2.5T 13800KV w/RX8 in my CRT.5 startup test vid. Only used 3s A123 and soldered up 4 caps of 1000uF 35V for Mrs. Ripple. Don't mind the wiring for now as I finished it at 1.30 AM. Used 6mm motor plugs, so I should be good once I have some time to actually do a full run. 12T is the smallest pinion I have and I believe 11T would the be smallest I can use for a nice gear mesh. As you can see, I don't use no stinkin' sensor cable and still get that high kv motor started smoothly. But that might actually chance when I gun the trigger
This setup is actually made to proof to some fellow dragracers that a 2.5T motor can be used with the RX8. As I sold both my dragsters, I opted to use the CRT.5 just to proof how robust this esc really is.
