Yeah I guess it could be just a bad motor. Either way I ordered a leopard 1700kv and two 5s packs. I feel more confident this will get me where I want to be, reliably. I'll start with 440/3 or x442
well i destroyed my brand new tacon 3674 1900kv

That sucks, would have been nice to know if the motor just failed or over heated.
I got that same motor on the way so ill see how it runs, on 4s with a 1.14x42 prop.
Hope your new motor works out better for you.LST XXL-4074 Taco, Slash 4x4-3660 Taco, Appparition-3674 TacoComment

I think you had a bad motor... i just ran the tacon 3674 1900kv in my apparition yesterday, ran great. After 5 min of moderate throttle the motor was only at 105. Was running on 4s with a 42mm prop. I will push it harder later this week and see how temps are.LST XXL-4074 Taco, Slash 4x4-3660 Taco, Appparition-3674 TacoComment

Green can, they don't make a 3674 1900kv in the orange can. I believe my timing is at 30, thats if the menu tree for my esc is correct. According to the esc instructions timing of 1 is for high kv motors, you were running 3, that could have been an issue... But you have no temp data so we will never know... illupdate how mine does under hard throttle.LST XXL-4074 Taco, Slash 4x4-3660 Taco, Appparition-3674 TacoComment

Just wanted to chime in here too. I run an orange Tacon 3674 1300kv on 6s in my mean machine and it moves really well with a x642. I have yet to GPS it but its faster than my 32 Fighter Cat single which hit 45.3mph with a Castle 1512 1800kv on 4s. Temps are all around 90-100 degrees after a 4 minute (mostly full out) run in the Mean Machine, timing is set at 15. I like the Tacons as they have treated me well for the rock bottom price. Was thinking of putting the 1700 or 1900kv into the new Mystic and see how she goes.Go Fast...Turn Right...Comment

This thread sounds like an esc problem, but i believe you just got a bad motor, and it can and has happened to any brand...LST XXL-4074 Taco, Slash 4x4-3660 Taco, Appparition-3674 TacoComment
