e-JR Voyager E > Mega motor in Voyager?

Had a friend hand off his old Voyager to me with a Jeti esc (JES 70-3P)which he says can't be adjusted for timing for the Hacker. (?) Is there a Mega version of the Hacker C40-9L? He recommended a:
Mega 22/30/3H with a KV in the 1270 range while the Hacker is aprox. 3400 kv.
Or the 22/20/3H with kv of 1850.
Mega's site recommended a 22/20/2 at 2870 kv; http://www.megamotorusa.com
Will this be good enough?
Plan on using 4s 3000 lipos (3s with a gear change) on this bird with stock parts (mostly, maybe a Quick 15 head if anyone has one..) and what ever pinion you think is appropriate.
Thanks,
WD

You're going to need a MINIMUM KV of 3500 for the VE (assuming a 3s pack, a 17t pinion and a target headspeed of 1750 - 1900). With the VE's 2 stage gearing, anything less is not going to provide sufficient headspeed.

With your suggested configuration (22/20/3H) and a 17t pinion the headspeed is only going to reach about 1300 with no load. Minimum headspeed on the VE should be no less than 1400 and ideally not less the 1500. Any slower and the poor thing will wobble its self to death.

The 2850 would do much better, but check the current draw. Most folks who run a Hacker C-40 (I've got one for sale BTW

) run a minimum pack capacity of around 4000 and most are around 6000mah.

In the end , it was easier to go with the Hacker C40-8L and swap esc's. Appreciate your help.
