Yea, Could be.

I was running the 1940/7 in an Ofna buggy for a little while w/ a Quark125 on a 16/51 gearing. It screamed and temps were fine. 16/51 and 15/46 are close to the same ratio. Thats why I choose 15T as the starting point. I estimated that if anything I would be undergeared on the Neu.

I tend to think its just the MM is a smaller controller not built to take the same kind of load as the Quark. But you are right, I probably could gear it down a bit to make it run cooler. And probably would need to on a track anyway.

I just think that motor on 5s is a little to much to be runnnig on the MM. Its going to tend to draw more than the lower Kv motor. Although, Once I start gearing the lower Kv up to get a little more speed, who knows.

There are so many variables I feel like you just need to feel you way into it for every setup. Kinda like an art rather than a science.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
