you did the forward only conversion as well I assume? I think I'm going to ditch the mechanical brakes when I redo this. they were a pain to change the first time anyway.

But if you ditch the 2 speed, then the motor heats up a lot more because you don't have the lower gear to start it off right?

Now running a 34T pinion. This motor is the 1717 1580kv Castle motor, Castle Mamba Monster on 6S. The closest thing to it now is the XO-1 motor.

Also, I changed to motor brakes because I could not get it to stop or stop chewing through brake pads & discs. They would glow red in the night time!!
