Have you guys done any testing on heavier truck Joe?

Dang, looks like I might have to get another motor after all. I have a 6s NeuEnergy battery and I don't think the 2200kv motor will like that. Unless I like my motors to cook bacon and my truggy to go 80mph.

Why couldn't you just use the castle software and slow the motor down. but keep the volts?
Or couldn't you use some radio programing and set your end points down, and change your throttle expo (I have a nomadio sensor, but I think the spektrum can do the same thing.

Then you could keep your batteriers and motor, just not using their "full potential"

Well, that's the thing, for best efficiency I want to keep the motor in a certain RPM range. The 1500kv was the best for my calcs based on the gearing and 6s batt. We'll see though. The "gear down" idea sounds good, but I don't know that it will be what I'm after. Don't know that I could find a small enough pinion. 9t is the smallest I know of - maybe I could find a 4t.
