What bl motor to use with 3s lipos

[crazyjr]

I think the 5700 is too close to its max at 3s, its still under warranty, but mine heated up too much no matter how i geared it, This was in a T4. I run a 4600 now in the same truck and am happier, I can run 2s and its controlable and 3S is insane

Ya I havnt orderd the motor yet but will tonight for sure. So you think 4600 will be good? what kind or speed can you get off the 4600 and 3s lipo with or around 15 thru 18-86 gearing?

Edit: And how bout with 7 cell nimhs what kind of speed?, I decided Im going to order a 7 cell IB nimh, and Maxamps 3s 6000mah Lipo

And did it seem more controlable on the 4600 motor with the 11.1 volts?

Thanks

If it were me I'd go 4600, the lower KV will make it heat up less and run more efficient. You may not be able to use the 8000 mah 3S as its big BIG, I just got a 5000 maxamps pack in both 2s and 3s. The 8000 2s will fit only a little modification, the 5000 3s will fit perfectand weigh less than a 6 cell pack

Wow what a hard choice, on other forum people telling me I will be disspointed with the speed of the 4600, when I could go with the 5700. An here you guys say its good. I dont know what to do, I got one more day to decide any other opinions would be great, thanks guys so much for the info and help

Edit: I still leaning slightly towards 4600 over 5700, because I really dont want to deal with heat issues that much, But are they any other setups that run similar price or alittle more then mamba, that will take 3s, good speed, and run cooler then mm?

And to whom it concerns Im very sorry for double posting same topic I should of only posted in this forum.

I wouldn't say its more controlable, when you put that much power through your driveline there is no such thing as control. I will say this, I run my 4600 sunday at my track for play (nobody else had one there) even if i had a mm left to gowhen i pegged it it would wheelie out of control, I did two backflips with the T4 and blew out three tires on the 3S pack
