Now I do realized that all of the rotor assemblies are the same, only the windings change to alter the kv in the various winds in a certain can length.

Wondering what the l length rotor would do to the kv rating of the c50 maxx? I can only imagine that it would be lower, due to the increased weight of the rotor. However it would have more magnetic strength than the shorter magnet on the original shaft.

So any info would be very helpful. I can always try it out and see, but it would be nice to have some info. Not too fond of blind testing!
I also have a few C50s and I changed the rotor of my C50-Maxx to a 5mm shaft from another C50. It's working good. I'll take some pictures tomorrow if you need them.
