Ran the motor tonight, feels a little down on power. after 7 mins the motor hit 200f again. due to the size of the motor i cant gear down anymore than i am now. I might be able to go to a 18 or 19 but i don't think it will drop the temps enough to make them reasonable to run.

So now i need help with planning a new setup, I was thinking of a castle 1515 2200kv motor. using the setup calculator if i geared for 40mph on 6s the motor would be around 49k Rpm which seems really high. I'm pretty set on 6s as i have already purchased the battery

those older style 2 pole motors are not torquey enough and run hot and die fast
newer four pole in the right kv range will be much better 1900-2300kva

castle or red leopard seem to be reliable and good value

MG is a big truck with big wheels can you fit a larger spur for lower gear options?

It seems to have plenty of torque at 30mph 3/4 throttle i can still punch it and do wheelies. I went from a 52 to a 54t spur. I had to switch to the Robinson racing steel spur because i couldn't stop melting plastic spurs even with the slipper all the way tight
