I agree with the others that Novak products are for the most part too high KV. This new traxxas motor looks interesting too me because it is only 3400kv which is right on par with what I've found actually works well on a 2 or 3 cell pede. Traxxas's first brushless and already they got the KV correct right out of the gate. I think this says alot for Traxxas. In fact.....I'd say they are the first one's to actually get the KV even close too correct on a RTR RC. I would like to buy one of these motors and try running it with my MambaMax ESC. Lower KV motors with 1/8th shafts are rare as gold these days. This might turn out to be the perfect motor for rusty/pede regardless of which speed controller you are using.

Is traxxas going to finally ship the pede with wheel bearings? I don't see how they can run brushless and keep the bushings.

Yup and to add to the cold front through hades, they will be 5x11, No more RPM upgrades needed
