Note that I was talking about "light" 1/10th scale vehicles in that post -- but the trend recently have been to heavier, more robust 1/10th scale cars.

Also -- please note that we haven't discontinued the CM36 motors -- they will still be available. So, what we recommend is that for lightweight 1/10th scale vehicles where maximum acceleration is the most important aspect, the CM36 slotless motors are still best. For heavier cars, the 1406 four pole motors will be superior.

My motivation is efficiency, i know with some new products, they are making them more durable with thicker or denser materials. But i'm after efficiency, I love my stadium trucks, light, agile and very quick. Any motor will make them fast, even Novak, But i want cooler running and longer runtimes. If the 1406/4600 can pull a Slash 4x4 without problems, the 1410/3800 can pull my T4 all day without any trouble. With the 1406/4600 being as strong as it is, I believe the 1415/2400 might be a good 1/8 buggy/ 1/10 truggy motor on 3s. lipo


Hey Patrick, Will there be some smaller motors for the mini classes?
