Savage on 6s which motor, 10XL or KB45 8XL???

[tashpop]

one thing about the kb's i'm kindof learning about is some of them have a balancing issue according to the folks at rumrunner forums. i haven't really noticed this much from mine, but i do know my bearings are due for replacing. i'm going to pick up the high speed bearings sold at off shore electrics.

I think there was a bad batch that had balance issues a while back mine included but I am pretty sure that has been resolved , I had mine dynamically balanced . was smooth as silk after . I turned two shafts down in my lathe for RRR KB owners and both there motors were very smooth also

Well I decided to go with the KB45 8XL 1700kv with my 6s lipo and turnigy 100 amp HV esc. I hope it runs good as the turnigy esc is supposed to be pretty cog proof and I am still under 40,000 rpms.

I havent decided which will be easier drill a new hole in my savage motor mount or remove the KB45 end bell and drill and tap a new hole. I am leaning towards drilling and tapping.
