I have hit up a few companies to make sensored outrunners, and a few can do it. The problem is that Novak can't/won't tell me how to set up the sensor so that it will commutate properly, and I can't get figures for the max commutation rate on the crawler ESC. Castle could make both ESC and motor now, so they are the next natural choice.

Reason for outrunner vs inrunner in my mind- same RPM per volt for a crawler but with a much larger torque arm and higher commutation cycle/revolution. Basically the amp draw could be higher with an outrunner running at the same speed as a comparable inrunner.
