I still run the 1200xl to this day without problems, on 5s lipo. I used the standard JB weld , not the quickweld and the standard will hold to 600* if heat

The std jb is much better than the kwik.

You do need to let it cure for 24hrs or so, but it is near indestructible then...

Thanks linc, I forgot about the 24hour waiting period

Well, this will be an ultimate test for jb weld. The threads were toast, so after applying the jb weld instead of screwing the endbell back on, I just "popped" it baack in with a hammer blow. Thats a 2 pound motor hanging on with nothing but an adhesive! I plan on cartwheeling at about 60mph, so we'll see........
