Hey guys new to this community, old to rc but very glad to be here. I have been reaserching motors that would be a good upgrade to my 1/5 maverick vader (rampage xb e) and have decided to go with a 1500ishkv motor because of some videos I've seen with the castle creations mamba 1717. Last week in my search for a new motor I picked up (by accident) a mamba 1717 1500kv air / helicopter motor. I know the motor has smaller fins and a 6mm shaft but does any one know if there are any technical reasons why this motor should not be ran in a car? Will I burn the motor / ESC out quick? is this a poor idea all around or is this ok to do?


Title should say motor, sorry
 
The air version will give the same results as the ground version (except for a small difference in kv). I know of a few guys that run them in 1/8 scale monster trucks with no issues. You may want to cover the holes in the motor to keep debris out though.
