simplechamp's Jammin X2 carbon on-road GT

Excellent info, this is good news. I switched my mount back to the RCM mount so I can fit a larger pinion (Ofna cam mount will go in the Nexx8 I just got). With that and CHEAT mode I can get away with a lower kv motor. Gotta play with the speed calc a bit more now, but I think a 1400kv will do the trick.

I was comparing my 2S 5000mah hardcases and the new (to me) 3S 3200mah hardcases, and they both weigh 277g. Pairing them in series the 4S setup would be 74Wh and the 6S would be 71Wh. So the 6S should provide similar runtimes to the 4S, or even reduce current draw a bit to squeak out a little extra time.

EDIT: Looks like with the 6S and 1400kv setup I can gear 46/20 and get about 48mph. Then I can dial in a little CHEAT to hopefully get to around 50-55mph. Should shape up to be a pretty decent setup. It's about time I jump on the higher voltage, lower kv bandwagon.
