your saying your mega motor gets hot quickly? i just got a 22/30/1 for my revo. it weighs right around 8-9 lbs so how do you think that will do...? bluegrooveconcepts.com used the motor on a 16/36 gearing with 3s and it did great though. low temps and everything.

no, the 9xl is getting rather hot. I'm not running the mega yet.

I got a short video today. It doesn't last very long as I blew the diff at the end of the run.

I was driving pretty stupidly

I switched to 20/66 gearing and am pretty happy with the speed, but I'm thinking of getting a kb45-10L. I had the data logger on this run and peaked at 1690 watts and 112 amps. I am running with an actual 5b tomorrow and I will get a better video of that.

The KB45 10l is a bad (good?!) motor, much more powerful than the feigao xl motors. I have not tested my xl kb motors yet, but they should be potent to say the least!

It's just annoying they aren't 5mm shaft and normal hole spacing.

True, but I removed the front endbell and drilled/tapped m3 holes in a 25mm spacing. You could have the shaft turned down, or drill out a pinion. I make my own mounts for these motors, so that is not a big deal for me. They are well worth the hassle, considering the price.

I wonder if I could find someone around here who could turn down the shaft and drill the holes for me. Will the kb45 fit the revo mounts with the holes re drilled?
