i ran the rx8 with the 4pole redline 540sct 3300kv motor in mine,i ran it for over 20mins,the heat read out never went over 3,it goes up to 10,someone i know runs a 550 motor 5.5 on a normal 1/10 spec speedo and struggled to do 6 mins before it shut down,

you dont need the rx8 but its top notch and you can be asured it wont let you downthe combo was super smooth but still quick

Thrashing the car for photos I managed to melt the wires on my 10th ESC in around 30 seconds from cold. I wish that were an exaggeration, as I had to drive home 45 minutes to re-solder.

I have used the RX8 since then and never had a problem even with no fan (I broke it!). I've run both Tekin 540 motors and the older 550 Tekin SCT motor, not the new 4 pole. I think I prefered the 540 motors as they were lighter and less powerful which made it easier for my poor skills.
I won the opening round of the 2011 Short Course national series with an RX8 and Tekin redline 6.5 540 motor.
