Yeah it should work it's the right motor size 
Have you been having heat issues? Just asking because I have a Typhon but haven't ran her hard enough to have any heat issues.
Is it something I should think about getting also?

Both my stock Typhons run hot as hell on 4 or 6s even when they were new, wouldn't be able to run them without those double 28k rpm fans. Just a few days ago I found out that the stock timing is set pretty high, was going to set it lower soon and see if that helps, could be the issue?
Edit: I guess I should say I couldn't run them for very long without the fans, 5-10 mins or so, heavy trigger pulls heat up the motor pretty fast.
yea i noticed the timing by default is set high but I left it alone. I'll probably lower it some.

IDK what you would consider a heat issue, but after riding it on high (6s battery) for like 10-20 mins i cant touch the motor for 2 seconds. hold ur finger there any longer youll get burnt. it doesn't affect the overall power and handling and all that stuff, but im wondering if it is something i should look into to prevent any further issues.
Yea that sounds about to the point I wouldn't want to get to.
I run in cool ambient temps so maybe that's the reason I haven't had it get that hot.
But what’s the temp? Putting a temp gun on it see what the real temp is what you need to do.
Ah'm wi Fishtank here, invest in a temp gun first!
Or maybes a fire extinguisher!

I've yet to have heat issues on any of my rigs. Even this past summer wasn't too bad. I think I hit 170 on a motor one time this summer.
Typically averages around 140ish (when I remeber to take my temp gun with me). Depending on ambient and driving style that day.
However, I'm not geared to the max on em and on both my Typhons, I do have 2-40mm fans on the motor and one on the esc. They blow well! So there's that.

Skip a Heatsink altogether.
Spend the money on a lower profile Fan mount with quality fan(s). like 40mm x 10m fan(s). Be careful with taller fans , may not fit under the Typhon body, or the body will smother the fan's intake. Need at least 10+mm of body height clearance above the Fan(s).
Don't need a Heatsink. Fan(s) blowing directly at the motor is better. The motor's Can alone is a already a heatsink by design anyway.

Nice neat setup/ layout there.
You simply can't run hot with that setup. I recommend that identical setup. Harcore cooling no doubt.

Thanks!
Yeah, figured it doesn't cost much for the fan set up, so why not overkill it.
Plus, as mentioned before, I tend to forget my temp gun when I bash away from home, so this is my fail-safe!
+2 I like this setup better then a heat sink. Run a sink in the past I run cooler like this by 10-15 degrees!
So far here in Washington I haven't even bothered using my temp gun. Motor gets warm at most.Thanks!

Back in Hawaii? Can easily thermal if not keeping mind.
And btw, I don't give 2
's about you overkillin with fans....just stop showing the rest of us up!

I never had better cooling with any HS set up. I tested with and without. It's a no brainer. And a HS is just added weight with no advantage except maybe some Bling factor. Looks trick?
I stopped using them for several years now. Yet many want that HS in the mix. Maybe just as crutch for fan mounting purposes? Following a stock out the box setup.
