"To determine the appropriate choice for a brushless system, I turned to Mike Cronin of RC-Monster.com. Mike is that “source” I mentioned in the opening paragraph. I explained the project to him and anxiously awaited his recommendation. What he hooked me up with was the Quark Monster Pro ESC from Sky & Technology, the sensorless, brushless Feigao 8L motor and a pair of 8000mAh battery packs from MaxAmps."

I understand the rest of the setup, just not the 8L. The only thing I can think is that the budget was finite (aren't they all ;) ) and the writer was looking for for blistering speed to showcase in the article rather than long-term issues like system heat etc etc. The 9Ls already have a rep for running hot in MTs, so I can't imagine what the 8L would do, tho it would be a sight to behold while it was running. :030:

Compring to the other G2R that was in a magazine that had a 1950, I'm not thinking Mike is shorting the rec on the motor. Just curious what that conversation was. I also found it a bit amusing that the guy complained about not having a mount for the Rx, went and got a big square of CF, but left the stock dual servos. Spending that $ on a single servo would had been much better spent and left a much nicer and cleaner mount for the Rx or ESC, eh but to each his own.
