I think it'll surely need a fan in this case. The Neu will not go easy on the controller, and I think the esc will not live long enough with such a setup.
The Neu shouldnt be a problem. I ran a Neu 1512/2.5D on mine for a short time. No issues. Of course I didn't spin mine that fast.

The motor is really a 3s motor since its not a good idea to run it past its rpm limit, and there is no way the 2000 mah batteries will support the required current unless they are rated for 60c continuous.
I'm with you speedy. Thats a hell of a current that setup is gonna pull.

I think you will not only need a fan, but probably a fire extinguisher as well. Not sure the R1 is gonna handle that very well. Possibly thoug if you are just doing it for short bursts and not trying to run like that for more than a few seconds at a time. Sounds to me like you need a MMM for that. Or a big MGM 22416.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
