Well I went ahead and bought an Eflight Hacker 3700kv brushless motor (model number E3-37) and a GWS 15amp continuous ESC (model number ICS-480Li).

Now I know that the Hacker may be a bit too powerful just for normal flight but that what having control is all about right? But at least when I start getting into aerobatics I'll already have a motor with punch to it. Another side benefit would be higher head speeds which will create more stability. If the headspeed is too much then I'll just switch to a smaller pinion.

Now on to the tail motor.... Can I run it off the OEM 3-in-1 board or do I have to get a separate ESC for that? Do they make brushless motors that small? If they do point me to where I can get one.
