Ok I know there are some sharp people on this forum, that would notice I had a T8 motor in the picture. I originally had a MMM 2650kv motor and was pleased with the power and lighter weight, but I could not consistantly get the temps where I wanted them with the gearing available to me (45T spur). So I tried a MMM 2200kv motor out of my truggy and it was great, performance wise and temps were better. But when the Tekin T8 motors came out I really liked what people were saying about the power, it could be use sensored or sensorless, and I like that it had solder on post, 4mm mounting holes and it was lighter, so I sold the MMM 2650kv motor and got a Tekin 2050kv buggy motor (the one in the picture). Unfortunetly, on the first pack the magnet separated from the shaft and I had to reinstall my MMM 2200kv truggy motor. Don't get me wrong while it was running the Tekin motor was great, matter of fact I am running a 2100 T8 in my truggy and have about 8 packs thru it with no issues. I contacted Tekin and they admitted there was an issue with some of the earlier rotors and a new improved rotor was now being produced and they would send me one right away no questions asked. This is a great example of a company showing they stand behind their product. So for now I am running the MMM 2200kv motor with a 47T spur that gives me many more gearing options, the temps are consistant and the MMM works great with the T8.
