Hey man, curious how your motor is going to hold up. Mine smells like a BBQ gone bad :D... You probably know a bit more on what 56/58 mm motors have been working well in XO-1s, so let's say, "hypothetically" :D, you would be looking for a replacement for the 5682, any idea what you would be considering?

Leo 5682/5692 ~1300 kv seems very popular, but I'm worried quality will be around that of the Turnigy (afaik the specs of the 5682 900 kv versions were identical except for the max RPM, so could even be same stator, different rotor???). Maybe the higher kv ones will hold up better under higher Current loads though.
TP5650/60 is also tempting, especially considering the additional poles, but a bit more expensive. Bruno has a custom ~1400kv version I'm tempted at, but you never know what you get with those custom winds, and your experiences with APS were also not the smoothest...
Toro Beast X24 are quite cheap and huge (102 mm long, 1100 g); they have a 190A 900 kv version, which means I don't have to rethink gearing (might also mean I burn it up again...). And it's cheap, and big. But I can't find much about people using them... Did I mention already it's big, and cheap? :D

Anyway, sorry for polluting your thread man, just like to bounce some ideas with you.

Cheers!
