If only it was 159$.
Try adding 30-35$ shipping and another 20% fees and taxes.

Well, apart from the Lehner XL (1920 was excluded from the start because of it's price tag) every other motor is 4-Pole.
Lehner would be the only exception for a 2 pole motor.
The Plettenberg Extreme is from the HP220 line of motors and according to the Plettenberg website all HP220 are 6 or 4 pole motors.
The Neu 1409 and the CC 1410 are both 4 pole as well.

Castle ESCs are great, but not what I want in my 1/10th 2WD cars.
If I should start driving in competition (which is my goal) I need to use those efra cans and a sensored ESC. That leaves only the MMP.
That won't fit behind the battery in my SC10, I don't trust the BEC and an external BEC is out of the question in my 2WDs for several reasons.
Apart from that I want both my 2WDs to have the same ESC.
And there is no way I can fit that huge MMP into an Associated B4.
So at the moment I'm thinking Tekin RS Pro?
Don't know yet if it's able to handle 4 pole motors, but I guess it does.

Good to hear, will keep that in mind.

That's the goal. For now it's practice, practice and more practice.
So I need to be able to get serious runtime without having to worry about my motor catching fire all the time.

Sounds great, but I just can't imagine it. I mean, the Tekin Redlines are built similar to all the other roar/efra cans. So how is it possible that, after over an hour, it is ~86°F cooler than all the motors I tried (Speedpassion competition V3 13,5T, Hacker E40 13,5T, LRP X11 10,5T, LRP X12 13,5T) after ~20 minutes?

This sounds like something to keep in mind if I should eventually need to get a Redline for racing. Does that bigger rotor really make such a big, noticeable difference?

Well, shure, but I'd need all day to get arround the track as well.
Nah seriously, if it get's any slower then the X11 10.5T geared as is, I might as well stay at home, because it would bore me to death not being able to keep up with any one else.
To further clarify:
I want that motor for track practice and fun races that don't regulate what motor I can use. I'll get a roar/efra motor to use if required.
Thank's for your ideas so far, keep 'em coming
I also found this motor:
IN-RACING Afterburner 3650 - 3300 RD 3
Definately looks good on paper. Apart from the low recommended temperature of 60°C.
They used to sell rebadged Medusa motors. Don't know if they still do with Medusa being out of business. So no idea what that motor could be.
