why not get a 4080? BTW, thanks for the springs! They really made a huge difference. My Hobao is finally dialed in. Ran 137 mph on Saturday....The 1717-1650 is a proven workhorse but I am very curious about that 4050-SVM
All that RPM would sound amazing though
I’m debating on getting the SVM for my VTE2.. I really want the 4060 2150kv motor.
TBH, I didn't. TP 5650 might be the ticket.....Have you considered a 56mm can short enough to fit in the stock location?

Just don't go too high on the kv rating if you go TP. The XLX2 doesn't mix well with high-kv 6-pole motors. I think general rule of thumb says to stay below 1400kv.TBH, I didn't. TP 5650 might be the ticket.....

I might just get a 4050 and try to stuff it into the Serpent and if if doesn't fit I can experiment with the limitless.
4050 svm is a great motor. What voltage you plan on running?? I have a custom kv but went 116 on 2s and just started pushing 3s. So far 129 on 3s. It is a small motor so any weight savings you could do would help a ton. In my infraction I did away with front shocks and center braces and got a scortched torsion bar thing to stiffen it back up. I may be biased but I'd vote for 4050svm all day. Are you speed running???? If not speedruning maybe 1717 would be a better bash motor. If you want to run low volts, you can get a high kv 6pole. The rpms seem to be the limiting factor.Currently I'm running a 1717 and I'm thinking of a TP. Which motor is going more powerful? I don't want to invert the motor and don't want to modify the car to make a 4060 fit. Thoughts??

It's crazy that as good as the xlx2 is, it's the weak point with these big motors. I run low voltage so I pull a lot of amps but my tp4080 will only be 125⁰ after a pass and the xlx2 will be 160⁰ plus. On the big diameter cans it's even lower on the motor temps but about the same on esc temps. A true 600 or 700 continuous amp esc is the type of thing I dream about at night lol with a 1000 or 12000 burst.
I'm close to reaching my goal which is 140 mph with the car on 8S so I want to experiment with lower voltages, probably 6S or might consider 4S. I'm just kicking around ideas TBH. The street that I run on probably can't accommodate much more than 140mph so rather than pushing for greater speeds I think I'm going to target 140 mph with lower voltages. I'm really just wanting to mix things up a bit...4050 svm is a great motor. What voltage you plan on running?? I have a custom kv but went 116 on 2s and just started pushing 3s. So far 129 on 3s.

Bro this is right up my ally!!!!!!! Definitely get svm high kv and run 4s. If you been running 8s then you already got the lipos. You can hit 140 on 4s with an efficient car. I did 137 on 3s with a 1/7 scale gt. I'd be mire than happy to help as well if you ever need any. Low volts is where it's at bro. Sooo much fun and a challenge as well.I've almost met my speed goals for my limitless on 8S so I wanted t
