Watch temps and don't push it to it's max speed and it should be an absolute animal. Patrick said a while back that they're rated to 45,000 RPM because the magnets will start coming apart at higher speeds. I've run this motor on 4s and 6s and it's stupidly powerful in a very heavy 1/8th scale Truggy, 8s would push a 5th scale pretty well if you were smart about your setup and watch temps. Main problem I see with running it on 8s is accidentally over-revving it, I'd stick to 7s max myself.
