Ok, here's a showcase for you guys. Maybe you will see why I'm excited about Castle's new outrunner line.
First up is where it all began for me and outrunners. The E maxx with an outrunner directly connected to the transmission input shaft. Actually the motor shaft and the input shaft are the same.
Next up, is the Revo Direct Drive to Diff Build. Powered by a custom wound AXI 4130. It kept blowing the bearings on the RCM diffs in about 2 runs. The Ceramic Nitride bearings faired no better. Differential toughness is gonna have to catch up before this setup really works well. Show me an inrunner that explodes diffs like this.
