SC10
Mod SC class, put the "CHEAPO" Speed Passion 17.5 motor in to race test. Used the Speed Passion 323 Stock program on the Speed Passion GT2.0 lpf esc. Set this to the default "Boosted" stock. Raced fine, lead most of the first qual, motor came off at 143 degrees after 6 minutes of racing!
Changed the spur from 81 tooth to a 78 tooth for the 2nd qual, last minute of qual seemed like 1. the battery was going flat, 2. the motor was HOT or 3. the esc was HOT. Battery was OK, motor was 167 and the esc wasn't over 100!!!! Changed the total boost from 36 degrees to 26 degrees.
MAIN
Power went flat two minutes into the 6 minute main!!! Still finished 4th! :-)

Will GEAR it back to the 81 spur, IF I race this motor again.
