From that Iīm getting 40.55 mph (65.13 km/h)@3.7V per cell That is totally okay with me but the temps are trough the roof.... I donīt know If I cooked the 2350... It cogged like crazy in the end of the run, only from a complete standing tho so I donīt know what was wrong... I could run it in super slow "crawling" speed but it was as I said very coggy from a complete stand still...

I will try with my Neu/castle 2200Kv and see if the motor is dead, add a CC blower or just a computer fan and then we will then see If I need a 1520.....
it sounds to me like you cooked the motor unfortunately. i think either that 1515 1y 2200kv motor should work fine or maybe a 1518.

love the build! i am currently scavenging ebay right now to get some parts that i need thanks to a screw-up on my part. i tried to add some jb weld to the 14mm hexes in some of my older tires' hexes and mounted them with the non-dry jb weld in an attempt to get a tighter fit between the hex and the wheel. it worked for a little while until i broke a knuckle and realized that i had effectively jb welded the hex to the axle. now, i already have the new knuckles and am looking for cheap axles. i am also looking for new dogbones because those are worn out and need to be replaced anyway.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
