if i were you, i would get a KB45-12l or 8xl motor. they are $40 and $55 and they are very impressive motors. i have both and they do not run hot. the 8xl is complete overkill, but the 12l is about equal in power to the CC/NEU motor. both motors run best on 6s. if your lipos are less than 25c, i reccomend the 12l since it draws MUCH less current than the 8xl. the 12l has peak amps of around 100a and the 8xl peaks at about 150a.

just get a cheap tranny on e-bay and make a custom mount for the motor. i went the lazy route and had kershaw designs make a mount for me.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
