norcoforever Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I am torn between two motors for my D8TE i have narrowed it down to two choices. this will be for 6S running, probably matched to a hobbywing 150A esc http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leopard-Motor-Brushless-Inrunner-1600Kv-4-Pole-for-1-5-RC-Cars-/231280374688?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35d96273a0 or http://www.funshobby.com/index.php/powerplants/motor/tenshock-1-8-truggy-6-pole-sensor-car-motor-x812l.html the tenshock would be 1700kv the leopard 1600kv. which would you choose and why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeylcfc Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I would say the Tenshock, just because I have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I like the leopard motors never let me down yet with plenty of power and there a great price too, but i'd up the kv if it was me but that's just personal choice .. Only ever had one tenshock and it didn't for me anyway live up to all the hype sorry to say but i do know other guys that love them to bits.. I don't think in your circumstances thou either would be a bad buy so it may just come down to budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) I'd go for the tenshock x802l v2 2200kv...i got one my hyper....but its the truggy version as its got a longer can length over the buggy version....means more torque..and I run 6s aswell Edited September 6, 2014 by evssv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I'd look for a finned can, better heat dissipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnestah Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 This is a foolish & ridiculous reason why but the tenshock looks better. So that wins it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernst20 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 tenshock- more reliable have one in my fix viper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernst20 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 + I have had the problem that many people have with the leopard motors which is where the shaft becomes detached from the rotor, as the glue they usedin the factory was poor quality. Tenshock I have never had a problem with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
