Savage on 6s which motor, 10XL or KB45 8XL???

[tashpop]

what about going with the 1200kv kb45xl and using higher voltage? i have the 1700kv in my maxx and its a monster. running 6s2p a123, so a little lower voltage, i put it on a whatt meter and it pulls over 1100 watts with the wheels off the ground. i couldn't run fast enough to see what it does under load since the meter doesn't log anything. i wouldn't choose the 1700kv on a 100amp esc, although i ran mine for a while on a bk9920 on 5s2p and it seemed to do fine until i hit some water.

also, as far as the motor coming apart, mine did on the front endbell. it would pop over the threads and start to spin. some thread lock fixed it.
