WOW Dragonfueled , I didnt expect to hear that

So much for them being better? I guess Im not going that route. I had boca ceramics in my xxx-t mf2 and they were awsome but it doesnt abuse bearings like a mt does. Thanks You just saved me alot of money

I dont think they are sealed as well. The trans was fine but anything that encountered dirt went south pretty fast

The ones for the xxx-t were sealed with a rubber gasket?

So were these and were very smooth. After two races they were very gritty and after that they started failing.

Bernie I know what you ment I just hear allot of people say that if xxx motor is geared to low it will run hot. Maybe its a myth ... Also about timing , Medusa says run there motors at 8-15 for best effiency. Should we still run those on 0?

I to had heard there was a sweet spot, in which a brushless motor would run. My mambamax 4600 for example, with 20/87, the temps were 190*, but with 24/87 it runs at 160 most of the time. I think it has something to do with spinning on dirt and hitting max RPM for voltage. I think it wants to go faster, but the voltage kind of brakes it a bit, kind of like a voltage choke for a slot car. I hope you understand what i'm saying.

From the good news in jay ski V3 thread and this one, I hope to soon have a Brushless E-Revo, to kick it with my G2R

A good brushless motor has a very broad sweet spot -- and the Neu designed motors have a REALLY broad sweet spot. It is so broad, in fact, that the performance doesn't drop off at all when you push it TOO hard. So you have to be careful with temperatures....

Just make sure you don't exceed about 220F or so in normal usage.
