good luck......

Buy a used motor for that...

Yeah, it's true.. I second that.. You do get what you pay for....

i think it was neil that used this motor in his e maxx build

If you want a feigao motor, you have to keep them around 30,000rpm for decently reliable performance.

I would choose a feigao over a bidproduct motor, feigaos have at least a segmented rotor; the wanderer are not that bad, I used to have a small wanderer, had a well balanced rotor (most of the chinese motors are not balanced), good overall quality. the bidproduct ones have great looks, but...

if you want to throw away your money, just go for a kd at HK...

yeah feigaos are balanced and segmented. they are good motors they tend to be on the warm side but the preform well. my back up motor is a feigao and its a good strong motor and they are the best cheap motor.

talk to linc... he probably has more than a few motors FS:lol:


if not, I can part ways with a used 70mm 2000kv medusa:wink:

Used medusa will be your best bet. Then a used CC/Neu.

The CC/Neu motors are cheap alternatives to Neu, so I don't think you'll be anywhere clost to that except for a medusa.

Feigao's do not have segmented rotors, they are simply made from multiple set size chunks... XL is three pieces, L cans are two, and S are one piece. IIRC.

A segmented rotor will have small thin magnet 'segments' that make up a larger one... those of you that don't know what it would do; a larger magnet segment will have excess 'eddy currents' caused by high frequency switching (from ESC, both the carrier frequency: PWM, and the pole switching)... now when you reduce the size of these pieces, you reduce the eddy currents, thus less heat is created. A 'sintered' rotor is the best for this as the 'segments' are very small, particles really... so you can see how this would create the least amount of heat created by eddy currents.

what about winding your own motor? is that a difficult task? Anyone here do it or done it?

You can wind your own outrunner type motor, much easier. An inrunner is a different story, you need special tools/jigs to do a proper job...
