This thread isn't discussing the Mamba Max.

The Peak/Orion motors will work flawlessly with the Tekin as both Kevin and I have proven.

I understand, it just wasn't relevant to the thread and consequently could be misleading.

Hello guys! I read in these posts that the speedo works fine without any bad issues, but in the Tekin forum you can read few bad stories. Anyway I got the speedo last week to race in 2008 4WD off road championship in Greece. Do you have any special suggestions for the motor type? I tested it with a stock 17x2 and was quite fascinated on the feeling. Reminded me of my old 411G2. Temperature got to 2nd led after 2 x 4200 batts played one after the other. I'm thinking to get a Vortex 5.5 or a Nosram 5.5 as I used last year (same motor for 2 championships on road and off road without any issues). What would you suggest?

As long as you use sintered motors you should be fine....

Thanks for your reply! Sintered eh? I also believe it should be fine for low motors i.e. 5.5. I'll go for the Vortex, little bit faster than Nosram and better looking!

Kevin Lee is the top man for off road using the Tekin's and he has been using 6.5 in 2wd and 4.5/5.5 in 4wd.
The main thing is too make sure they are sintered, there hasn't been any problems when running these.

definately sintered rotors, the harder you push this esc the better it works!

XAXA! That is exactly what I wanted to hear! I have got some really nice feedback from the speedo on my first test, but got a little bit anxious on what motor to select after reading a couple of posts. Let's hope that it will help me win this years championship also without any issues!

HB D4
Tekin R1 Pro
Vortex 5.5
Orion SHO
KO Low profile servo
Futaba 4PK?

Sounds like a winning combination! Let's see... next weekend is the first race of the championship in Greece. I'll keep you posted.

top man, you are more than willing to ask me, spenner or Kev Lee any questions, and if we can help, we more than will.

Make sure you order up the hotwire, the latest firmware is suppose to be sweeeeet, my hotwire is in transit as we speak, the software looks fab too!

Thanks again! I wish I could grab a plane and come race with you guys in England! I started rcing with electric off road in 1995 but had a big off until 2005. Now that this class is growing like crazy I think we will have a great time! Even retired from the touring class...

The Orion/Peak motors are sintered and are legal for national racing I use them and they are fantastic. The LRP/Nosram motors are not sintered unless you buy the 4.5 turn or lower or replace the rotor which then makes the motor illegal for national racing. I initially started out running LRP motors but since I made the switch I have never looked back!

You can actually change the rotors and they will be legal.... it is on the motor part for brca rules this year.
