MM18 motor

[ken webb]

What is a good motor size for an MM18?

For a spirited sport runner, I think a Leopard 4074 would be a nice match. You could make anywhere from a 1800 to 2000 kv version work with a Turnigy 180 speed controller depending on what prop you want to use. i would also go two 4S packs in parallel (4s2p). It will run circles around the .18 version.

Depending on your experience a UL-1 motor and 180 esc would work too. If you need more speed you could move up to a larger motor after.

I tried the UL-1 motor in mine, but it was just a bit too much. The 1800 Kv motor worked better - just as fast with less heat and amp draw. But my MM is the full-weight version, the light weigh versions may work great with the 2030 motor.

That is correct Fluid. My MM18 is the heavier version. BUilt very well mind you!

Thanks for adding important info!!

I was thinking of suggesting 1800kv motor also. She works real nice on the 30 inch Revolt.
