(Or)
Castle mamba max -again no fan
Leopard 2858 3500kv(u guys know the specs)

Or....do we go the distance and do 6s with a 3000kv acme motor paired with the mamba monster?

What to do, what to do....
The Mamba Max Pro is 45.5x36.5x21.5mm, and putting that ESC in the stock location, the largest motor that fits is 54mm in length. So in that case, I would go with the Leopard 2850. If you're willing to move the ESC elsewhere, you could run the Leopard 2860, which is 64mm in length. I really like the 28mm Leopard motors and they're cheap. The TP2940 29mm motor required a lot more modifications to fit. I wouldn't trust the specs on that Voltron motor. If you go with a 6S setup, take a look at the Dinogy 1300mah 65C battery. It would fit very well at 29x35x100mm.

It's a metal based epoxy and plenty of curing time. I'm not making it myself, I'm having someone who's been making them for 10 years do it.
