BL Revo using Revo Transmission?

[BrianG]

Well, my 10XL in my Revo is gone. I tried to race it in a Truggy class this weekend and right off the bat it had very little power (compared to last year). After only about 1 minute of running it, I took it out of the race and the motor was HOT, but the ESC and batts were just fine. It wasn't going very fast at all and had zero punch. I don't know what happened, but am going to replace it with a 9XL, which should be a little better on 14 cells, yet ready for 5s lipo. When I took the motor apart, the windings looked a little blackened and crisp. I have no idea when that would have happened as I'm quite paranoid when it comes to heat. Oh well; good thing it's a cheap motor. :)

I was thinking of running a Neu on it, but I don't think a finned one will fit on Mike's motor mount. I know the finned or non-finned Neu won't be able to use the rear motor support feature. And, the smooth Neus can't use the RCM heatsink. Poo.
