Steve is the research guru on the Skyfuns, He is the one who burnt out a shit load of motors and ESC's trying to find a reliable motor that would supply serious YEEHAAAAAAAAAAA.
I am running Turnigy 2650 mAh 4S 40C batteries a Turnigy Plush 80 ESC and a 4.5 x 4.5 APC prop with a Scorpion 2221-8 I am pulling 78 amps Static, so it would be a little less in the air.
Here is a link.

These motors are almost indestructable. I get 4 to 5 minutes in the sky with carefull throttle use, but the speed is rediculous.
Steve has upgraded from this motor and is now running 5 and 6S on another Scorpion motor and is touching 300kph.
I crashed my Skyfun at well ove 200 kph and the motor said "Is that all you got mate." The airframe also survived thanks to the glass reinforcement on the nose, the bottom of the fuse and the leading edges of the wings.
Dont forget to upgrade you Servos otherwise your Elevons will fail at high speed.
I am using HK929MG servos and they handle to speed very well.

These little servos are so good I am now using them in all my small aircraft
Check out the Skyfun thread for more technical info that you can absorb.
