Yes, same old..

But they can't keep that up forever.

They should look at traxxas; launch a mistic V for 3 days, and bam, there is your system.. Including flashy hopups for the vehicles they put it in..

I saw it on a reply to a Youtube video of an Emaxx running a single MM & 6700kv motor (I think). Im with you though Serum, it cant take a year or more to find a good motor supplier, they could have built and stock-piled their own in that length of time...

They could have had someone OEM a limited number while they were developing their own. There are quite a few brushless motor manufacturers out there, especially if you include the industrial motor segment.

The trouble might be finding a company that will set up a special process for the price and for such a small amount compared to the number of industrial motors they produce.

I agree, but sometimes you find an off the shelf part that works or is close and only requires minor mods to be a good fit.

554/550 motors are not terribly unusual so it's possible. Finding one that was 88%+ efficient or with an accceptable Kv rating are probably the big issues.

Did CC make the MM motors, or does someone else make them for them? A longer can version of their existing range might be suitable, assuming its possible to add more winds for a lower KV rating...

Depending on what the current winds are, they may not need to increase them as the kv will go down as the motor gets bigger for the same wind count.
