I should of said front centre shaft, my bad.

That's down to the rubbish so called front chassis brace!!!!

Truggy flux or nitro? Have new ones for both.

[Sully]

It's the truggy flux.

What happened was, all 3 screws ripped out of the motor mount, motor ended up at 45 degrees and then pushed centre diff forward

That happened to me not long ago but I only had 2 screws in it and the mount snapped in half!!! Think it damaged the motor because it gets hotter quicker and when it gets to 70c it cogs badly on a 15T pinny! On closer inspection the rotor has a rubbed smooth area at the front so looks like something internal is expanding with heat. Gutted.

19? what are your temps? im running xerun 2000kv motor and 150 amp esc, my motor temps are around 50 degree c on the motor, 35 on the esc and 30-40 on battery which is a gens ace 5000mah 50c 14.8 lipo. I think a 19tooth would shoot my temps all the way up?

Im running a 17took pinny with the stock 50 spur btw.

Slightly off topic, but just been and picked a savage 25 up for a friend, spent 20mins trying to start the bugger back home, put it in the boot of the car and thought to myself....now I remember why I went electric!

Exactly the reason i went! no regrets, had more fun in the last 4 months in electric than the last 3 years in nitro. nitro gave me problems everytime i took it out, electic all the way!

He will be running on solid ground. That combination will be fine on asphalt/tarmac. Not a chance in hell on grass!!!!!!!!

I can run that on tarmac no probs. Drop 3-5 teeth for the field out the back!!!! Ground makes a big difference.

Also I use a 6s 5000mah 30c with a 1600kv and I can go 25mins on tarmac drop that to 10 on the field.
