how hot of a motor can the rc10 classic take?

Trying to determine for the electronics of the car.

The manual states that is can take up to 8.5 turn brushless. They do not recommend anything lower for the 6 gear tranny.

The problem with the 6 gear is that you have to crank the diff nut down pretty tight so that it won't slip. I can't imagine the diff living long with a 8.5T. If I remember right, the mod motors of the day were 18-20 turn brushed.

Hi,

I wish someone had told me, about the 8.5 turn brushless limit.

I have been running my 6 gear with black idlers and RCCA bearing mod using a 6.5 turn brushless

setup on GT spec foam tires on the indoor track at the local hobby shop, no traction compound

though.

Cheers, Dave.

I ran 10-13 turn motors all the time in a 6 gear...with 6 cell NiMh batteries. Dirt oval

I have ran a traxxas VXL motor in a 6 gear recently...thing was ballistic. Had the diff locked though like Ryan said.

Saw the reference to 8.5t as the fastest recommended motor in the manual. Thanks guys

The car is a rocket with 8.5t using the recommended pinion of 18t

Hi,

I wish someone had told me, about the 8.5 turn brushless limit.

well, if you had read the manual, it is there in print. This was just a recommendation, if you choose to exceed it then fine! Its not a rule. The gears are not meant to explode at a certain rpm. Im really sorry you feel let down, perhaps a message to Team Associated would be more appropriate though, since they are the ones issuing the recommendation
