Getting intimate with the Feigao 580L (and MetalMan's hands)

4) was it caused by a rotary tool?

I would definately say try an 80mm medusa- it can push my ~13lb truck to 40mph or so, and thats with 4lb+ of rotating mass, so if you has sensible shoes on the XLB, I reckon it would do suprizingly well

Good point - I can try an 80mm Medusa, 'cuz I have one laying around already... the one from my Savage (which is currently in pieces awaiting a design change/rebuild). Thanks for the idea!

The feigao 580 motor is kinda odd if you ask me. It is still a 2 pole motor, and does not seem to have much benefit over the kb45 as far as design goes.

Plus for a little bit more you can score an 80mm medusa. Better design and smaller diameter so it may fit in more places than that big ole feigao. Plus it should run cooler and not work the lipos as hard. Inefficient motors work everything harder.
