I haven't seen anyone else post a shockie setup with a Python 60 brushless outrunner yet, so I figured I would post mine:

Ikarus Superstar Shockflyer
Python 60 Brushless Outrunner
Jeti 18 amp brushless controller
2s1p 830mah IRate lipoly
10 x 3.8 SF prop

AUW is just shy of 8 ounces. Hovers around half throttle (pulling about 4.5 amps). At full throttle is will rocket vertical. Max amp draw is 8.5 amps. After hovering constantly for 8 minutes, the battery and motor are just SLIGHTLY warm. The Python motor is great because it's over half an ounce lighter than the AXI (and provides more possible thrust). It also has a rubber-band style prop adapter built in, which saves a nominal amount of weight.

Anyone else has experience with this motor?

I'm still loving mine. However, I think the MP Jet AC28/7-35D looks like an interesting option. It's really cheap ($60) and should make a shockie a rocket. The only problem is that HL doesn't have any in stock.

I would like to hear more of the Python 60 on a shocky as well.

I am about to build my 2nd shocky (superstar this time around) and
would like to try to make it even lighter/stronger than my current setup (Edge)

Currently I am using the axi 2208/34 with CC phoenix10, 10X4.7 prop
I really like this setup and wonder if I should just build it the same as my edge,
or try something different for a motor.

I suppose you could use the CC phoenix 10 with the Python 60 ???
I would like to make this one as light as possible, but to have about the same power output as the axi on a 2cell LiPo.


So basically I am debating wether to get another AXI, or get the lighter Python60.
any and all opinions/advice is appreciated.
