MOTOR CORRECTION
HAWK-7s are long-can sealed motors from JK Products, Not Mid-America (altho I think M/A re-sells the Hawks). These are 48,000 rpm motors with moderate to high torque (No TQ rating stated by JK).
They are upgrades to the Hawk-6 (40k?) and Hawk-Retro motors (45k).
The “Screamer” version is a little hotter (no specs available) [Hawk-7 Screamer – JKM7-SC (Formally JK-30307SC]
A legal upgrade in GTP and Group-F (entry level wing) classes is the Mid-America “Phoenix” which is 60k and has so much torque, you will burn up the motor in seconds if you try to break it in. It depends on full speed operation to cool itself (and they still get Very Hot!)
A easier to handle motor is the Mid-America “Eagle” rated at 50k and more TQ than the Hawk but less than the Phoenix.
