This motor is not really designed for 4S on a prop I think (it is stated as an EDF motor) - this is a good example of where a wattmeter is your best friend!!

I have a wattmeter, but I didn't bother to use it.    I tried this combination only based on reviews,  saying it could work on 4s & the aforementioned prop. As it happens, I've got one more of these 3200 kv motors - and will test it with the wattmeter tomorrow. I also have the 2350 kv version of this motor, it may be more suitable for 4s. Going back to 3s now, sounds so boring - lol.

EDIT : I just went out and tested it with the wattmeter. 5 sec static test shows 1095 W on 4S...    Dave, you were close. No wonder the other motor fried, lol. I managed to fit my Zippy 3s 4000 mah's in to the Sniper, they weigh only ~40 g more than the 4s Rhino 2350's. A rough guesstimate suggests around 700 W on 3S, should be fun enough - for now.... 

EDIT 2: I just tried it with 3S 4000 mah & 5x5 e prop. 8-10 mins of very fast fun, and neither the motor or the ESC got hot. Just slightly warmer than my hand. SWEET.
