EP Savage X build

[MetalMan]

No bad experiences with Hobby City, but those cheap motors are just that - cheap. I had that same motor, but a lower kv, and with my Savage geared for about 40-45mph (with center diff) the motor cooked itself right up to about 350 deg. F.

Wonder how it would fare with a heatsink and fan... someone from the e-savage.com forums just told me that he uses the 9L of that model and its been running great...

Regardless, I could just use it as a portable grill!
