Hotter than 40amp motor pulling 60amp

Well not much flying going on with 100 degree heat. We have been trying out the newer Helicopter Turnigy 450 size H2218 series motor lately. So far the motor seems to be a winner. Motor comes with nothing but an x-mount but at less tham $11 that leaves you with $6 to put on connectors and a prop adapter and cost the same as the 2836-2350KV motors. Not that you can get any of them for the last month. The 1860-2900KV motors are well suited for parkjet foamies. The only hold back is the shaft cannot be reversed which limits your mounting options. Using 11.1v batteries the prop maximum diameter seem to fall as follows: 1860=8", 2100=7", 2500=6", and 2900=5" not to exceed a 5 blade pitch. Bump it up to 14.8v and you might have to come down an inch in diameter but it really screams and you fall right at the rated 500 watt maximum.
