Help Me Choose a 12s Motor for 20+lbs savage

[Jahay]

nice one BG, but it didnt find any motors for my application :/

linc, i am not sure... but 12s may be too much. I could always just run and definitely be happy with 10s. Would mean that my truck stays lighter too, and it wouldnt stress the ESC either.

I was going to run 2x 3s lipos in the side battery boxes and a single 4s lipo in the rear tray, to make 10s. (i can fit up to 6s in the rear tray...all lipos are of 5000mah capacity too)

I could go for a 1000kv leopard motor

which is half the price or so of the 1527....

what do you think?

any other options of motors?

If that's the case, then it means there wasn't a motor in my database that had the kv and published power rating required for the setup. When you open the "motor recommendations" window, near the top it shows the recommended power range.

FYI: Since you are obviously shooting for high speeds, you can sort of ignore the fact the speed text is in red. Just try to keep motor rpms and rollout values green, or orange max.

After playing around with this tool, I can see a few ways to improve it. Looks like it's time for another update...
