When the new ESC's come out and I can go to a 6s it will be sick. The low KV of the 1940/10 is perfect too. I can say that I'm glad I didn't go with the 1950. Just my opinion, hope it helps someone though.

Could you give some more details on the performance and setup? I have a MM/4s (sometimes 5S) and a 8Xl. The setup and speed is good (tho crazy on 5S really) but I've been doing different bashing lately w/ alot of partial throttle and things are getting pretty hot.

I'm thinking about a new motor, but MM doesn't like the Neus, and the LMTs cost nearly as much as my Xbox360. :0 Considering a LMT/MM or possibly a Tekin ESC and a Neu (if they work together.) Looking to get a cool setup w/ 40 mph on 4S.

From my experience, if you want a cool setup, you'll need 5S for 40mph.
I found 4S is good for 30, maybe 35mph, for long runs.

Well, I'll do my best. Basically I have a CRT truggy with the MM esc, Lehner 1940/10 hi-amp motor, and a Hyperion 4s 4350. I'm running the Kyosho 44t spur and a 13t pinion. I don't know the top speed, but it seems close to 40. We run a smaller track though - not full 8th scale. Anyway, I can run my setup cool for just under 20 minutes before my battery dies. At full race scenario, my motor temp is 120 and the esc is about 130. I would agree about getting a cool running 40+ mph on 5s though. When a good esc comes out, my setup will be insane. I'm tempted to keep it 4s due to how awesome it is right now though.

Hope that helps you.

Thanks you two. The info was what I was looking for. It looks like that is the real deal w/ the ESCs. I would really like to just go to 6S when a capable controller w/ good CS+support comes along, and have 3S packs to share between my trucks. 50mph is fun, but its really too much for most things, so my hope is to go 5-6S and aim for ~low 40s and be extremely reliable and cool. Any chance a Feigao (~12XL) could do this as a stop gap? Relaistically I'll be upgrading in stages.

Sorry for the hijack.

No problem. And one other thing . . . when I first set up my system I had a 15t pinion and it was sick. Just too fast for a track. The motor and ESC were getting a little too hot for me so I went down to the 13t pinion. No problems since then, and it seems to work better for racing too. Just FYI.
