But much cheaper. Im liking those- about £25 for a motor more than twice as powerful as a hvmaxx... What are your thoughts/experience of them- I think the 2000kv item looks right for my needs, maybe on 14 cells? I will haveto get some 5mm bore pinions, and have a poke with the gearing calculator...

EDIT: I wouldnt be against trying some normal or other hybrid outrunners either, I just dont have that much experience with calcualting which ones have enough torque for my application. Since Im using the old gmaxx style motor mount, motor diameter is not a limiting factor- I can always fab up a new motor mount part if it is larger than 25mm spacing for the mounting screws. Only thing to bear in mind is that I have 6 sets 7 cell packs, so the kv/voltage range of the motor & esc could be a potential issue sometimes.
