Hiya Hardrider!

Nice to know some people run Schulze and LMT. I have 2 BASIC 5300's and 1 BASIC 4200 brushless by LMT. I think they're the best brushless sensorless motors. I run schulze's u-force 75's for all three motors. No doubt the footprints are big but the performance far outweighs the effects you get from them and furthermore these 2 companies work closely hand in hand and they manufacture their stuff themselves from scratch and where possible by hand too.

Setup wise, I usually over gear my buggies usuing a bigger pinion than I have too, at least 2 tooth's above the highest. ** 4200 = more torque, 5300 = more speed! .... You will want to do this cos if you dont, you;re not utilizing the full capabilitiy of LMT's they're very revy and tourquey but only when you can supply them enough power. So when you over gear, the motor will want to draw more current from the batt hence the ESC will grant the request resulting in crazy power. fooling the ESC in other words. But if you gear it just nice then the motor will just be 'relaxing' and not fully utilized power wise. Problem with schulze and LMT is that they stand up to any beating you throw without cooling needed! haha! :-P

Cheers
Matt
