Sensored for 8th scale?

[Serum]

That 1409 is a rather small motor. If you want more power, i would take a larger motor. Why use the HC160, if the current is a concern? it has got the same currenthandling as the L160.

Perhaps you can take the HC160 and take a lower kv motor (maybe even slightly bigger) and use it on a higher voltage, in order to get the currentdraw down.
