Motor choice

[KennyG]

Hey all! Looking to install a Tekin Pro4HD in my Yeti KIT. Haven't built it yet, so I am just planning ahead. Anyone know if it will fit?

[RichMTB01]

Yep, fits like a champ! I run that motor in two of my Yetis

I think everyone has come to the conclusion that the Holmes hobby 3500kv is the best motor for this rig and has the most power. It's also cheaper. I think it's the puller pro 540xl or some such. Don't get too caught up in the tekin hype.

The Tekin hype is there because it's proven. The Pro HD is a very good motor without a doubt. I have a 3000kv in my Yeti right now and have had great success & results since Sept. You can also get a Pro HD for the same price or less the HH motor. (143.00 & free shpg)

That being said I bought into the HH hype (just kidding, love JRH stuff) and just received my new 540XL today in the mail. I wanted to see what it's all about and I'm going to give it a try and give a real honest review compared to my Tekin HD.

I'm not a team driver, I sponsor myself like most and I'm sort of a "fanboy" of both products so it will be unbiased and truthful.

Sounds fair. Please take temps when you do the compare. I suspect that the HH Can be geared up as compared to the Tekin. Not that everyone would run it that way, but some like me certainly would. If the comparison is favorable I may pick one up. That said, I'm very happy with my 4065 leopard at 2700 geared to the moon.

I'd be interested to see this! I wound up buying the hh puller pro but would have probably bought the tekin earlier had they been available at the time. Both great motors from what I've seen and heard.

Fits like it belongs in here.

Just because Tekin may be more expensive then some does not mean it's all hype. They work and work really well for just about any application and are my go to. I run the pro4hd 3500 in my yeti and I have absolutely no reason to try anything else. I really doubt the Holmes motor is going to give me anything more then I already have.

I have a Novak 4pdh motor and works great. It is smooth at slow speeds and powerful racing.

1850 on 4S is a choice I like!

Id imagine you are running your 3000-3500kvs on 3s?

This is from Tekins site for the Pro4 HD
Input Voltage: 2S - 4300kV / 3500kV
3S - 3000kV / 2500kV / 1850kV
4S - 1850kV
And yes there are people who run them on more than recommended with no problems.

I am running my 3000 exclusively on 3s. Trail runs and U4 Racing.

[Rjohn929]

Yup, 3s on my 3500.
