The RC8 begins

[Snipin_Willy]

I'm running the Tekin motor with a MMM controller. The only complaint I've had about the MMM is that the fans go out; run in a dusty environment and they go out really fast. The Tekin motor seems great so far. It was a really hot day out and the humidity really didn't help the motors cool any. After 6 min all of our motors came off the track at about 165-170. I was running a Teken 1650 buggy motor on 5s, the other two guys had 4s setups: one an MMM 2200 truggy motor, the other a Tekin 1900 buggy motor. I would have expected the larger castle motor to stay cooler but....The whole motor heat problem in these new setups has me boggled. Similar setups compared to my truggy can run in the 140-150s, while I'm geared more or less the same and get temps in the 170-180.
