Look for a Leopard 4082 1600kv & you can run 6S. They are sold from Hong Kong on ebay. Free postage too!

The larger the diameter & longer the can the more torque it will produce over a smaller size can with the same kv. So. don't just think a lower kv will improve things without taking into account the can diameter & length.

It is smooth canned & will fit a Losi mount.

I use this in my 1075mm Cat boat running twin 6S in parallel. It goes ok.

I like how you put that "it goes OK" 1:30 into the video and its screaming across the water! I've been looking into the leopard 4082 1600kv for my conversion. I have a castle 1520 but don't want to keep taking the motor out of my truggy to use it. I've heard good things about it so far

That motor doesn't look bad at all especially for the price. Would anyone here recommend sensored over sensorless or does it not really matter anymore?
