The 1920 is fricken wicked. I don't see the need for a bigger motor than that. Its already overkill on 4S, I can't imagine needing to go up a size on the motor. Also, it stays really cool regardless. I put the huge mashers on, but didn't change the gearing. The temps really don't change. The amp draw went way up tho, and is putting out ~900W+,and top spd is faster. It still wheelies quite easily as well on the undersized 3S 2100. The motor is just smooth and powerful, but still controllable. I'm very happy w/ it.

In fact, it was driving it a bit Fri, I wheelied and flipped it going ~40.... holy road rash. It slid really far on the roof and actually ate all the way thru the antenna tube and sawed the antenna in half. Surprisingly the rx still works fine. I'll have to post a pic...

Hopefully my Neu 30C 2500 batts will be in next week (god they shipped slow...) It should easily do 60 on 4S, but I'll be mostly keeping it to 3S.

The mashers are funny on the little CRT. Like 40 series on a Revo. Tons of ground clearance and drives over everything. Cornering obviously suffers tho. Drives more like a MT. Have some buggy dirt hogs for going fast and bashing, but nothing beats the mashers for offroad.
