My BL MQ SE

The search I did came up with a motor esc combo that listed the motor kv at like 1290 or something close to that and I couldn't imagine it being all that fast, once I saw it was a 4100kv motor I relized what you are trying to control! Thats a big fast motor Dude! does the stock mmotor mount work? I saw one for 540 sized motors on ebay once.

It mounts in the stock motor mount like a glove. I just had to shave down the small chassis brace that's behind the servo a bit because of the length of the motor. I also went with a smaller cased servo for that same reason as well.

Almost 2 full battery packs through it and only have a broken body post to show for it. I haven't even had to install my aluminum knuckles yet, but I haven't cartwheeled it very much yet...only a couple of times.

Are you able to use bigger pinions or are you limited to only one size? My MLST with a 28mm diamete motor can only accept 27T pinion with a 54T spur.

I'm running a 19T pinion (45T spur) on it right now and could go probably down to a 15T or up to a 23T if need be. It's got a decent amount of adjustability.

That is cool. Are you planning on trying a 23T just to see what it does .

Lutach,

I have a Recoil with a Hyperion Y-22 6000kv motor in it and it's insane. Running on 3s is about all one can handle on a race course. My ESC is capable of 4s, but I haven't tried any "seriously insane" speed runs yet, despite having a wide open area. Temps are so-so.. I put a fan next to the motor and used the heatsink that came with the brushed motor in the kit to keep things in check.

I don't have the Recoil yet. I was trying to see if someone could fit a 28mm motor in them and I know they can as I saw a guy with one in rctech. I do have the YC22-5000 in my MLST and a esc that is 6S capable . I will use the Sidewinder though with the Recoil.

They do get crazy at those speeds. My roof is darn near wore through all the way across the back from high speed wheelies showing off on 3s(trying to get to full throttle) with the 16/15/3. I thought it was close to 45mph but a check on the speed calc put me in the high 30's also, looked terribly fast.

Putting 300+watts through the drive train was taking a toll on it though. About a dozen packs and the rear out drives were looking pretty beat.

I switched mine over to 2s 1100mah A123's this weekend and just dropped in a 3400kv outrunner tonight to make up for lost voltage from the 2s lipo. Probably will run mid 20's now which is fast enough and dosen't tear up the drive train so much.

Suns up I gotta go try out this outrunner:)
