motor help
 

can any one suggest a decent motor to get.
I dont want to buy another lrp they just run to hot but I like the power of them so whats worth investing in

speed pashion seam to be very good and run much cooler.

The new HPI Pro Flux motors are only £51 on MB Models and are meant to be very fast.

I've got a spare tekin 5.5 that's what I use and never had any heat issuses what so ever and just as fast as a lrp x12 just a lot smoother

My orca runs cool and seems pretty powerful for a 8.5.
There £70 i think.

you absolutely cant go wrong in investing in the hpi pro flux motors,ive have 4 lrp x12s which i dont have any problems with as long as the gearing is correct,but they are too pricey against the hpi.
between me and a friend of mine we have bought 3 pro fluxs in as many weeks and cant fault,they are super fast and run as cool as a penguins todger.
very worthy motors at any level of racing.:thumbsup:

Cheers for the replys guys I will check them out my x12 thurmalled again last night and I was geared on a 17 pinion and everything switched down to 1 on the sxx so I think the motor is on its last legs. I managed to finish the final by using grahams computer fan to make the motor ice cold before I raced so I know its defo the motor playing up:cry:

Well under geared mate 6.5 21pinion 5.5 19 pinion

20t indoors with an x12 78 spur weasle

Motors can also overheat if they are under geared to much.

I'd defo look at the tekin stuff!

yea mate I know I normally run a 19 indoors and 21 outdoor but I thought it may have helped it but it was worse
