So, you are going to a higher kv motor and back to the gearing that worked well. What kind of speed are you expecting?

I know, I am lazy, I could plug it into the speedcalc, but I am sure that you have already done that.

4S with the new motor will top out right at 30mph, but on 6S will go up to 45mph.

This all depends on temps of course. Perhaps 5S will be the sweet spot at 38mph.

This setup really has some good acceleration. Makes for a fun basher.

5s sounds good, I may have to try out the higher kv axi. I will do some more testing with the hacker 15l befoer that though!

Well the AXI 2826/8 motor came in. I got it installed.

Took it outside to try it, and I can't tell anything really. It's been storming ice here for the past two days. My dirt mounds are hard as a rock and all the maxx wants to do is spin and throw ice chunks around.

On the brighter side, it does appear to be alot more aggressive with this motor. It's going to power it really good. The only thing I'm curious about is motor temps.

@Linc,

Where did you get those heat sinks you had attached to the Monster Pro I got from you? What did you glue them with?

I'm thinking about installing a square heat sink over the open mounting hole in the motor plate, then attach a 25mm fan to it. This will help with temps in the motor AND clutch department at the cost of only .5 oz.

That esc actually came to me with the heatsink on it. I found some similar on ebay. Those had a sticky thermal pad, which is porbably worthless. I would say some arctic silver would do the job for sticking the heatsink to the motor mount.

Are you running the cooling fan on the axi? Is it getting too hot?

Yes I'm running the cooling fan on the motor.

I'm not worried about temps with 4S, but I would rather prepare to keep temps under control on 6S. It's gonna kick butt. My 6S battery setup is 5000mah, 20C and weighs 14.2oz. With 6S, the motor will be carrying more of a load.

The fan pulls air through the windings, which on the 8 turn, there seems to be a greater amount of air moving. The stator poles aren't quite so full is my guess as to why, plus the higher rpm's.

The fan takes care of endbell temps and the surface of the windings, the rest of the heat goes out through the motor bearing holder and into the mounting plate.

I need to block off the other motor hole in the plate to keep dirt out of there anyway. Why not turn it into something good for the setup?

Do you run with the spur gear cover on? I never bother, as my body usually keep the bulk of the dust/grime out. Pluss I like to be able to see the gears.
