2600 Kv rated motors? which one?

Just me two cents:

Feigao motors are a graet deal, comparing their performance to what they cost. For the average basher a properly setup MM and feigao will offer exactly what they want. The money saved can be used to buy better batteries (enerland cell based), which I highly suggest.

After some amount of time a feiago user will want to step up to a better motor. I am sure that the mega motor is more effecient and cooler running than a feigao. Plus it is most likely more powerful. I noticed the same thing when going to hacker motors, supposedly feigao are hacker clones. That is like comparing apples to oranges IMO. If you budget will allow for a better motor, buy it. If not go for the feigao motor, they work just fine.

I find the humor of your statement lutach. Saying that the mm gets hot due to the fact it is overrated is incorrect. The mgm has superior programming, in that it does not seem to mind what type of motor it runs. Same with the quark, save for a poor heatsink design. The mm is an excellent 2 pole motor contoller, and an amazing value. No doubt that the higher priced and rated escs will work better, however there is no need to buy a 300 esc to run a 2 pole motor on 4s, the mm works just fine for that. I have run mine on a 4 pole plett and had good results, but it is in a smaller/lighter vehicle.

Explain something to me. I ran the MGM 8012 which has no heatsink with the same set up I ran the MM and the MM thermaled a few times and the MGM didn't. Yes, it might be better software coming out of the MGM, but it has a rating that is 20A less then the MM and no heatsink. If someone is on a budget, then yes go with the Feigao and MM. I just wanted to help out in pointing a good efficient sytem.

Well, what kinfd of amp draw do you think your setup was pulling. I know that the mm is designed to spin a 2 pole motor, maybe that is what its rating refers to. Using a higher pole count motor seems to load the esc more, and may lower its ratings to suit. I feel it has alot to do with the programming. Quark and mgm got it right, for many different motors, while cc may have only tested their 2 pole motors (feigao-style) with it. I am sure that the meg/mgm setup would be alot better than the mm/feigao setup. But it is also nearly twice the price, which is revracers issue at the moment. I think it is good to start with a cheaper system to get used to brushless, and then graduate to a better system. That way if you destroy something due to assembly error it is cheaper. I still run feigao motors, but have gone to lower kv motors on more voltage, which the cheap motors seem to be more tolerant of. I guess that the lower amp draw thru the motor masks the ineffeceintcy of the feigao.
