High torque Atom brushless in Trex 500

Eagletree log. Max 1600W. Don't bother to check the rpm. Impression is 15% more power than the stock 500L Align brushless.
After violent 3D with pitch pumping continuously . If using Align 500L, the temperature will definitely be over 102 deg celcius. (at ambient temp 26deg Cel)

A drop fit into the trex 500 with no modification. 19T is needed for this motor because of the low kv 1080kv? I did not measured the headspeed, but defintely faster than the stock 500L (getting soft after 70 flights) on 13T.
19T has noticeable drop in the headspeed near end of flight. 20T may be a good choice as it may have more room to allow governor to control more consistent headspeed. This atom motor just don't bog at any pitch pump.
