The 6XL will get hot quickly on 4S. There's really not much you can do about it other than gear down as much as possible or buy a new motor.

Also, the 3200kV Neu 1512 is really too high a kv for 4S IMO. I wouldn't go any higher than a 1512/1Y at 2750kv. However, I think a 1515/1Y is probably a better choice.

arrrgghh!!!tanks for the info lol my motor is brand newbut i want a top speed of around 45mph a 2700kv should be a great choice geared 20/68?????
should not overheating????my 2770 feigao get hot...the 2700kv neu does not do the same thing???

The Neu is a much more efficient motor and won't dissipate as much heat as the Feigao.

I've a Neu 1515 1Y for you Mike

[e-mike]

With the right gearing and 6s you should do it easily.

It is enough... you just have to gear up. I am at about 39mph with a 1700KV motor.

my vote is for the 2.5d on 6s I have the same set up for my Revo and I am very pleased with the results

I also run a 2.5D on 6s; awesome power and cool running.
