Suitable kv's for a Vendetta on 2S ?

I am thinking of trying the medusa 28-32-4200V2. They seem to be good (powerful) motors. You can gear up for higher top speeds, and use the lower gear for long runtimes. With the castle or quark esc.

You might only be able to fit a 16 or 17T pinion if you go with the 28mm diameter motors, but it should be fine.

good budget motor is a feigao 280 series motor, something like 3000-3500 kv would give you decent speed on 2s, plus the motor has a 2.3 mm shaft, so the stock pinions will work. The mamba 25 motors have 2mm shaft, and are not strong enough for the detta's gearing. I have used both a quark 33 and mamba 25 on my minis and prefer the quark.
