    It wasnt engineered with big speed in mind with those smallish motors. A pair of these on 4s each would get it rockin'!!

    These are 4 pole motors btw: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Inrunner.html

    No need to replace motors, go to 4S Lipos and get the venom CNC props or anything but the stock plastic props, you will see a big difference in speed.

    just be sure to get the 32mm props if your gonna run 4s with stock motors. The 36mm props might be pushing the limits of the stock components.

    Forescott is correct. Make sure you are running the 32mm props.

    So these will run the 4s if you run with the 32mm props ? anyone had success with this setup? Not looking for blinding speed just something fast and still reliable. Stock motors stock ESC's . It seems to run well on 3s with the 36mm aluminum 3 blades. Sanding the bottom of the sponsons seemed to free it up a bit more.
    Don't forget to put your brain in gear before you engage your mouth! Thanks Dad!
