How do you like that motor

How do you like that motor

of the few that I've tried its my favorite so far. tried a hobbypark 2435 4800kv then castle 0808 5300, 1010 5600, then finally went with the 1007 6350. It doesn't have the torque as the 1010 5600 (which imo was a little much) but it has more top speed potential, which has been my goal. I recently put it in the typhon and have run it a couple times, speeds in the 50-58 range and I like to think theres a few more mph with some tweaks. Oddly enough my grom typhon is just as fast maybe a little more so than my Typhon 6s TLR (OTB).

Cool, thanks for the info, I set a goal with mine with the 5600kv but if I can't reach it then I may want to try it. Nice build

In my granite grom i had a hard time reaching 50 mph. what made a big difference was adding weight to the chassis. (1/8" steel plates)
