slash... best motor?

[rcsammy]

hopefully my 9L will be ok for a bit without one as mike is out of stock

Yeah, just watch the tail landings. I was giving it too much throttle and jumping nose high. Once the nose is up the damn body acts like a sail making it almost impossible to bring the nose down.

I shaved down the heatsink clamp to fit and pressed the 8l back together only to have the front bearing fall apart after 20ft. Like I said, I've abused this motor. But now I'm thinking of trying the Medusa 50mm.

found one i looked on a UK forum last night and a guy was selling one, unfortunatly its blue, i might de anodise it

edit: sorry this is a bit of a noob question but should i have my esc fan blowing onto the speed controller or blowing away?

Have it blowing down, and space it away from the esc heatsink about 1/4 inch for best results.

Now now, everyone is entitled to their opinions on the use of fans...



... but those opinions would be wrong if they aren't mine.

how much do i need to grind off the heatsink to get it to fit in the slash?
