If it flies it certainly should be fun... but 260g is a lot of weight... can the funjet take it? should be especially fun!?! to get the CoG right with such a heavy motor. Make sure you make a youtube clip if you get it airbourne.
does anyone kno if the turnigy 60 amp esc is strong enough for this motor? i kno it says the motor max amps are 100 so i didnt kno if i need a 100 amp esc or that 100 amps is like when its under full throttle.
The reveiws for this show that it definately draws over 60amps max, but the turigy 60amp esc claims burst current upto 250 amp. So it should work, just a question of how long it will last. If you drive it hard and spend alot of time at full throttle, probably worth getting a HK 100 or 150 amp.
Yea too much on 4s, 3s is the limit 4000 x 12.6 = 50400RPM that is high enough just watch temps and play with gearing.
I run 2950KV on 4s www.link and my new setup will run 4s/5s/6s on a CC MM 2200KV motor and be beastly.
In the reviews is someone who mentions that he uses 4S with that motor. Voltage doesn't kill a motor (ok, virtuall spoken), amps do. Keep amps below manufacturer specs and you will be ok.
sure it can, you just have to watch out, that the motor doesnt get to hot. If it gets to hot (about 60 C are maximum) mount a smaller prop/pinion and try again.
the only thing you have to look at when you are using 4 cells is the amp draw. If it is below the rated value your fine. too much amp draw will cause too much heat and can burn the windings and kill the motor.
*CrashinDutchman Amps don't kill motors, watts do in the form of wasted heat. The key to pushing a motor over voltage spec (like running this on 4S) is to keep the overall WATTS under spec. If the motor is rated on 2S at 100A, then on 4S, it needs to be at 50A.....
Short answer is yes, it will handle 4S if you watch your temps.
Wanna get one of these or the 07L, for my slash. ATM, my 4600kv motor no matter how i gear it just gets too hot. i think a longer can will help my heating problems. I also plan to run this on 3s lipo, so dunno whether i should go this or the 07L...
They can handle 3s in a hyper mini ste, so yeah. Unless you are doing speed runs though there is no point in running 3s, it's uncontrollably fast. This motor on 2s will keep up with most 3s setups at the track.

I use this motor in a Traxxas Slash, with 22/86 gearing, and i get about 36mph, with all the torque i need. I use 4300 2cell zippy packs, and it draws about 52amps, and around 400 watts continuously. The motor also stays around 150-160 deg. F which is a decent temp. However on 3 cell lipo, this motor is insane in the slash, to much power for racing. Overall i am very happy with this motor, and plan on buying another one for back up.

Very silent and smooth running, high torque. Intalled it i a 1/10 truggy HI2111 Himoto/Hsp. 70 kph with 14 t pinion (drilled to 5 mm to fit) 74 amps peak 2s 4000mah 25c lipo on tar mac. No problems doing wheelies The EZ-run motors are weak compared to this motor. The only disadvantage is that you need a battery that can at least give 100 amps peak. But if you want the car to go fast there is no way around this, with any motor. My ez run kv4400 burned (overheated) always use heatzinks in cars or most motors will burn up

Got two of these motors for our 12 cell NiMH monohulls and found this set-up way too hot. Now it works in my 7 cell rigger, very smooth motor, needs to be cooled well, as it will get rather hot. One motor worked the rotor loose from the shaft, after some Loctite it spins like before. Good motor for it's price.

Tried this with 3 s in the HI2111 truggy and it's horrific. Nitrosuckers go kill yourself. Remember to put heatzink and fan on it though, the powerdraw is a 110 amps peak, normal cars motor don't stand a chance. This motor gives as much power as a car compention motor but only costs 1/5 of the money. The only snag is the 5 mm axle but if you have a 5mm drill this can be solved

Nice Motor very smooth but be aware its very amp hungry if used in any 90mm EDF in my Flyfly 90mmEDF on a 3S1P 11.1v 5Amp Lipo its pulling 125amps at 3/4 throttle for 1380watts
