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.

Lincpimp I hope I didn't offend you..... the point I was trying to make was that if you can shoe horn the motors in they are great for the heavier models

Not at all Peter, you have more experience with the KB than I do! I have 3 of them, 10l, 8xl, and 10xl. I have not had a chance to run them in anything yet, but I have purchased a few 6mm bore pinions and removed the front endbell and tapped it for a conventional bolt pattern.

I need to get the Aftershock conversion started, as I intend to run the 10xl on 8s-10s thru a HV85 esc. The motor should be ideal for the heavy truck, just hope my lipos can keep up!

I originally thought that BOOGIE was using the rcm chassis, and there is very little space for batteries with a motor bigger than 36mm in diameter. Since he has the kershaw mount and access to machine equipment, I see no reason for him not to run the KB.
