I am also wondering if you need to replace the rev switch.

I have ran 2 IMRs before, and I have never had to. The stock one works just fine with my wire setup, which is simply battery box -> rev switch -> motors

Alright. So I got the motors. Awesome. In the process of wiring them up. One question though: Does the rubber motor cover that holds the stock against the flywheel cage matter? With these motors, the connection tabs are in the center of the motor, right where the cover goes, as opposed to the side like the stock motors/RM2s.

Falcon Motors are the only motors I'd recommend running on 3s, but they're pretty much extint right now. I've been trying to order 50 of them for a project, and I can't find them anywhere. All the Aliexpress links for them say they're out of stock a few days after I place an order and they refund me.

Falcon Motors actually yield less FPS than Meishel motors (the ebay ones I linked above) by a very small margin, but spin up SLIGHTLY faster (like .05 of a second faster). The only reason I used falcon motors in my hailfire was because I did not want to have to have two different voltage motors in the blaster since I planned to run the blade motors at 3s. I use the Meishel motors in 90% of my flywheel blasters and they work great. If you ask about them on reddit (where they were nicknamed for my discovery, lol), you'll get more than a few people singing their praises.

Until Blades or Falcons show up again on the market, or people find some new motor and properly test them so the community can actually see they're good (Instead of the whole "I JUST PUT THESE IN MY STRYFE AND THEY'RE SO LOUD BRAH!" approach some people take), Meishel motors are the best option outside of high end slot car motors, xtreme 180s, or some custom solution.

Thanks for the continuously detailed replies. I was just curious if you could get some substantial gains from going to a 3s, but clearly not. I have since ordered the Meishel motors! Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies! I really like those ones you suggested meishel and I liked them in the previous post, but never got around to buying them before the listing ended. I'll probably go with those. But I also agree with Condorboy: What would you recommend for 3s? Are they substantially better?

I was told by condorboy to say I will not be coming.
