Thanks Mr. Patrick....

Yep, that's right. We will be offering others, but those will be the first two.

Will the motors only be avalible as a combo or will they be sold seperatly?

Thanks... Any idea of pricing on the motors by themselves? Somewhere between $100 to $200...

It was an HV.

An HV MMM? Release date? Preorders?


I kid, I kid

[What's_nitro?]

Roughly how long would you say a Neu could operate for at say 100,000 rpm? I know they are only rated for 60,000, but just once I want to hear what 100,000 rpm sounds like with a big motor. Would one need to upgrade the bearings? Just curious...

OK---

1. Available as combos and alone.

2. HV MMM -- yes, it is coming. Someday. Not real soon.

3. Watch for motor pricing on our website. They were a little more expensive to build than we originally thought.

4. Some of our samples didn't even make 100,000 -- they failed in the 85-90K RPM range. So, I can't recommend ever running the motors over 60K RPM.

Thanx!

Thanks for the reply, is there a pre-order soon on the motors? (I will be getting the 1512 2600kv asap)

When the motors failed during testing was it due to bearings or some other component like magnets seperating?

Well, we've never had a bearing failure during testing. We are using Japanese CNC quality bearings that are rated to above 100K RPM.

It's always a magnet (epoxy, Kevlar wrap, cracking, etc.) failure at high RPM.
