What gears will I want to have with this, and does it run hot?

48 pitch I'm just going to tell you that this combo isn't that good is quick but you can't run a fan or anything with this esc just saying I would go to the traxxas veilon or tekin

It only runs hot if you put it in a vehicle over 5 pounds, but you can get fans for the motor and ESC to keep temps down. Also, if you put it in a vehicle over 5 pounds, gear it down, otherwise, it doesn't run hot at all. I recoment a 19t pinion and 86 spur if you have a 2wd.

For gearing it depends on what your doing. And the esc runs a little hot bashing hard on 2s.

It depends on the vehicle, what you want it to do and what battery you run it with.In my son's 2wd Stampede, I reused the original spur gear and went with a 13t, Traxxas pinion. Running on 3s 5400mAh Gens Ace hard case, it's run for about an hour and will be warm, but not burning hot. My kid is 7 and he's into heavy bashing, big air and back flips and the motor just takes the abuse.

Be Careful, they sell a model with plastic gears. If you are buying one, make sure the ad says METAL gears.

it should not get very hot or smell hot , make sure it matches old motors specs ie. amp draw ,horsepower, & correct voltage & rotation

Well you have to upgrade your pinion and spur gear then add a 3cell lipo and you can archive 60+ mph But i had to put a fan on both my esc and motor to keep them cool because the electronics overheat fast. But research the gear ratios online. Mine goes 63mph as far as i have tested. So much fun. Get a chassis t-bonevprotector tho. At that speed if u spinout u can break your chassis.

It depends on the gearing setup. I wanted mine at the lower end; it's running about 1 cycle per second. It goes up from there. The top end is probably around 50-75 cps.I found it to be very reliable and long lasting. I'm very pleased with the results of my application.Hope this helps.

Mamba max pro sct edition with the 2400kv motor is another option since you can run 3S batteries.You can try other gears like higher pinion..My 2WD is 19T and I went high as 26T.The spur is 83T.Get a temp gun and watch for temp of the motor.You can go 5700kv because 5700kv per volt is 1000 rpm.57,000 rpms..more top end or more torque at 2400kv.Change gears first to learn.

Look elsewhere! I'd consider a diff cover with integrated cooling fins first. Next, although much more spendy, would be a 12v pump feeding the gear lune through a small radiator with a fan similar to those used as add-on transmission coolers for towing. The viscosity of gear lube might be a bit high for the "average" 12v pump, though.

Not sure about the type of gears but it is certainly not a good unit as far as my experience.I had to send mine back within 2 days of receiving it and they basically sent it back to me still smelling of burned interior parts. I would not reccommend this product.

You don't need the cooler, Just have to weld shorter duration's. If doing long duration's, Then wise to have. Torch will get hot.

yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on the electrics. yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on... » Read More yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on the electrics. « Show Less

Yes it gets plenty hot. You shouldn't even need to turn it up much past medium for those two items.

Yes mine also got really hot. The engine had a non-related issue and is not running now but I assume it will still get hot.

I mean itll work but itll get hot fast. Different air paces sound different try and port it

Typical heat generated by a receiver. I think my Elite 94thx ran a little hotter. I've ran this in 2 channels up to 9.2 at reference level(aka LOUD) music and movies

I'd say it's more low/high heat. The whirring of the fan and engine motor didn't seem to register any differently. Though, I'd invest a bit more cash in a different brand/model.

i dont no for sure you would have to look at the tag on the motor an check the shaft size an mounting holes if there the same it should work .amps on the motor should not hurt anthing i went up alittle in amp draw no problem. used mine on my bixby it was a littie more powerful than what came with the stove an bulit alot stronger on the bearings i went 4originals to 1 of these still have the first one i put in the second one i bought is put aside for when an if the first one goes out . but that said it is a good motor an gear box. i hope that i helped alittle bit.

Hey man! yes you have the CPU, fan and thermal grease to set it up perfectly for standard cocking. Enjoy!
