Sounds like they are using 5s lipos to get it to operate properly on 5s....

Max neu motor speed for a 15 series is 60k rpm. Seeing that the cc motors are based off the 15 series I would say the spec applies. The MMM can handle 6s lipo max so I see no reason not to run the 2650 on 5s. Good for speed runs, just watch gearing and temps. I would not try to run a lst on 5s geared for 50 with this, but in an 1/8 buggy/onroad it should be fine. Tire weight is much lower.

The only problem with running a 2650kV on 5s is keeping the tires together. This probably won't work for continuous running on some heavier buggies and some on-road cars; but would be a perfect drag racer. You could probably run on some lighter buggies, but it would be so squirrely, you wouldn't even be able to hit top speed. As always monitor motor temps, but with the proper setup, the 2650kV on 5s is one crazy mother and will work great.

It sounds like you've played around with this setup before!

No No, I would never do that, unless I had a mini E-Revo, then I probably would .

I've seen some videos on YouTube and it's just silly. Plus I'm not that good of a driver.
