So I have installed and "tested" the Queens Hobbies 4274 1450kv I picked off ebay.. still needs fans for 4s use, at least during summer months. I am running 14/50 for gearing currently, runs good, cogs a bit on take off..especially after the motor got up to 190f..which took about 10 minutes in 80f ambient temps.
The motor I was running was a Tenshock 4274 2200kv with 10/50 gearing.. the current(new) setup has a little less "gitty up" and def less top end..however, the Tenshock has been measured over 200f more than once in the Kaiju. Tough "sum b" that Tenshock is!! Just dropped that into my Tekno MT48, still rips.
Maybe it's time for me to make the switch to 6s in the Kaiju? I know efficiency will be higher, so maybe temps will be easier to manage. Was thinking either a 4000mah 6s brick or perhaps 2x3s 4000's.. I feel the need to keep it on the lighter side. I've run 6s by using 2x3s 5200mah but, handling sucks IMO. The Kaiju wheelbase will always be a hindrance I know but I still want it to handle as good as possible. My bro has done some mods to his Maxx and is now kicking my Kaiju's butt with it.. can't have that!!
I feel though that overall, the lower kv motor is a success in the Kaiju as it definitely opens up gearing options as compared to the stock setup where there is literally nothing smaller than a 9t pinion available in mod1 and stock pinion being a 10t.
