TLDR: what is the max pinion that will fit in the SCT410(.1)?
Currently, my SCT410 has a Tekin Pro4 4600kv motor, 15t pinon, that I mostly run on 2s, as a basher. For track, with proper SCT tires, speed and temps are great. For bashing, with 2.2MT tires (badlands, not MX) the motor runs hot, 170f, and speed is a bit slower than I would like for bashing.
So, I am thinking of picking up a Castle 1415 2400kv to run on 3s. But with about half the KV, even with the added voltage, I feel I would need about 20T to have similar speed, and maybe 23t-25t to hit my target speed (or 4s). Looking at the mount, I feel a 20T would probably fit, but what if I need to go bigger?
For speed goals, I am looking at 45mph-ish on grass. My Arrma Granite runs about this fast (before tire ballooning gets out of control) and on grass, that is plenty of speed.
Will this work? Or should I wait for the new 1412 3200kv to come back in stock?
