Time to make me feel like a newb
I am torn between a 3300kv pro4 and a redline gen2 13.5t.
If you would, please explain the difference. I see the pro4 getting used much more than the redline motors, so I am just wondering if there is a reason.
I know this:
*Pro4 has 5mm shaft/ 4 pole, 12slot design/ and is a touch bigger than the redline.
*Redline gen2 seems to be more race based? Couldn't find anything about the rotor or pole count.
I am not afraid to sped the money on the pro4, I just want justification that it is the best choice for the money. The only thing I can come up with is that the pro4 would be a little smoother, and would produce more torque. Dunno if I am even close to right or not.. But it's just what I was thinking.
Thanks in advance"thumbsup"

My Wraith is running that set-up, that is how I got it, and I'm not happy. I run a 3S and my gearing is 14:56. The speed is OK but when I need some torque it bogs down and then launches. Temps have always been good. I also have another one with a 6.5 and its way too fast. I'm going to eventually change one to a 13.5 and the other to a 10.5 with a bigger rotor (I have both already).

Out of those two choices I would definitely go with the pro4. The 2 pole redline won't have as much punch as I would want in a wraith. The redline isn't any more "race based" than the pro4. It's just for lighter 2wd classes and the pro4 is for heavier 4wd classes.
Makes sense. Thank you"thumbsup"
I would further suggest that you skip the Pro4 and go with a 3100 KV ROC412. I am loving this motor, it has replaced all of my Pro4's. It's very smooth, uses a nice standard 1/8" shaft and has all the punch I was used to in my Pro4.
Does it have close to the same speed however? After doing a little research that seems to be the one thing the ROC is lacking.
Its a 200 KV difference is all, I can't say I noticed the reduction at all. It had all the speed I needed for sure.

I just picked up a HH Torquemaster Pro 45t and I've got a 20t and 17t pinion with a 80 and 87t spur. What would you recommend with a 10,000mah 2s?

So running the HH 45t pro in my Wraith, should I run 80/17, 80/20, 87/17 or 87/20?
87/20 would be a decent start.

Hi guys first post here ,how are we all?
I used to have a RTR wraith which I sold and now I'm about to build the kit version ,I have a 21.5t hobbywing and a reedy sonic 17.5t
I will run stock gearing to start with 20/80
I have read through all 76 pages and still can't work out why but I just wanted to know
Which of these motors is close to the RTR speed on 2s?
Could you guys shed any light for me please

Looking to do a 6S setup just to have something different with my Wraith. I bash/trail with it and want speed that is a little bit faster than stock. Thinking a waterproofed Mamba Max Pro, Castle BEC, and Tekin Pro4 1400Kv would be ideal.
Run one 3S 5000mah up front and another in the stock location.
Worth a try or just stick with a 3S and Pro4 3300Kv?

pro 4 3300 on 3s geared 56-14 is pretty fast

What kind of runtime could I expect for mostly high throttle bashing?

I know its not the same motor, but i have recently bought a hobbywing xerun 3400kv 4 pole sensored, and with 56/14 on a 2s 5000mah battery, when i foff its giving me arround 45 minutes, if i bash in places that not require lots of uphills its lasting me longer, arround 1 hour and 15 minutes, about that, im thinking the pro 4 will last about the same because are equal kv and pole motors both 540 can too. I am very happy with this new set up, crawls great, and speed is good too, guess a 3s lipo will be the way to have more power... cheers.
Hi i bought this motor because of your tip, and im loving it. I paired with a mmpro esc, but im running 2s lipo 40c 5800ah and a venom hardcase 5000mah 50c. I am using 56/14 gearing. But what i would like to know is what are the settings you use on the mmpro for this motor. Sensored only, cheat mode on? What rpm range? Smart sense? What timing advance? I use this to crawl and to foff but i would like to have a litle more speed out of it without overheat the esc. Can you please share your configs? Or will i need a 120amp sensored esc constant, since mmpro is a 80amp constant with 120 amp burst and the esc that comes in this combo brings a 120amp constant and amazing 760 amp burst. Please let me know your experience. Thanks
