I had a RX8 and T8 1400kv motor on 6S but was just a little bit not smooth enough for me
. I love the feeling of 1/10 motors since I switched from the 1/8. This is one of the main reason with the fast corner speed why I moved to 1/10 (I have more pleasure to drive it). Still I love the scale in 1/8 so I try to figure out how to make them smoother feeling/ lighter/ faster in the corners. I almost got there with a lightened 808 on MMP and SC4X 550 motor but it just wasn't powerful enough for bigger tracks (I ran it indoor)
