Yes ihave been using a 3200kv keda outrunner of similar dimentions to the one you mention, you may need a smaller one! Mine has been fine at club and in testing but was just too much when i triedit at swansea national. Worked out after the meeting that i was getting 300 watts out of it, waaaay too much for a little car. Quick as a touring car with a 9 turn motor at club. You need to gear it as you think for an inrunner then add another two or three teeth to the pinion for good measure as the torque they give is immense. Also using a heli outrunner just slightly smaller than a standard 540 can in an electric 1/8, not as quick as some i have seen, but quicker than a nitro 1/8 and more than enough for me!
