Yeah... I have just put together a B44 with the 5.5 Ion with a GTB.
It's looking good because after the 5 min heats the temps are well within limits, and she isn't slow.
I was a bit dubious not being a big fan of Novak, but I had one laying around and it works fine.
As A Fantom Team driver i have found that the Ion series of motors works even better with the LRP speed controls. I run a 5.5 to a 10.5 in my B44 and 7.5 to 17.5 in my B4,T4,J82,TC5R&F i run the ION 1 series motors with MAJORLY POSITIVE Results.

I second this. I had my Fantom motors running on GTB's for most of the winter season, and they ran good. I just switched all of my ESC to LRP TC Spec's and I have even better performance. So much so, that guys who use to be just as fast as me are now asking what I did to get more speed since I can pull away down the long straights now. LRP + Fantom = Better Performance

Agreed. The ion 1 spec motors seem to provide a lot more torque. You can gear them higher and they stay cooler then the ion 2.
Are the Ion's can opened up like the Trinity Pulse motors? Are Ions rebadged trinity motors?
The ION2 is a Pulse Based Motor. Yes they are Trinty based, But they are Massaged and and Tuned to the FANTOM standards that Jeff and the Crew have set. I have people at a local track that where diehard Trinty. i Passed them with a Smaller motor and a NIMH pack and then the next week they all had ION motors. Fantom has Stepped up HUGE in this Brushless market, but the ION 1 speeks for itself when it comes to MONSTER HORSEPOWER at very Low Temps compared to other Motors. I trully believe the way to go is a ION1 motor with a 13mm Rotor, I put one together for a Local Kid he is Pulling WHEELIES with a 17.5 & a 13mm Rotor in a T4FT. we was running 13.5 lap times with a 17.5 ION1. And he was coming of a 140 degrees after 10 minutes. The motor was still pulling the hole straight away. NOW THATS POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
