My Stampede 4x4, with datalog of the Castle 3800

So, I ran 13/54 on 3s. It's really to much for the ESC. I had temps get up to around 150, with an ambient of 40, so issues were only a warm up away. But before I geared down, I tried to test the speed today, it wouldn't let me hit full throttle . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pzwnOfRV5A Before sending a broken wheel flying anyway.

This motor is an absolute beast.

OK, pretty sure I am running 14/58 on my 2wd pede. And I run 3s. You have a bit more reduction in your diffs vs my trans (2.72 for a pede 2wd trans vs 2.85 revo spec diff) but it is very close. I got high temos with alot of loose surface spinning but get better temps with higher traction surfaces. Must be keeping the motor loaded and in the sweet spot rpm range?

Anyways, I have a spare MM so I plan to swap it in. Pity the sidewinder sc won't do 4s as I have a very light 2wd tc that I would like to run a 1406 2y on 4s...
