4s on a 5000kv motor geared 46/9 will be running ~55mph. Way too fast for such a high kv. I can almost guarantee you are gonna have heat issues. With that high of a kv, I would go no higher than ~25mph, which is a 5T pinion (not available). You can run that motor, just don't expect it to last long, and your batteries and ESC are also going to be stressed.

Thats a neat motor mount, did you have it made?

You could run batteries in parrallel 2s2p - This might give you better gearing...

I like that, running a novak HV motor on LV (low voltage), funny. I still think a 6.5 novak would be a better choice...

And to get a 2s2p setup out of 2 2s lipos you would run them in parallel not series. Series would net 4s out of those packs.

hmm, that is a good idea, no need for a externeal bec ether...:neutral:

I'll give the 2s2p setup a try
mabey I'll stick to my 3300s untill I can get a diffrent motor, I don't think they could deliver the amps needed to creat a ton of heat

with a 13t pinion I should be just were I want it, but what about the torque?
would turning down the epa on my radio help???

any info on this motor???

Not unless you get it for under $40 shipped - it is a feiago...

whats so bad about them??:neutral:

Well for that price you can get a new one almost - your money is much better spent on a relaible modern motor such as the medusa or a cc neu.

Medusas can be picked up around that price point and would be a better choice. If you want to get started they are a cheap alternative - just go cheap as you will end up replacing it.

what about the savage flux motor? there still made by CC, right? the seem to be foing for <$130 do they have mounting holes in the endcap, or do they have to be clamped?

no they would be fine...

so are they basicly the same motor as the CC neus?

seeing that the CC Neus are only $140 on here, and come with the warrenty, etc. what would be better for me, the 2200 or the 2650??

I'm leaning more to the 2200 because the H7 is a HEAVY buggy, and I can alwase gear up a bit.


would my tekin RS pro have any issues with that motor? external bec, bigger caps, etc...

also, i can get Neu 1512/2.5D/S<!-- google_ad_section_end --> for ~$140 would it be worth it to get that instaid??

All are good choices - the 2200 castle - would be good as would allow you to use in a MT in the future...

Not used that tekin so can't comment - Jhautz runs the R1Pro I believe - not sure how that one compares...
