If you have a bit more money, try a Medusa 60mm motor, or a 70mm when (and if) they come out. I'd get a Medusa 36-70-1500 when it is released. If you're wondering about the KV of the Medusa 70mm motors, they are the same as the 60mm motors. The ideal voltage for the 36-70-1500 would be 6s lipo. You'd want to run a MGM most likely, since the MMM is having so many failures. Or, if you're confident in your soldering skills, you could get a MMM and disable the BEC. If you were getting a MGM, get either a 22418 or a 16024. I've been hearing that the 16018 has been having problems with 6s. If you want to run 4s, get a Medusa 36-70-2000. You could run a MM ESC or if you want to stick with MGM, try a 9012. I'm only recommending MGM because I'm assuming you're in Germany. There's higher quality options, but Medusa is the best bang for the buck, IMO. Hope this clears a few things up for you.
