It does reasonably well in my hyper8. I have that motor and the 1600 kv version. I will say that some sort of heatsink is a good idea. I plan to gear the 1600kv motor down and run it on 6s.

Although most seem to think that a 40k rpm max is a good idea, higher end motors seem to work well closer to 50k rpm. I have run a variety of motors that high. Usually 3000kv plus motors on 4s. Hacker c50 8l, Hacker c50 maxx, plett maxx with and w/o fans, nd a few others. Feigao motors do not like over about 35k rpms. I have a few more motors that I plan to use on 4s that will stay around 50k rpm max...

You should be ok with the 1500kv on 6s...
