Yes it is a GREAT conversation. You bring things to the forefront that I haven't considered.
I would like to stick with the AXI motor because of the cooling fan that I've mounted to the rear of it. Hopefully, AXI will answer my email soon.
Even if I can just get a Delta wound 4130 that makes 700kv, it will outperform this 4120 since it's stator/magnets are 10mm longer. It will make more torque.
The Revo runs well. It's powerful and efficient. I'm happy with top speeds and even the low speed driveability. I just want some more torque with the same top speeds. Along with the extra torque will come more acceleration.
With the 4S 5000mah Lipos, RTR weight is 10lbs 3 ounces.
I think more outrunner power can be had on the 4S setup with a custom higher kv wind on the 4130 motor.
The 4130 motor would match the top speed of the 4120, possibly even more, if I had the ESC and Lipo's to put it on 8S to 10S. But even then, we are talking more weight.
I'm really considering going with the Quark 125 amp Monster Pro. I should see a performance improvement because of the increased current handling ability. It also has less resistence accross it's power board.
