Ever get it and check the speeds with the 580 L?

No, I'm still running a 9XL..

disar whats your run time when the motor gets to 150 f

About 3-4 mins. I also tried the 9XL on 4s but motor temp was a bit higher

Awesome, keep us posted..
I may get a 580 for my MM

After testing various motors on my MM I am running it now with an outrunner Align 600XL 1700KV on 6s with a 440/3. I have a made a carbon cooling jacket for the motor (the external casing does not rotate) Speed is abt 45 mph and motor temp is 150 F

Outrunners?

Anyone try an outrunner with a MM yet? Looking for a slower sport boat, mid 30's only.... For now

lol i see hey would the etti 150 opto esc hold up to the 580? i looked at the specs i think it will

[Brushless55]

well I'm wanting to buy a new motor for my Baja 5B first..

[Rich]

odds are you will get it before me money is short right now

thats true, thats why i want this thing to be a screamer

[Brushless55]

Keep in mind the 580 will have more torque over the 540, and that will swing the same size prop more easy.

i can get any battery setup. steve, i looked at the specks of the neu and noticed that the constant out put is 1750 watts and the 580 is about 1800 watts, that makes more sense to me i agree there, so you are saying go with the 580 6L w/ 70,000 bearings? and maybe an etti 150 opto 30 volt esc?

The 540xl motor can not compare to the reliability and constant output that a 1521 motor can put out. A Feigao 580L is closer.
