As for the motor, IMO you are looking too far into it. Most of the 380 motors in question are 2-pole Feigao clones anyway. The Castle 26mm might be a little better quality and efficiency, and they are on sale for $25 right now, so if you really don't want a VXL that might be a decent choice. They have 4600kv and 6800kv. But if you run the 6800kv on 3S it is probably going to get hot, and maybe fry anyway.

Look at what people in the thread are saying. So far 6 people have suggested that the stock VXL motor is just fine for the application.
