Something funny coming from rcgroup forum, by Mr Del castillo :)

That said, we are porting some of the Mamba code over to the Phoenix -- we worked on Mamba startup routines for several years -- the Mamba code has to start an enormous inertial load (heavy car!) with a motor that generates very little torque. This was a much much bigger problem than starting a prop, and we needed to do some things in a VERY different way than we did with the original Phoenix software. This is really an end-around for the problem -- rather than trying to tweak the older software, we are upgrading almost the entire start software routines. It's a large job to port this software, as the hardware on the Phoenix and Mamba is very different -- but we feel it will be the best solution long-term, as the Mamba software is much more intelligent about very low RPM motor state.

So I wonder if CM36 motor weren't torquy enought why didn't you go for some kind of outrunner ?
