have you guys seen a brushless motor this big?

To be honest a Tesla Car motor trumps those...



Quick Look at Tesla's Insides
Number 1 on the photo above is the AC electric motor. It might look a bit like a vacuum cleaner, but this beast can generate 248 hp (185 kW), spin up to 13,000 RPM, and its max torque of 200 ft-lb is produced from 0-6,000 RPM.

Number 2 is the transmission. After some problems and a temporary two-speed transmission, the Roadster now will have a one-speed transmission with a drive ratio of 8.27:1 that allows it to do 0 to 60 mph in around 4 seconds.

Number 3 (above and below) is the power electronics module. One of its tasks is to recapture energy during braking to recharge the batteries, and to make sure that acceleration during a fast start stays under control and that everything stays smooth (if the car wasn't programmed to hold back, it could be downright unpleasant for the people on board).

Number 4 (above and below) is the battery pack. 6,831 lithium-ion cells arranged into 11 modules connected in series with a lot of safety sensors and cooling systems to avoid catastrophic cell failures. Full charge time is around 3½ hours, it contains about about 53 kW·h of energy, and it weights between 900 and 1000 lb (400-450 kg). Estimated life: over 100,000 miles (160,000 km).
