More "SCT" motors

@ Mr. Pat or Thomas, Any updates on the 5mm shaft for these motors ?

[Thomas Porfert]

5mm rotor "rebuild kits" are currently on order, hopefully we'll have some in May; but no exact date yet. We'll have the rebuild kits with the 1/8" shaft at the same time.

As far as the 1415/.5Y goes, we did receive a limited number of prototypes and the initial testing looks good. We do need some real world testing though.

I have one prototype left and looking for a good home. It would need to be mounted in a Losi short course, or similarly heavy short course truck on a 2s Lipo on a large outdoor track, preferably an 8th scale track. It has a 5mm output shaft so it would work very well on the new Losi short course. I only have one though so it needs to be for this specific setup. Thanks!

Thomas, if you want a "similarly heavy short course truck"
My RC8 to SC10 4x4 conversion would be perfect

It is about 7 lbs incl. a single 2S Lipo

Just had another testday
max temp was 75 degree C without fan and about 35 degrees C ambiente

I love this motor....

Well, we kind of wanted to test this on a short course truck since that what is designed and intended for. It would probably work in a 1/8th on a conservative setup, but that won't be the intended market. We want to hit the racers on bigger tracks that are required to run 2s and where the 1410/1Y will overheat and the 1415/1Y won't produce enough speed on 2s.

Well thats want I do...
my Car is 2S only and the org. Sc10 4x4 is not much heavier

I though to have two different tracks would be an good idea.

anyway
I wait for the release

Thomas you have PM.

Any pricing on the 1410 rebuild kits w/ the 5mm shafts? Really looking forward to getting my hands n one of these.

If this were 3 weeks from now I would volunteer to test your 1415 .5 motor in my SCTE. But the big outdoor track wont open for a few weeks. The 1410 is a killer little motor. The little motor can dish out more power than my poor Maxamps 150C () 2s pack can deliver. The motor hasn't overheated on the fairly large indoor track I run at, but the Lipos sure do start to sag after a couple minutes of race time when trying to clear the big double/triple. You can just feel how much less punch they have a few minutes into the race vs what they were when they were fresh charged. But the little 1410 motor just keeps dishing out as much power as the battery can deliver.
