What is an XLT-4 anyway? I don't see how he can publish a spec like 2hp either. What the motor can put out is going to be limited to what the batteries are capable of. I'll bet that CF won't even give you a kv rating on the motor. I'll bet it's some high kv piece of crap that will have trouble surviving a 5 minute race without over heating. If you want to go inexpensive, just get an appropriate Feigao motor. The Nue is arguably the best motor out right now, from what I've read. I'm still running Feigaos. They are so cheap that I can lay off of them.
