Voltage & Performance

• Recommended voltage:

  • ✅ 2S LiPo (7.4 V) — strongly recommended

  • ❌ 3S LiPo — not recommended

• No-load RPM:

  • 2S: ~59,000 rpm

  • 3S: ~88,000 rpm (unsafe in most setups)

Current & Power (typical)

• Continuous current: ~10–12 A

• Burst current: ~18–20 A

• Estimated power: ~90–130 W

• Efficiency: Lower than the 5000 KV version (runs hotter)

Intended Use

• 1/18 scale on-road

• Micro touring cars

• Speed-focused lightweight builds

• Short gearing, small tyres, lots of airflow

⚠️ Important warnings (this motor is spicy 🌶️)

• Do NOT run on 3S unless it’s basically unloaded (fans, props, or no drivetrain).

• Gear very conservatively — tiny pinion, large spur.

• Expect heat: add a heatsink or airflow if possible.

• Shaft is 2 mm, not 3.17 mm (easy to strip pinions if forced).

Quick comparison (useful)

• 5000 KV: safer, torquier, better all-rounder

• 8000 KV: faster, hotter, shorter lifespan if pushed
