im not sure... but it used to be 14.3lbs fully loaded with 6s worth of lipos

Now it has GH Alloy bulks, Nylon Roll Cage, lipo boxes... so i would say around 15.5-16lbs? maybe more? i will weigh it properly very soon.

Oh i know 8s will give me MORE than enough power... But i want to go all out with this setup. I have spent a lot of money thus far and i think i should just max it out and be happy. Otherwise after i buy the 8s controller i will want the 12s one anyway! we all know how it is in this hobby :)

also considering...

i know many that run the 2650kv on 6s... on 6s at 3.7V its at 58,830 and 4.2V at 66,780

also i heard somewhere that, these motors are fine for higher RPMs but the bearings are only rated to 60,000rpm...
What would a bearing failure do to the motor? Would it be repairable or do you usually want to catch bearing failure before it happens? Can i replace the bearings with some decent ceramic bearings that are rated to higher rpms?
