RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Lehner motor and MGM controller for my T3

Scoob · 05:39 PM

I want to buy either a Basic 4200 or 5300 motor for my T3( I'm going to upgrade to a T4 in the future). I am going to be running on a 2s4p 8000mah LI-PO most of the time but I may get a 3s 11.1v in the future. Can the 5300 run safely on the 3s with it's higher KV?

I'm going to be racing with the 2s LI-PO. I am worried that the 4200 won't have enough power on 7.4v. I know the 5300 will be plenty powerful on 2s.

As for the controller. I'm thinking of getting the 8012, Is it worth the extra 30 bucks for the 120 amp over the 80amp? I don't want any heat issues running 20 minute mains competing againts Nitros, will the 80 amp be enough for these setups?

Thanks:)
