My Revo 3.3 Brushless Conversion

Yes they do run a tad on the hot side and they are not the best quality either. Save up for a ccneu...great motors for the price. The 2200kv on 5s would do nicely in your set up.

A suggestion....before you go and race...try different gear combos. so that when you get to the track there are no surprises as far as temps. go. Of course, you can't plan for everything.

Good luck!

I took you advice and ran a pack through it in the back yard. I'm not sure if I was able to push it as hard as I do in a race though. With the 40t spur, my max temp on the motor was 152 and the esc was 109. The loss of top end wasn't too noticeable. I also had a few more minutes of run time. I should be good to go.

I always hear that the wheel spin on a dirt track is what really heats these motors up. Any truth in that? I was driving on somewhat wet grass with my losi/grp cubes tires. I cant imagine that they would slip anymore on loose dirt than wet grass.

I also now have an issue with the tekno battery tray. The metal tabs that the tray mounts to are starting to bend down. Any easy fix to strengthen this area?

Thanks for all of the help so far! I'm hoping I can get some updated pictures here in the next day or two to show the current state of the truck.
