Cool. Gonna investigate this a little more to see if it's something that can upgrade my Reflex 14B.

Love it, would've been nice if they had some lower KV options with a bit shorter can length. While the two higher KV options are shorter, they're still 50+mm. Might be hard in some of my applications.

The problem with these little cars and low kv motors is that you have to gear them to the moon otherwise they are slow. I tried a 3600kv motor in my EMB-T and it was so slow I have a 4850kv in it now and it rips.

For me it was the High KV motors were fast enough, but both the motor and ESCs were getting pretty warm. I switched to a lower KV (3200kv) and then ran on 3S. Much better overall performance and better temperatures.
