While I prefer the stock 1800 Kv motor in my MC, others have achieved significant speed increases with the UL-1 motor, getting into the low/mid-50s. It requires a different prop and careful tuning, and I don't know if the AQ 60A controller will handle it. This upgrade is for specialized applications, it is easy to over-prop and burn up a motor/ESC.
As good as the AQ 1800 motor is - and I really like it - the UL-1 motor can be faster in most applications. When Mark, Tony and I were finding setups for the first FE-30s we had a lot of trouble breaking 50 with the 1800 Kv motor. Once we put in the UL-1 2030 motor, mid-50s were achievable without excess amp draws. However, these Limited motors have their 'limits', and if you exceed those limits you WILL lose a motor - and it can be easy to pass the limit if you're not careful (sometimes even if you are). For not much more $$$ you can get a Leopard 4074/2000 motor and have a safer alternative. But then you are at/over the limit for the ESC - get a 120 amp minimum replacement. Who said it was cheap to go faster?
