        Ok,I made a mistake.Heres what he has:
        Its an Arc motor that is 1680kv.
        From Lightflightrc.com
        All the run time and low temps are the same.I was wrong on just the motor facts.

            The biggest problem I've run into with this hull is space. There wasn't enough room for the servo arm to swing (short one) so I glued the servo to the hull. Also the hatch is so narrow that I couldn't even run the cooling lines on the side of the motor and still close the hatch... There's some photos in the "cool lookin cat" thread.

            HTH..

                I'm thinking that would be an excellent motor for this hull! (if it fits under the hatch)

                  Again, thanks for the info. Funny thing is, it has me thinking..since I sold my Drifter to Brad I've been "cat-less". Hmmm.... A MM with a FFRB hatch..... a new home for my spare 1515 1y & Turnigy 180.......

                    So how many people have tried the ARC motors? Results? They make some pretty lofty claims for them being better than a NEU! (not on the website but in an email I exchanged with them last year). A statement like that was enough to make me stay away from them.
