I'm also considering which BL motor to get for a Revo with the MM ESC. Does anyone know if the Novak HV 6.5 would run well on the MM even though it is sensored motor (I assume it would run as any other sensorless motor, right?) :neutral: . It would probably be plenty peppy on 4s lipo, with good runtimes too.

How about the XLT1 from Fine Design. Use a HV heatsink and Chris will guarantee the motor ends to not pop off.

I run it in my 13lb. aftershock and it's great with the MM.

I'm not gonna get started on Chris Fine, but that is nothing but a Wanderer motor he rebadged. Ever try and ask him the KV? I would never recommend Fine Design...

from what ive heard, i will never buy from them. ever. :gasp: id rather buy from untied hobbies. $50 for a XL 540 feigao. i think thats good!

Who else sells Feigao besides Mike and United?

there is no one else:lol:

mike is the man!

mike is the man, but I needed my motor quick so I ordered from offshoreelectrics
because they are only a couple of states away from me.

Thanks dirt!

Mike is across the whole country from me, and I get everything I order from him within 2 to 3 days. :yes:

So no one knows about running Novak HV6.5 on mamba? Also, I think that Novak HV heatsink would be sweet if it would keep the motor caps from popping off a feigao XL.

Do you already own a Novak motor or are planning on buying one to run with your Revo?
Sorry about switching topics.

I don't see any way in hell it could magically keep the ends from popping off. Sounds like something CF pulled out his you know what. Mikes heatsink/clamp can obviously keep that from happening, but I see no way the HV one could do anything. The only thing I can even thing of as to why he said that would be if he sold them...Even then, he probably simply peens the ends so they don't pop off so easy. That way it looks like its the heatsink...

I was thinking about running the HV 6.5, partially due to the fact that towerhobbies has it for a good price, and it might run cooler and more efficiently than a 9XL.

It won't run cooler nor more efficient than a XL. High KV and a small rotor aren't really a receipt for good efficiency.

A lot of users have reported that the MM wont handle 14 cells either ....it just wont arm at start up....its internal voltage limit is like 20 volts or something......a freshly charged set of NiMh can be over 21 volts...

So its 4s or twelve cells to stay safe.
