So the aveox is a monster then?

Cool testing linc! This is great information.

I am very happy with the sidewinder so far. I see no reason to use any other esc for 10th scale 2wd. I guess you would need something with more current capability if you are trying to do high speed runs, but for general use it works very well. I have a xxx-cr that I want to try a novak 3.5 on 2s lipo, and will use the sidewinder. Maybe it will have better luck in the lighter buggy with lower gearing.

I had a vxl rustler, and it ran hot. I had the stock gearing and a mamamps 3s 4000 lipo in it. The lipo was cool after the run, but the motor was very hot, and the esc was hot too. I was just not very impressed by it, compared to my feigao/mm combo. It did not seem as effecient as the runtime was quite a bit less. Plus the lack of programability was the main factor that I did not keep it. The mm is a superior esc, just would be nice if cc put a better motor with the combo.

Thanks, I try! Pity that aveox has quit selling rc motors. I picked all of my aveox motors up from their ebay sales, I must have 10 motors and they are all very well built. Plus I paid about 60-65 bucks each, so they were great deals. They seem to be comparable with the hacker c50, neu and lehner motors, and work very well in everything that I have tried them in. I have a 1300kv version of the next can length up, and plan to use it in a rustler on 9s. Should be interesting, to say the least

Yeah, it really is a disappointment that they stopped selling them. I remember their ESC and motor combo (the "RC7" motor). I had always wanted one of those bad boys when I first got into brushless. People ran emaxxes with that little motor in it!

I found a few places that still sell the motors, but it's hit or miss. Some are either super expensive (like, 260 bucks for the exact motor you used), or are super cheap, but not in stock.

Oh, well, I am glad I got mine when I did. The most expensive aveox motor I bought was $125, and that was a 1515 size motor with 1200kv. Still a killer deal. I guess people did not know what the motors were? I think I paid 45-50 bucks for the pede motor, cheaper than a feigao l can, and it was brand new.
