Hi all
I going to rebuild my BJ29 and have a choice of using either an Feiago 8XL or the original proboat 1800kv motor on 4s2p lipo looking for reasonable run times and between 45 to 50ish.
Hope someone can help.

The original 1800kv would be my choice over a 2 pole motor, more efficient = less heat.
Although I do have a Lehner 2 pole motor that rocks, comparing the Lehner to Feigao is comparing apples to oranges. The Lehner is what they copied in China.

Side by each I couldn't find any differences between them, Leopard and the 4 pole Tacon motors, there is another one that is the same motor but I can't remember the name now.
Probably a few more out there, anybody and their dog can order them with any can colour and label. Fine design also sells or sold them with his own label for double the money or something dumb.
Pretty good mid range motors!
