes maybe i will go to a123 again..
i will buy the neu or medusa or a new hobbywing complete combo, and in these case i stay with a spare esc.

thank´s and regards


you are what you race!!
