Thanks.
I have read a little on the Tekin combo on here,there seams to be a problem with the rotors on the motor,does anyone know if these are ok now ?.

Also i've read on UK forums that some of the CC ESC can go up in flames,is that correct.

Cheers Ross

keep in mind people will post a topic probably when something has gone bad. i bet many people have bought the combo and have had no issues (i did). And these people wont open a topic here saying my motor works great. Don't bother, both are awesome.

Yeah very true. Just a quick one,if i'm to go for a lower Kv rating

will that give me more torque,if so will i lose a lot of top speed.

The Tekin rotors apparently did have problems at first, but all are fine now.

Any ESC can go up in flames if run incorrectly, or maybe just a bad component.

Ok,what about the Kv,if i lower it,does it affect top speed,i don't need fast top end,looking at what other people have geared truggys for racing, i would say around 40mph.
