Like has anyone gone from an car running an inrunner, then bolted an outrunner in its place, geared it up to a similar speed, and compared performance?
The application argument is the most important one from my perspective.
For example, right now I am building from the ground up an outrunner-powered belt-driven truggy with no gear reduction aside from the main pulleys. The kv on the outrunner is 360, and it will be powered by a 6s Lipo.
An outrunner would spin much too fast for this design, and would require at least a pinion/spur. One of my objectives with this project is to make it as quiet as possible, not for any real reason, just because I can.
