New motor for e-jato - 01.11.2010, 05:05 PM

Ok, so I've been using the CC 4600 in my e-jato for a while now and it works ok. But now that I'm running 3s and 4s, I'd like to get a motor with a little lower kv so that I don't have to go down to a 1T pinion.

This is an old truck, so I don't want to throw a ton of cash into it, which leaves Neu out. I've been eyeballing a VXL motor, but since it is a Feigao, I'm not sure if it will be a step-up efficiency-wise. Not looking for crazy speeds (but should allow it if I feel like blowing money on broken parts, lol).

I've also been looking at some of the Tekin Redline motors. These motors are ~50mm long which would be perfect as there is not much space considering where I mounted the ESC (and I don't want to re-do the layout yet again). I have a few spare MMPros laying around so I was thinking of getting a sensored motor. However, the Tekin sensored motors use smaller rotors to be inline with ROAR. I'd really like the larger sensorless rotor on the sensored motor.

The layout precludes using a Medusa even if I could find one since the wires exit the back.

Ideas? I really wish CC would build CC/Neu motors in the S form factor. Would meet my price and quality guidelines.
