Why do you want to use a 380 instead of a 540 motor? tell me please.. that's what i asked before, it's not clear to me. It uses a different motorplate (the mounting holes are closer to eachother)

The 380C motors are similar to the hacker C40 motors in that they are 380 motors with the diameter of a 540, and a 540 bolt pattern. So, no motor mount changes necessary. The heatsink would also help, and IMO it looks awesome.

As far as performance, these are lighter motors, and will result in a lighter vehicle (as opposed to one with a 540 brushless motor). Because they use a smaller rotor, the spool-up time will decrease, resulting in a somewhat quicker vehicle. Also, these motors won't pull as many amps, and their point of highest efficiency will occur at lower amp draws than 540 motors.

The MGM Compro 12012 is more than enough for a 380C 9t. A MGM Compro 8012 would work just as well (with a lower cost too). This setup would also work well in the Kyosho Lazer.
