Best run on 2S LiPo only with conservative gearing due to high RPM. Features a 2.0mm shaft and standard 370 mounting pattern. Mtroniks 8000 KV Brushless Motor (2236 / 370) Physical Diameter: 22 mm Length (can): 36 mm Motor class: 370 / 2236 Shaft diameter: 2.0 mm Shaft length (exposed): ~10 mm Mounting: Standard 370 pattern, M2 screws Weight: ~45–50 g Connectors: ~3.5mm bullet connectors Electrical KV: 8000 KV Type: Sensorless brushless Poles: 4-pole Timing: Fixed (ESC adjustable only) Voltage & Performance Recommended voltage: ✅ 2S LiPo (7.4 V) — strongly recommended ❌ 3S LiPo — not recommended No-load RPM: 2S: ~59,000 rpm 3S: ~88,000 rpm (unsafe in most setups) Current & Power (typical) Continuous current: ~10–12 A Burst current: ~18–20 A Estimated power: ~90–130 W Efficiency: Lower than the 5000 KV version (runs hotter) Intended Use 1/18 scale on-road Micro touring cars Speed-focused lightweight builds Short gearing, small tyres, lots of airflow ⚠️ Important warnings (this motor is spicy 🌶️) Do NOT run on 3S unless it’s basically unloaded (fans, props, or no drivetrain). Gear very conservatively — tiny pinion, large spur. Expect heat: add a heatsink or airflow if possible. Shaft is 2 mm, not 3.17 mm (easy to strip pinions if forced). Quick comparison (useful) 5000 KV: safer, torquier, better all-rounder 8000 KV: faster, hotter, shorter lifespan if pushed
