It justed walked away from my buddies RX8/4.5 550 setup. Learned my lesson and got a fan for it, and now Im running a MMM/7700 1406 4 pole Castle motor, and it's even faster than before and comes off at 140. And there is no overkill, there's just more than you can hang onto right now. Too much motor sooner or later seems like a good idea.
I was just looking at the 1406 4 poles last night. I bet your setup is really fast. 7700 has to be a ripper and then some! I'm looking for a motor with less drag, the 1410 3800 seems to have a little to much drag for where I run, it's just a little to much drag. I'm going to throw a 5700 2 pole in there to try this Friday, also bringing a 6700 2 pole just incase it's not fast enough!
