I thought in another thread you said you tryed the ammo motors and they werent up to spec, and that you had to gear down alot or they got really hot......i dont want to down grade from a feiago, plus i dont know if the mount pattern is the same. Im gonna call mike and offshore electrics and see when is the soonest they will be getting some 9Ls instock.

im looking at the chart here and
9L= 2731 KV this puts me right at 33,000-35,000 rpms
all the ones near that are
6XL = 2779
7XL = 2382
10L = 2458
12s = 2958
13s = 2730

the XLs and S cans are the only ones instock so if they are not getting any L cans motors soon what would be my best bet, i assume the S cans would run much hotter than an L or XL because itd have to work harder in truck, so is an xl motor of the same KV like the 6XL over kill for a 5 pound truck?

Has anyone else tried an XL in a lightweight, how did it do?
