brushless crt x1

A buggy and a truggy are 2 different animals. I have found that the Feigao xl motors can power a buggy without too much heat buildup, but a truggy is typically about 2 pounds heavier, and most of the extra weight is rotating mass (so the 2 pounds feels like 3 or 4 pounds to the motor/electronics). I have run a 9xl in my Losi 8t and it would be in the "temp danger zone" at the end of a 7 minute race or at the end of a pack(5000mah 4s) when tooling around - this is without a fan for the motor. I would expect this to be the norm in a truggy if you can drive well enough to push it, yet a buggy in the same conditions would typically see 140f or so at the motor. Surely a fan for the motor would help, and it is pretty much necessary for the controller if you ask me (cooler is better and a fan is cheap insurance). If you want to drive hard and long, a Neu motor is the recommended answer - a Feigao is a great motor for its price, and most bashers or casual users don't push it hard enough to justify the higher price Neu motor....but if you want the best, a Feigao isn't it. :)
