i know ive posted on here about this but need some more info please. Fluid you suggested the fiegao 8s for my 22 in. rigger. you suggested 4000 to 4600kv. my question is what about the better motors out there? is the Leopard 3674/1400kv a good option? or sv27/1500kv. thanks for the info ahead of time.

I don't remember the details, but I believe you were going to run 2S (or 7.4 volts). In order to get the rpm you need for your rigger - around 30,000 rpm - you need a motor with a Kv (rpm/volt) of 4000 or more. While the Leopard 3674/1400 is a good motor (I'm not certain it is any 'better' than a Feigao), you need at least 6S to go very fast with it....too much for a small rigger.

OSE doesn't give you many motor options. The Neu 1509/1.5D is a powerful, efficient motor which will give lots of speed, but limited run time. Other sites sell more appropriate Leopards like the 3650/3D, 3660/2D or 4050/2Y motors. In your small rigger you don't want a heavy 74mm long motor, nor would you need it.
