I love the motor, tons of power (probably too much for such a lightweight rig). It gets over the rocks with no hesitation and the drag braking is great. The motor is a tad larger in diameter than a standard 540 brushed motor, so I had to shave a little bit of the Losi transmission to allow it to work.

The only concern I had was the lack of a flat spot on the motor shaft, but I haven't had any problems with the pinion slipping yet. If it does start to slip I will just make a flat spot on the shaft, not really a big issue to me. I modify stuff all the time to suite my needs, so I'm not too worried about it.

I also have a Revolver outrunner to try out. The revolver is a lot smaller than the Hyperion, but it's probably better suited to the rig.
