Hmm, crap that yor motor didn't last long.

I think I know no more than you. Leos are not very good is my feeling, have heard reports on my local track that the Ripper 2000kv in various Thundertiger cars gets hot and doesn't hold up. And from what I see from online pics they don't seem to be very high build quality. Your experiences were also not good (regarding efficiency).

Have also seen some people with the 56x82 1360kv Leopard in the XO-1,
but somehow nobody posted any real info on them.

IIRC, Othello ran the Toro Beast sometime ago in a 5th scale, maybe ask him or search on the offroad-cult forum.

Personally, I'd take a TP58xx around 90-100mm long (I'm too lazy to look up their weird model numbers now ;)), with a KV that gives around 30k RPM, but I have no idea if that would be a good setup. Not sure if that 30k RPM rule of thumb also applies to larger 6-Pole motors...

Oh, regarding Alienpower: I got my stuff back finally. The broken ESC and the motor is exactly like I sent it to Bruno, no work done there. But Bruno said, there was one sensor defect in the motor and also something with the ESC and that he would repair it. Later then he told me, there was too much modifying done on the motor and ESC to be repairable (nope...) and he would send a new ESC.
Well, the ESC was the package, but only a non-sensored one. And the program card is still missing, got another USB adapter instead. Definetely not recommended.
