Yes , totally agree with that . Isn’t that dumb , by all these choices of brushless motors they pick that one ? But that would be the only explanation for this weird setup .
Different motor definitely would be the right way to go .
Maybe Joe should install some Heli-blades and send this in to RC4WD as an recommendation for an upgrade / conversion , Lol

Found this link here on a German forum , ( with photos )

But so far no posts about any issues or this power/motor/battery question ,
just the usual bla-bla about a new toy …..

There is a Hong Kong seller selling them on German ebay ,
Sold a few and some wrote feedbacks , one also complaint about not enough hydraulic oil , wonder if he experienced the same leaking like Joe .

Searched around some and a little surprised not to find more threads on this model ..??.....
