I wouldnt count on it....I hated the VXL ESC, I broke the connectors off of the ESC the first time I ran it, went to MM and never looked back

Has an overvoltage and wont let you use anything past 3s.

Lots Vassmar has a MM7700 on 5s in his TC4 which is well over 100k rpm.

Maybe for a little while before it conks out, but that's definitely over its rated limit (if it's rated at the same RPM limit as most feigaos). It's got a larger diameter rotor than a CMS motor, so you'd definitely be pushing the envelope running that motor that fast. Current draw would be hell too at the voltage required to get the motor up to around 65k RPM.

That's "only" a possible exploded rotor... Feigao rotors suck; I already had a 20x45mm feigao's rotor go boom on me running 3s in my Trinity NOW (stock setup from the factory at that too!).

Meh...

Physics doesn't care... It's not a kevlar or carbon fiber wrapped rotor, so I still say it'll crap out.

It may not do it immediately, but the forces are that much greater when you spin it a little under twice what it normally spins in the VXL setup (35k RPM vs. 65k RPM).

It becomes a question of "how much sooner" as opposed to "if". You can take the chance if you want though. Gotta post pictures once it does go kablooey though....hehehe.

I've seen a VXL rotor split allready. They are not high rpm motors. They are cheap for a reason.
