The buggy motors I use turn counter clock wise if you were standing in front of the prop looking at it head on, I call it clock wise because I think of it as if I was in the plane.
I have a AXE Rossi Mamba VP .21 that has a HotMod in it and it turns over 50,000 rpm. I guess that would be way too many rpms, What I had in mind was about a .26 or .21 motor that is stock and not been modified, just to put in my trainer. I can cut the heat sink down and have prop adapters for the crankshaft so if you guys think its feasible, I may just try it. I have another plane that has a evo 100 in it but I want to learn to fly before I put it in the air. Lots of guys on here talked me out of flying it with out an instructor. Matter of fact I am not even going to fly the trainer with out an instructor
