lol, oh yeah, I remember now. But technically, those cells aren't mine anymore, so you are more than welcome to send smoke signals whenever you want.

Could you not just use a small aero prop and an eagltree with BL rpm sensor? spin it up and divide the RPM by the number of volts to get KV? then you know what wind it is and can look the rest of the info up on the feiagio website.

I have an eagletree, BL rpm sensor, 5mm prop adaptor and small props if some one wants to sent me a motor to test, but I'm sure someone in the USA also has the same equipment and that would reduce the postage costs at each end. unless someone in the UK has the motor?

I'm in contact with a chap at the factory trying to get the specs for all...

So did anyone get the specs yet? I figured I'd buy one to test it out on my FLM Maxx. If the XLT1 has enough power to push an LST2 around it should be plenty for an Emaxx. Mine weighs in at 11.2 lbs.

I also noticed that it had 4mm female bullet connectors on it already. But aren't male connectors the norm on motors?

All the pre-terminated motors I have bought have had various sized males, likewise females on the ESCs that came with connectors.

IIRC, the only motors I've seen with the male bullets on the motors are the Castle motors. This actually makes sense since you generally put the more insulated connectors on the end where the power comes from to protect against shorts if they come unhooked for whatever reason.

I'm guessing RPMs are at 5s which seems to be collerated to the magazine which said 4s was 50k...

Power (W) RPM V Assume 5s KV
XLT4 1500 40000 21 1,904.76
XLT1 1500 60000 21 2,857.14
XLT3 1500 65000 21 3,095.24
