I didnt say that your tekin truggy wasnt efficient. But the tekin truggy motor handle already less power than the 1515 1Y castle (1400w vs 1500w for the castle). It means that your tekin will virtually run hotter than a CC/neu 2200kV. As my opinion it will run as cool as a CC 2200kV because its lower kV and 5S.
But here in Europe, we stated that a 1500W motor is a little weak for truck heavy like monster or truggy, at the end of one run, the motor often rises to 150-160 °F with a tekin truggy or a CCneu 2200kV. And thoses high temps will literally kill your efficiency...
I started with a 1000W ORION combo 2050kV in my stock inferno VE, my runtimes was about 15 min with 150-160°F in the motor. I bought then a CC 2200kV combo, and i am now at 100°F max with 65-70°F outside and 20min of runtimes !!!
==> That mean a motor which can handle a lot of power consume less amp than a small motor that is pushed to its limit. A motor which can handle more power dont consume more amp than a smaller motor (there is a limit too, full throttle all time wil consumme more with a powerfull motor ^^^). Your tekin truggy, even geared to 40mph, will probably run above 130-140°F, and, for me, a motor which run above 100-110 °F isnt in its max efficient range.
As the 1520 handle theoritically 2000Watts, I think it will run at 90-100°F max, thats why I take this one instead the truggy or other lighter motor.
Here in Europe there have been many fried rx8 ESC too, and it appears that the mmv3 is the way to go. Its another reason to stay in Castle.
Third reason, castle motor cans are totally closed, and wires already solder internally so its really ready to run (I am not good at solding wires !!!!).
