information on kb45 motors?

[scarletboa]

so, if the l-can motors are more powerful than the fiegaos, my 8xl 1600kv on 6s lipo is going to be complete overkill in a savage x 4.6.

maybe, i'll buy the 1400kv L-length motor if the xl destroys my drivetrain.

Dan@kershawdesigns told me that the KB45-8xl motor is about %40 more powerful than the cc/neu motors. if the flux can do standing backflips, what will i be able to do?

i'm going to lock my tranny into 1st gear by tightening the set screw in the tranny all the way. i ordered 5000mah 25c zippy 3s lipos and i'm hoping they are enough to power the motor. i will run 18/47, so i think it will be geared a little low and it shouldn't draw too many amps. if i want more speed, i could always use a bigger pinion.

also, i don't have to worry about qc issues as i bought my motor used. the shaft is already ground down to 5mm and i have a custom motor mount on the way from Dan so all i need now to mount it is the 4mm screws. any suggestions? hobbycity has them, but i'm not taking any chances. the one person who reviewed them said the heads break off easily.
