Fantasm super single build

So with a 1800kv you are thinking 6-7s Travis?

It's 1200kv. That was someone else posting a 1800kv tp motor. I'm running it on 8s to get it lined out. Then bump it to 9s and then 10s. I was told the bearings are the first thing to go in these motors so I bought a set of ceramics that are rated to 50k rpm even tho I'm not going to turn it that high.

I dont have a tp motor! lol. you no pay attention? I have a sss motor, Its from tfl (same makers of fightercat). I bought them off ebay. Pulled motor apart, got the number off them and did a search for ceramics in that number. Now...Pay attention! LOL :) (rearwheelin has the tp motor)

Fightercat sold TP and Suppo motors, not TFL. They sell some TFL parts, but TFL is't the makers of Fightercat.

Ok I pulled mine apart this is what's inside

I put same makers of fightercat....not fightercat is the maker. Tfl makes fightercat hulls, hardware etc...no? I never said tfl makes the fightercat motors....but tfl does make THIS motor. My whole point was to assoiciate the motor with a comapny that people recognize. People recognize fightercat, right? Tfl makes most of fightercats stuff, right? So people would know its not just a fly by night compant who made the sss motor.

do you guys get the ones with grease ,oil, or nothing?

I usually get the Ceramic Lightning ABEC 5, these have grease and require a little breakin period then they're good to go. To order go to the RC Car section and either order by application or measure them and order by size.

And so just for curiosity, anyone got a idea how to do the 'break in period'? I just put them in my twin Fantasm and just did a couple small prop lower rpm runs.
