Wendell,

Thanks for the information. I suspected as much and wanted to make suggestions with caution until I actually have one in my hands.

The geared Kontronik 600 brushless motor would work well here since the gearbox is in-line. I don't recommend using the 600 Brushless Set that comes with the Jazz-55 ESC thought due to the over-current shutdown kicking in prematurely around 45amps. I have had great success with this geared motor using a 13" prop with a Jeti 77-amp Opto ESC and a 6s or 7s Lithium pack of Kokam 3.2AH cells.

The [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/jetibrushless.htm]Jeti Phasor 45-3[/link] motor may work as well. On a 4 to 5 cell Lithium pack you could use an 11" or 12" prop. A 5s pack at 50 amps burst would provide around 900 watts.

Ideally, the more expensive Kohler Actro 40-4 would be perfect due to its thinner profile and near 2000w burst capability but Hobby Lobby is discontinuing sales of this motor due to its high price.
