More "SCT" motors

IMO, the 1/8 shaft is too weak.

I understand the 1/8 shaft motor being a direct replacement and that's all good. But the 5mm pinions are readily available now.

The first thing I do when working on a setup is toss out the 1/8 shaft motor and gears, then in goes a bigger motor and better gears.

Sometimes the spur gear gets tossed out also, only to be replaced with Mod 1 gears.

We have to think "tougher" especially with the power levels we're putting down.

Weak stuff just don't hold up to extended use.

i'd say the option rotor should be 1/8 and the standard shaft 5mm. the motors are best used in heavier vehicles than 10th scale 2wd buggies and stadium trucks.heck i'd like to give it a try in a 1/8th buggy

Been running the 3800kv 1410 in my Losi 810 conversion for over a month now and it's doing great. Running on 3s. Of course this buggy is significantly lighter than a standard 1/8 buggy. It's weighing in rtr at just under 6lbs. Don't think it would do to well in a normal 7+lb buggy. But if the performance I've been getting from the 1410 is an indicator I'm bettin the 1415 would probably fo the job in a lighter 1/8 buggy if it was geared reasonably.
