It was frickin awesome till it died.

Was it cogging at all?

That's a bummer. Do you think you got a dud?

Some people have had luck with the KB's, some haven't.

I'm hoping to be one of the ones that do.

I think we'll start with 5S and closely watch temps. The Castle Blower would be a good addition, but I don't think there's room. LOL

I could drop back to a 46 tooth spur. That might help temps also.

We'll see how it does.

It's pretty cold out, so maybe it won't go poof.

No cogging whatsoever. The smallest blip of the throttle ended in a backflip on grass. Throttle control was paramount!

I was just dumb about it. After 1 min of running I felt the motor and it wasn't too hot. I should have been watching temps better. Then I handed the controller to my son and told him to give 'er hell. He's a natural behind the remote. I didn't check temps again and it just gave out.

I had read that you really needed to load the motor and the only pinion I had resulted in the formentioned 60mph gearing, I just went with it. My own stupidity.

I hope you have good luck with yours. It was insane power until it died.
