Well, 36 NiMH cells are 50.4v right off the charger (assuming about 1.4v/cell), which is the same as 12s lipos. I think it should work.

Assuming the nominal lipo cell voltage of 3.7v, that's 44.4v total. You'd need a motor with a kv of 946 or less.

Not even a LMT 1950/10 goes that low. If it gets too hard to find a inrunner, why not try an outrunner type motor? Those tend to have lower kvs...
