You read the diagram wrong. The bolt pattern is 25mm, not the can diameter. The diameter is 35.8mm.

Hey guys, just an update...the 3800kv motor in an scte geared 15/40 is def. The sweet spot...great top end, great acceleration, and best of all, I ran back to back 2s 65C 5600mah protek's and the motor topped out at 155...:). I figured out why I was running so hot and it turned out that I was spinning my wheels too much and not getting enough traction , lol. Ive tried the 4.5 and 5.5 HV motors both with and without the 14mm tuning rotor and they both either got too hot or didn't have as much torque as I'm used to....i also tried the 2650kv 1512 cc/Neu and it worked fine as well, however, just make sure you have good lipos BC my 2s 5000mah 40c venoms had a hard time accelerating the truck from a dead start and bringing the nose down during jumps...but my protek's had zero issues .....hope this helps..

Today i tested the 1410 Motor in my RC8 to SC10 4WD Conversion

Setup
1410 3800KV
Mamba Max Pro
46/16 Gearing
2S 6200 mAh Lipo

On our small Indoor Track this is way enough for this heavy car.
Im more than impressed what this little motor does with the car.

The Track is in an old "Glashouse" and the temps inside where today in the high 80-90
After running about 15min on this bumpy carpet track the motor had 105 F

Castle what f***k have you put together here
This motor is a masterpice !!!!

Please come up with an 5mm shaft rotor ...
Meanwhile i will try to Neu 1409 4500 KV

Interesting and encouraging results, what does your RC8 weigh ready to race ?

[outlaw]

With the 2S Setup around 3,2kg

Not much more than the org. SC10 4x4

I will keep using this setup
2S2P will give me 10000 mAh and about 20-25 min runtime ...

I'm thinking about the Neu 1409 4500KV
Should be in the same "Class" as the 1410 i guess
"just" a little more RPM

[Bondonutz]

3.2KG is roughly 7.5lbs right ?
Sounds like a great idea, I might try this combo in my Losi 810.

[outlaw]

Little less 7.5 lbs
maybe close to 7.0

[Bondonutz]

Cool, my 810 should be about 1.0lb less ?

Not sure, but i have seen a picture of the T810 in a forum with the 1410 installed.
Maybe in this thread, with the motor installed, but can't remeber.
The feedback was more than positiv ...

I appreciate the link and I know about the sidewinder/SCT ESC having a 2s capacity and very limited to vehicle weight.( I bought the motor seperately anyway)

I think I'll wait till the 5mm shaft is availible befor I do this.
