4600 is waaaaayy to high kv for a pede. Get the lowest kv S can sized motor Mike has. I'd recommend around 2400kv but I doubt you're lucky enough to find anything that low. If he still has any 2400kv Lehner Basic XL then snatch it up. Whatever you do, don't waist your money on a mm motor. Even the 4600 is WAY too high rpm. Believe it or not, that 2400kv will have more power, have MUCH better run times, and run cooler. With those higher kv motors its like they are lugging every where they go. Don't even worry about those lower kv motors not being fast enough. My pede has a 2600kv in it and I clocked it at 60mph with 3cell, and still had plenty of power in reserve. The common misconception that pedes need a 4000+kv motor to be fast is a fricken myth and it needs its own sticky on the subject. Hey, you should see my little bros pede go that has 1200kv lehner basic xl on 3cell. It's not exactly a bullet, but it'll beat the waller out of a stock pede. And go for over an hour between battery changes.
