I am using a cheapo $17 380 5100kv sized motor from himodel on 28T. On 3S lipo the top speed is just slightly lower than the 1/18 xcelorin 7400kv brushless motor with a 20T pinion. But the xcelorin motor overheats even with a fan. The cheapo 380 motor has much better acceleration (tons of it. my mlst can wheelie even a loose center diff). Although slower, I don't get heat problems anymore. The max temp haven't exceed 60c even in an ambient temp of 34C. I used a 35A ezrun brushless motor with it. So far no problem with the setup.
