Went to FZRC 5/21 to test and tune the SC10 and T4.
SC10
Changed the motor system to 19 turn brush motor, wanted to see how well a brush motor would work in Stock SC. Gear it right and it's SWEEEET! Gear it wrong and you fry a motor!!! Motor temp was 140 after six minutes of testing so I'm good. 160 temp is the max after five minutes if you want your motor to live!!!
T4
Put the Castle Sidewinder ESC and Speed Passion 10.5 motor in and after 8 minutes of testing motor temp was 138 VERY SWEEEET!!!

Decided to test/tune the "Make a RC Wish" Rustler. We try to race test every RC we give away. This has a Traxxas XL5 esc and a "handout" stock (27 turn) race motor. After 6 minutes of testing motor temp was 167, changed the motor pinion from a 21 tooth to a 20 tooth and the motor temp went to 186!!!!!!!! Was going to change to a 22, BUT as I was driving to the pits I hit a post and broke some of the steering parts! :-(

Looking GOOD for a visit to FIRCC Friday 5/27 for some carpet off-road!
