You can make your speed goals with a higher KV motor such as the Leopard 3674 3270KV, use 4S2P, a 180 amp, 6S, ESC like the Hobbywing Seaking & save a lot of $. JIM
I don't usually jump in where it's none of my business, but if you follow my dear, well intentioned but misguided buddy Jim's advice you will very likely qualify for immediate membership in the ZSP/WTS? Club*
To begin with, a 36 can 3270KV motor will, turning 46,000 rpm () for a few seconds at least rocket the MM forward like it's shot out of a cannon, followed immediately by a slow, smoking halt - that is if the MM stays anywhere near earth. The MM hull packs lots of air and approaching 60 and most definitely 70 will require a parachute to return it safely to earth. Of course, you'll save lots of $$ if such an experience prompts you to quit FE. Just sayin......
