How hot can you run the cms 36-9000

[dirt101]

motors get hot when under no load. the 9000 wasnt really the best choice for a slash, but castle recomends keeping them under 200. I say keep it under 180 and you should be fine.

Brushless motors don't take kindly to light loads. Brushed motors don't like really heavy loads. I believe CC uses unloaded ratings, so at least if you run it on the bench you aren't getting ~11000 kV, or something equally rediculous, which would make it much easier to over-rev the motor.

I hope you have some good packs to run that motor with. 9000 kV is gonna draw a huge spike of current when it starts up. If your packs aren't up to snuff then it's going to feel sluggish. If you decide to keep that setup in the Slash, adding another capacitor or two to the MM will help.
