Pave, you should know that the problem is not the motor. These 4wd just need 3s or better for the kind of speed you want, I don't think any motor running the same speed on 2s will be any better. BTW...

Because that's about the limit on how many times you can answer , What tires should I run ? How do I go faster? What battery should I run? Are lipos going to burn my house down? My finger says the...

Neither of those will be good for your Pede, they are for the smaller vehicles.

As much as you'll hate to hear it, you'll probably be better off starting with a new vehicle, unless your plan is a...

They are basically the same thing, a capacitor, but the glitch buster is normally plugged into your receiver, to even out your voltage to it. But any high temp low esr cap, of appropriate voltage,...

Is there anyway you can compare apples to apples? Same vehicle, speed controllers, and geared for the same speed? I would guess the MMM Does a much better job delivering the bursts to them then the...

The torque delivered is the same as illustrated above.
The capable torque is the same, determined by rotor size and pole count, the higher kv motor just has to pull more amps to have equal motor...

CHEAT mode only works on sensored motors, with sensor only selected.

really the only thing that matters is the wattage handling of the motor. Whether the motor makes it's power through torque, or rpm's ( torque x rpm's = Hp = watts = amps x volts ) only matters to...

Correct. Castle's motor is a Neu designed clone of the actual Neu, so the RPM's on Castle's are not identical. But if you look at the 1512 motor's rating, and the 1415 motor's rating they are all...

Yeah, sounding like there is a motor problem.

Does it move if you give it a little push on start up? Was the rotor loose on the shaft on the one you removed?

First off a temp gun is a must. Everybody's fingers measure a little different. Your temp might be fine.
What batteries are you running?
I personally run 13/54 with 3s and the 2400 in mine.

The 2400 is a bigger rotored motor then the 2650, even though the can is smaller diameter. There is no reason the 2650 would draw more amps unless it was geared for a higher speed. For the same speed...

There's this thing called ripple current. I won't pretend to know enough about it to explain, but basically using a lipo that is dropping voltage under those heavy burst can strain the esc to the...

Glad to help. The amp draw on these things are frequently under estimated.

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd357/asheck30/charts/St4mp3800mmp1354trenchers159amp.jpg here's the 3800 pulling 160 amps , really it's more because my logger is only 150 amp, and anything above...

So your batteries are rated at 117, and you were probably pulling 175-200 amps, IMO your gearing is very high. 25 minutes in those batteries were probably real close to done so that's what I would...

Straight from Castle.

KV is used to match the rpm range of the motor, to the batteries being used. Torque is determined by rotor size and pole count of the motor, outside battery limitations.
...

Thank you, as do I your's and Baldy's, even though he can not stand to be corrected, because he knows everything :) If you were just a couple no bodies on here, I wouldn't bother, but IMO people...

Efficiency alone does not determine temperature, nor amps. It must be used in conjunction of the power the motor is making. Gearing higher absolutely creates more amp draw, this is beyond debate, :)...

.Here's a quote from Castle.

It was not to long ago when the Castle 5700 was 1 of the go to motors in these, and you never heard anyone say they had low torque, even with nihms. So what's wrong...

Obviously it confuses alot of people, I'll keep posting what's right, though, and if you or he can't follow along, send me a pm, I'll make sure you get it. Because giving people wrong information,...

When you gear higher, the motor draws more amps. When the motor draws more amps, it is making more torque. You then gear that torque to give you more speed. While the gearing to draw relationship is...

Torque is dependent on rotor size and gearing (load), the higher you are geared, the more torque the motor makes. The kv is used to match the efficiency range of the motor, to the voltage being used.
