i would get a KB45 motor before i'd get the hobbywing motor. the 30mm bolt pattern is the only real downside. grinding the shaft down to 5mm is very easy with a dremel. i had a custom motor mount made for my savage to use KB motors. i only managed to get a 10 min test run on 3s with my 1400kv L sized KB motor until my esc died. the motor temped at 115F after going full throttle (which was about 15mph) for most of the run.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
