question about amp draw on mm 5700 in a 4 tec

[lincpimp]

Well, what gearing and speed are you going for? 40amps at 11.1v is around 400 watts at most, maybe good for 35mph? I would gear conservatively and keep an eye on temps on the first few runs. Then gear up until the batts start to give.

I have run similar motors in my tamiya tt01 and a 4000 11.1v maxamps pack kept up. We all know what i think of their ratings, so I know that Dan's (true rc) packs can keep up. His stuff is underrated.
