1. helps the ESC run cool

2. increases torque

3. has more "natural" dead stick braking making it feel more like a brushed motor.

Because, when running 2wd on slippy dirt, it seems better to have less torque and less "natural" braking.
That's what Kurt Wenger says on rc10b4.com :

My Brushless setups:

Buggy-
Sphere Comp 2007
X11 7.5 turn
20/84
2-1-3-3

Truck-
Sphere Comp 2007 w/ heatsink
X11 6.5 turn
optional sintered rotor
18/87
2-1-0-1

4wd-
Sphere Comp 2007 w/ heatsink
X11 6.5 turn
optional sintered rotor
20/81
2-2-1-1

I normally run -10% throttle EXPO on all the cars. For even smoother bottom end I will go up to -15%.

Of course, on astro or on grass, the sintered should be better.

Gonna see about getting a brushless setup this or next week and it looks like its between the Novak and LRP. Anyone got any pics of how to mount the gtb without having to murder the shell

Go for the LRP mate it's awesome.

The novak fan is crap but just change with a Muchmore fan.

LRP also should have a heat sink and fan, but makes the customer buy one.

if its that good why does it need a fan (thats crap)?
and you do get a heatsink with lrp/nosram

[cabbynate]

Were did you get the optional sintered rotor for the X11?

[tc2k]

So, went to the LHS and im pretty much set on getting the original LRP Sphere with a 6.5t motor. Whats the view on the original sphere?

[NeilD]

Yes you do get a heatsink with the LRP.

The latest LRP has better hard/software. I don't know much about last years version but '07's is supposed to be far superior.

The sintered rotor is standard on the 4.5

make sure you gear it ok and have ventilation as they are prone to thermalling on hot days!

Thanks NeilD. Looks like I'll be looking to get a 4.5.......

[NeilD]

No worries, just gear it LOW!

For offroad? Its too fast, seriously. Is this for 2wd or 4wd?

The 5.5 goes like the wind.

You can also gear them to low.

[NeilD]

This is true, but i was meaning don't gear it as you would a brushed motor.
