Morning. Thanks so much for this post. I’m really glad I asked about this combo. I was actually pretty sure it would work but I’m glad I checked.

So would this motor mostly be more powerful than mine or would it be any faster?

I want to leave the option open to try 3S someday so it looks like I might just be better off sticking with what I have and just not use that ARRMA heat sink and fan I got. I’ll just need to find something that fits my motor.

There is a 100A Firma ESC actually but it uses IC5 connections. Everything I have, my charger, my batteries, and the LiPo that arrived yesterday are all IC3. I’d hate to fool with adapters and all that. I was trying to make use of the “extra” part I got when I bought the motor mount but it may be better to take the loss on the fan and heat sink I got.

You mentioned just a heat sink would be enough. What about the BLX motor mount and the metal red piece it has. That will help with heat a little, correct?

Would a fan only like this Dynamite Motor Cooling Fan with Housing: 1/8, DYNS7751 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00LMITO4C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SVBZ260VKX87DFM5QNT6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 do me much good?

Back to the motor and ESC for a moment. The combo I’m asking about wouldn’t be good for 3S but my current combo would be fine with it. Is that simply due to the combo being better paired?

I appreciate the suggestion on the motor and ESC, those are nice. But I do want to make use of the Spektrum stuff. I actually have a DX3 receiver on the way so I’m going to be able to benefit from the Spektrum ESC data.

Have a good one.
