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;)

Yes, i would go for the 6.5t, more than quick enough

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 :woot:

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 :thumbsup:

Thanks for the help guys.

Final question is what are the temps like compared to the x12

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 :thumbsup:
