Hi to all...
First of all as the title says i'm decided for the Mamba Max Pro ESC...
The big question is wath to do about the motor...

A: Get the combo ESC + 4600KV motor sensorless
B: Get only the ESC and buy a TEKIN Brushless Motor... but need one sensored...

First i know that sensored are more smooth... and sensorless are for the xtra power needed for high speed...
so Option A is for use with a CMS36-4600 Motor ([link=http://www.castlecreations.com/products/cms36-4600.html]cms36-4600 at castle[/link]) that comes with the Mamba Max Pro(i have already read somewhere that this motors tend to run HOT!!!)
and on the option B is not that much of diference in $$$ to get the MMPro ESC with a Tekin motor... but is in this place that i'm lost... On the TEAMTEKIN site they only show KV for sensorless motors ([link=http://www.teamtekin.com/blmotors.html]here[/link]) but on the sensored part of the page it shows just the Turns, but i need to know is how many turns do i need to get almost the same kv as my old velineon motor this one is a 3500KV so in tekin on the sensored part what motor should a pick... or even something about 4000KV would be fine...

Another question is about these tekin motor... are they that good? or maybe is better to get a novak motor with the same specs...

So i'm stuck... PLEASE HELP!!! LoL!!!

PS: i have found something on the net that gave me an idea... on the novak site...
something like 10.5T equals to 4200KV and 13.5T equals 3300KV... would this chart reflects every brusless motor? i mean any brand?

Or in another case... wath motor would you people recomend to use with the Mamba Max Pro ESC... to get the same results as the velineon 3500KV motor... or maybe a little more KV would be nice!!!

Thanks to all!!!

what vehicle is it going into?
and the velineon is 3500Kv I believe.

I've got the castle 4600Kv motor, works well in a slash, does run sort of warm, but dropping the gearing helps keep it cool. The shaft sheared off of mine, sent it to castle and they are sending me a new one.

is for a rustler vxl... well not vxl anymore... LoL...

The shaft sheared? i'm concern about that... did you secure the pinion nut tight enoughl?

A little more info....

No reason not to do the latter, you don't lose anything (only gain) with the sensored motor.
The MM Pro with the latest beta firmware has a working 'smart sense' mode that is fine, or you can run in full sensored mode. Honestly the green castle motors are not exactly the best motors out there, whatever tekin has is probably better.
