I dont understand gearing!

So 40-48mph it should run cool? Right? How well does lipo hold? Also what size plugs do I need to hook the motor up? Its not the hi-amp so theres 6 plugs coming out of it.

Since when do they have 6 plugs? AFAIK, they've always had only three female plugs with traces on the back of the motor to reconfigure for Wye or Delta.

So theres no way to put plugs on it? And what is the wye and delta? Whats better?

Without getting into the Y vs D debate, there is no "better". D config will have 1.73x the kv of a Y config, but 1.73x less torque. So, it depends on what voltage you plan on running. Or, if you have the motor with plugs, a quick rewire lets you go from a 2s to 3s battery pack without changing the motor - kinda like having two seperate motors in one package.

It is said that D config motors run equally efficient in both directions, while Y operates a little more efficiently that the D config, but in one direction (the other direction is not as good, but not bad either).
