lol, 140mph on 1s in a maxx, eh? Did they mention this was falling off a cliff?
After I posted this, I did some more research and it appears that the VXL is indeed an S motor; the 10s to be exact. Same turn count/kv, and is slotless 2 pole. Yup, a Feigao all right. Hmm, too bad too. I really like the solder tabs; would've made hookup much cleaner. Might contact Mike to see if he has just the motors. 3s 3300mAh lipos won't last a really long time and I'm not shooting for stupid speeds, so temps should be ok. I dunno. Why does Medusa have to have those stiff exit wires? Probably to make my life difficult...
And a Hacker is more than I want to spend for this project TBH, unless you can get one is really good condition (prefereably new) for ~$70-90.
