What esc are you using with it,fightercat????landmissle said:The 1717 and HW seems to be a good combo for me. With stock gearing and 7-1/2" tires i'm hitting 60 mph. I have limited space on my street so I'm thinking with more room it will go even faster. Batteries are 5000mah 20C. Motor temps are getting into the low 150's. ESC is under 120. Since I bought this used I have no idea what the ESC settings are. Ordered the programer from KD.
That's interesting and just what I was worried about. Baja front wheels are 185mm diameter vs 150mm for the stock which won't help the motor temps. Did you run a fan on the 1520? With that front bulkhead I am not sure how good the airflow is?jathomas3 said:While I'm waiting for a few things to get my XL2/5692 TP Power system installed I decided to put a Castle 1520 in to see how it does. The buggy has stock gearing and Baja front tires/wheels all around. Im running dual 3s 5000mah 40c packs in series and the performance is great. But the temps are quickly exceeding my comfort level. After a seven minute run through a mix of grass, dirt and asphalt the motor was 160F and the highest temp on the ESC was 172F. I really hope the XL2/5692 combo runs much cooler on 8s with similar performance. I'm planning to go 48/11 on the gearing with that setup.
