i couldn't take waiting any longer, i had to see what this motor could do. i straped on a pair of 4s1p a123's for a test run. oh man i was so scared i got a bad motor. cogging like i've never seen before on the ground. in the air it was ultra smooth. anyway, after battling with my punch control and timing on the mm, i looked at the software. i still had 1.09 running even though i downloaded 1.17. simple update and she's smooth. i still get a little cogging reverse, but its very minor. just a little skip. would that go away if i increase it, its only 40% now i think. anyway back to the motor. its pretty powerful. i'm getting the same punch off the line as i was getting with the feigao 10L when i tried 6s on it, so that impressive going down to 4s on this motor. after all this was up and going, i made one pass down the streed and my batteries dumped. i knew they didn't have much in them, but i'm hoping i can get a decent run before the sun goes down to look at my temps and power at a good charge. i can only charge at 4amps on that voltage so its taking a while.

still cogged on a good charge, looks like the mgm16018's going on there. it works good enough to drive, but i have difficult getting started when i'm in the grass on an incline, or if its rolling backwards.

Hey tash, 4s2p a123 is a bit low on voltage for this motor in a truggy. I would go up to 5s for the mm, or 6s if you can (with the mgm). You could go up to 7s a123 if you wanted to, this motor can handle the higher rpm. I run my c50 15l in a new emaxx on 5s lipo thru a 125b quark. I have an 8l c50 in a buggy that I run 4s on! It spins up near 50k rpm, but does not get hot, and it has some serious power too! These are some realy good motors, wish i could get my hands on an xl c50, but I have a self imposed limit of 125 per motor. Kind of rules out the expensive stuff.

Just for a laugh, I got the c50 8l and a feiago 14xl for 125. The guy had no idea what wind the c50 was as it did not have a sticker. So I got a deal!

yeah, i knew i was spinning the motor slow, but i didn't want to push the mm. i however now have my mgm in there which makes 6s lipo easy. i don't plan at all keeping the a123's in this guy because i'm thinking lighter weight. i've already ordered my lipos, so i may have to get some 2s packs to make them 6s
