lol, an XL is WAYYY too much motor for a Jato. About the only good thing about an XL motor on a jato would be to add weight in the rear end. The 4600 MM motor on 4s with decent gearing would be insane. Better get those tires duct-taped. :)

On 2s with the 4600 and tall gearing, I get ~45mph. It runs fine and temps are good too (much to my amazement really). Weight is around 4.5lbs IIRC loaded with 2s2p emoli. I'm thinking about redoing the battery and ESC/radio mount so I can use regular lipos for less weight.
