9000 kv is way too high...............you will be frustrated with the heat and inability to gear it properly.

There have been guys in recent threads that wished they would have bought lower kv motors..................it happens all the time. Go with a 4600kv and gear up if needed.......at most go with a 5700. BTW, you cant run a 9000 on 3s.............

Get a 4600 or 5700 and you will be satisfied.
