So the Ripper burnt out a few months ago and the xerun 4274sd burnt out last week with no warning whatsover (always ran in reasonable temps too). I need a new motor, and I need it too last!

I mainly use 4s but I would like to convert to a truggy later on and use 6s with the same motor.

What do you all think about the castle creations 1515 2200kv motor? (the one that comes in a e-revo brushless). I heard lots of horror stories of castle esc but the motors look promising.

Another option is a Tekin T8 Motor (though I wont be able to use the sensored ability with my esc), it costs less than the castle by $15

I was going to get Tenshock but I can;t find a truggy sized motor that doesn't cost $150, and I like how tekin and castle have good warranty, makes me feel safer<br type="_moz" />

I love them. Really. That's what I'm running in my Xray truggy. Brilliant motor, cool runner, much more efficient than the Chinese ones, and built to last. Its a madman on 6S, but you'll need to be vigilant with temps on 6S or put the stock 12T pinion back on (if you changed).

The Tekin truggy motors are supposed to be good, but I have no first hand experience.

(pardon hijack)
Hey Foxy, is the Thunder Tiger ST4 G3 the same as the MT4 G3, just a stadium truck body on it?

Foxy

No, its a downgraded version. I forget what the exact differences are, apart from the fact the st4 only has a 4S ESC.

The St4 is the same as the mt4 except
-80a esc instead of mt4's 150a esc
-truggy wheels and tires
-truggy shell
-truggy wing and wing assembly instead of wheelie bar
-1mm thinner shock towers
-plastic bodied shocks instead of the mt4 aluminium ones


Thanks foxy, I think I am going to get the castle as it also looks more weatherproof. I plan to use 12t pinion gear

When I convert to truggy, I will get a 6s battery and 3.8 badlands tires (15mm less diameter than stock) and remain stock 12t pinion. This should allow the 2200kv motor to stay cool under 6s power
