            I thought PB 1500kv was 3656, not 60mm.

            These are great motors!http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=6528

                No. It's not 74. Spec motors are 3656.

                    53mm from the mounting face, 56 if you include the boss in the center where the shaft comes out. Just measured one.
                    If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

                      1500kv will do fine with 4-6S. Just make sure they are at least 30C, 40 if less than 5000mah. In my Geico I always ran 4S, 2P though.
