Default Tekin redline motors?

Are they worth a try. I run x12 and now I have an rs pro speedo ad considering matching esc and motor

I had a 5.5 in my B44.. It was a great motor, just insanely fast! When you check the Kv ratings it was equivalent to a 4 - 4.5 LRP! I'm on Speed passion now, they seem less aggressive.

So you'd suggest a 6.5t still if moving to tekin?

I'd check the Kv ratings and compare them to the lrp motors you run now

we have a 7.5 in the 22 - it's very quick with a rs pro pushing it along.

prior to that we had speed passion and and x12 7.5 in the car - the tekin combination blows the previous setup away - even on the mildest setting

6.5 for 4wd, 5.5 just is a little to meaty now, with the better lipo's and the new software.

I've had a 6.5 bolted in my Durango and a 7.5 bolted in my CR2 now for about a year and a half, only being taken out if needed for cleaning

they run cooler from my understanding, not run an X12, but been told that they do like a bit of heat.

I've had tekin motors, less aggressive than LRP's, nice and smooth, but if your hard on motors I would stick with the X12.

I drive very smooth with the x12 I've set it up to my style, maybe it's get on better with a less aggressive motor to improve laptimes

My experience is that they are very smooth, perfect for offroad.

I use 6.5 in 2wd and 4wd and never struggle for pace. They run pretty cool too.

We also have them in stock at a great price
