Any idea on how I can get it up to 100 to 150mph? Plus I rebuilt the transmission with all HR parts like the seal differential. All harden still gears!

[@todd4freeusa]

The small plug is for the motor, it is a heat sensor. You don't have to use it but it helps to protect the motor from over gearing, like if you were trying to make a traxxas do 100mph or something. :)

for me, the sct combo is 150 aud, and the sc8 is 100 aud only for the esc. i was thinking of going for the castle combo and then upgrading my esc later. So what motor would go with the sc8 for under 200aud

[@benr4677]

Amistry20 I have my sc8 in a 2wd with the hobbywing ezrun 3660 4000kv. Great motor and I have even run it up to 4s lipo. Stays real cool and then you have everything waterproof. I think that should stay in your budget

[@amistry2092]

yes! i had changed my mind to that! i am definatly gonna go with the sc8 but with what motor would i get same speeds as velineon with? how fast does yours go?

[@benr4677]

you'll definitely get more speed out of the hobbywing combo. I dont own a velineon system but i do know that when people gear them up they often overheat or burn out easily, and thats on 3s. with my combo geared up on 4s, and keep in mind hobbywing does not say that the motor can take 4s, it stays very cool and i have no doubt that I could go at least 70mph maybe even 80-90mph or more with timing turned up and more gearing. Also if and when you want to go faster hobbywing makes several motors that are slightly larger and could handle some serious speeds, without totally breaking the bank. hope this helps!

[@amistry2092]

Nice, i was thinking of going with a tenshock sc401 or a castle 3800kv. I have heard some bad things about hobbywing motors getting quite hot, but if you can get those speeds, i might go with a hobbywing. Did you have to modifry the chasis/ drivertain to fit the motor?

[@feeterican]

Since I've been soldering wires and parts onto PCBs for 18+ years, and I developed an interesting way to solder wires without using a tool to hold the part or another wire. I wrap the solder around my index/pointer finger, then hold onto the wire using my thumb and middle finger. Then I feed in the solder that's wrapped around my pointer finger. It's just faster when you have to solder loads of product for a costumer. Now, the people I work with use the method, some find it easier and some people took a week or so to get the dexterity to feed the solder in smoothly. It does take practice and tolerance to the heat that travels up the wire. I've been doing it for so long I barely feel the heat anymore from holding caps and resistors in place while soldering the legs.
