hey guys... I did a little racing at a couple events at my local track (2 hours away) last year and did pretty good, considering. (revo 3.3 BL) I am the only brushless MT there, at least last year I was, this year maybe someone got a e-revo BL, who knows...

But I have been practicing some racing maneuvers around my yard, yada, yada, and after doing some very hard running with a 7s1p A123 pack, the motor is quite hot now that it's summer temps. It seems like the motor is running hotter than it used to, or maybe i'm just getting harder on the throttle? I've run the 1512 for 2 years now with great bashing success (whatever that means), but when you push it, it warms up. Great power however.

Setup:

-1512 3D 1700kv.
-7s1p A123.... Although, will be running new Hyperion G3 35C 6s 4200mah pack from now on.
-Quark 125B (hasn't died on me yet, third times a charm)
-15/51 gearing on gmaxx single speed gearbox

I don't have the temps because I lost my temp gun, but the motor gets hot enough that I can only hold it for about 6 seconds maybe? That's running it very hard without flipping the thing backwards. I would guess at up to 165F at least.

So, I am stuck with three decent motor choices:

-HPI Flux Tork 2200Kv (based off Neu? or Tekin?))
-CC 2200kv Neu
-and last and maybe a better choice the Tekin Truggy 2000kv. motor

I'd like to hear your opinions and/or experience on these motors.

thanks.
