8 Pole Heli Motor in an E Revo?

Ok,this is a really stupid question,but I have never seen or used one before so I guess it's a legitimate question? What makes an outrunner an outrunner? And what benefits do they provide over a typical Bl setup,and why are the kv's so low when compared to a regular Bl on the same battery? Aside from my questions,that is a good looking setup Sikeston!--Josh

pull a regular motor inside out, the magnets are mounted in the can and the outside of the can spins. the can is connected to the motor shaft to turn the pinion, the stationary part of the motor is the stator with the wires and bearings..
