The 9000kV motor handles up to 8-cell Ni-Cd/NiMH and 2s LiPo. It’s a standard size 540 motor and weighs only 7ounces (198 grams). It features heavy-duty ABEC-1 bearings and has a standard 1/8-inch shaft to support a large number of pinions. Being rated at 9000kV means you get 9000rpm for every 1 volt applied to the motor. So on a 2s LiPo, we get 66,600rpm, and on an 8-cell NiMH, we could achieve 86,400rpm. That’s pretty fast.

Only issue is the 7700 motor is already known to run hot, this one would be worse!
