Can Someone Help Identify this Brushless Mystery Motor?

[sikeston34m]

I just picked this up from Ebay. At $15 bucks with free shipping, I couldn't resist.

It is a Mystery, even he didn't know what it is. I don't recognize it.

It is a good flexible size that should fit a number of vehicles.

He says it is 45mm long, 39mm in diameter and has a 20mm long shaft. Appears to be a 5mm shaft. Hmmmmmmmm........

Maybe if you remove the Carbon Fiber lable off it may say something!?

No, it comes like that. I can't remember where I saw them though. I'll see what I can find.

Do you know about what size car this motor is made for? It will help narrow down the search quite a bit....

It's probably for a plane.

I've seen the same kinda motors on ebay before, but I never paid much attention as to their specs or anything.

[_paralyzed_]

did you want to learn the identity or help identify it? For the latter I would dye it's hair bright yellow and get its nose pierced, it worked for me in high school

I seen mini sized with the blue ends and CF tube for can (rc18/mini t) but i can't remember the name sorry

Thanks for the input guys.

When I get it, I'll run it in my Rustler or something and see how it compares to motors that I've had experience with.

I found out the maker of the motor. It is a HiMax outrunner. That model is about 3 years old.
It is similar to this, The can style was the givaway. Most makers use certain cans for thier products. The CF Decal just didnt look right with the motor.

I'm pretty sure it comes with the carbon fiber, but I'm not 100% sure.

That looks like one of the Model Motors MiniAC brushless motors, they have the blue anodized end caps, and carbon fibre casings. The only thig is that the MiniAC motors only come in the "300" sized versions, which are a fair bit smaller in diameter than the one you have there....
