The only brushless ESC's I've ever used are Castle, CCC (cheap chinese crap/copies), and two Novaks that are useless without a sensor cable. The Mamba Max Pro, Sidewinder (SV1), Mamba Monster and Phoenix ICE 100 all handle my little 6-pole (Hobbyking 500H) and my bigger 8-pole (Turnigy T600). I haven't the money to get a 'quality' outrunner yet, or test with other ESC's.

There's not much of a serious RC scene on my island, everyone I know with a brushless RC either has Castle, CCC, Novak, HPI or TRX ESC so I don't have much to work with. Our only LHS is an HPI/Traxxas dealer too.

thanks for the link, I'm reading it right now. I've gone through several winding tutorials, I'll go through them again. (:

As for the doorknob analogy...I get how the torque will increase by having the magnets further from the shaft, but does this translate into Kv? By making a motor 'bigger' (larger diameter) and keeping everything else the same, does Kv drop?

Thanks for the information on timing, that was the kind of response I was looking for. Physics on why it works, not 'it just does'. Will a heavier can tolerate more advance timing, or is it just down to the electro/permanent magnet configuration?

So much information, I love it!
