yep the two poles hk kb kd and fieago style motors just run way too hot
i have three dead ones here 3674mm size
even running them with a fan mounted in heavy ext savage
same truck with 4060mm red leopard 1900kva runs cool and strong with no fan
motor tech is just getting better and cheaper and more efficient
So if I wanted to go cheap just to test the waters say with a tacon 4074 2000kv motor I would be ok? I want to gear anywhere from 30-35 for bashing but I'm wondering if motor rpm is going to be really high at that gearing. Or should I shell out the extra money for a leopard lower kv motor?
Here's a link to the motor im considering http://www.hobbypartz.com/96m801-4074-2000kv.html
