PN Racing 43T BB - Thoughts?

[pieisgude]

Well, i'm in the process of building a Gen 1 that i've had sitting on a shelf for a few years. I've put in an AWD kit, swapped the connectors for Deans Micro Plugs and used AtomicMods SuperFlex wire. And i have 4562 FETs and a lithium ion battery set in the mail. What's your thoughts on this motor? Cause i bought it on a whim at a local hobby shop. Would a 2x2 stack be enough?

[proxmodder]

ya thatll be fine for that. i have a 2x2 gen1, lithium, and an atomic stock S motor

[reaper]

not with lithium no
50t is pusing it with liths and a 2x fet stack thats even without taking gearing into consideration

Well, i have the motor wires on as well as the stock 8 tooth pinion. Do i need to solder on capacitors or no? I bought 6 FETs so i can stack a 2x3 if needed. Never built an xmod to this extent so any help would be appreciated!

capacitors is good though not required.
looks good to go though, it'll run with a 2x2on Ni-MH, on lith, 2x3.

I never ended up getting lithiums, but i plan to do so in the coming week. The car runs great with just a 2x2 and non-rechargable AAAs. Very torquey! I'm considering gearing it down, especially if i go with lithiums.
