The question for me is, is it really bigger motors, or is it just that I chose kv wrong for 6-poles?

Othello once ran a TP5850 600kv Y-Wind in his Losi 5t on 8s and it seemed to do quite well. Got a little warmer than the 2028, but considering that the Losi weighs 17kg and the TP is smaller than the Castle I guess that's okay. The guy that he got it from uses it on 10s normally and another knowledgeable guy on the offroad cult forum also runs them with those low kv values in large scale cars. 35k RPM with a 4-pole would be 23k RPM with a 6-pole. 600kv on 10s would be 22k RPM ...

I also remember a guy on the Traxxas forum some time ago who said the TPPowers he tried got hot in the XO-1 and he had better luck with the Leopard 5692, IIRC he also chose fairly high kv.

The 5670 also got fairly warm in the 3 minutes or so the Alienpower ESC lasted ...
