I plan on going 6S/low kv and so far a Tekin 1400/MMM combo seems the best option (I've already got two MMM, and I'm not wanting to try the RX8 yet). Other than the rotor issue, the Tekin motors seem to be performing well under race conditions.

I've enjoyed reading the write up you've posted here- I hope there are more updates to follow! Thanks for all the info so far!

I think may be the motor was just bad, or didn't have enough torque for my setup. I have since been running a 2200KV MMM motor (truggy size) and the temps are great. I am running a Tekin 2000kv motor in my 8ight 2.0 truggy and it has been running great and no issues with the rotor. I also just recieved some of the Castle blower fans, and it fits righ on the motor and under the body with no clearence issues. It should help keep the temps down on those super hot days here in Socal.
