8 Pole Heli Motor in an E Revo?

I've also been fascinated with outrunners and thought about using them on trucks, but the KV values are a bit low unless you go 6S or 8S. I've been using them on my airplanes and they work great. I wonder if any of Castle outrunners that they have on sale would work well in any of these trucks?

One of the reasons I will buy Castle's new 8S Car Controller, is for this reason.

8S on some of these outrunners will be insane.

I ordered one of the Castle Outrunners to try. It's the 34 38 1100kv version.

I'm liking your idea. I might have to pick one up. I bet that thing stays ice cold on 8S at the end of the run. I was thinking about the 1800kv version too, but it looks a bit smaller in size. Have you figured out their sizing yet? Is it a 34mm or 42.5mm in diameter.

Also do you guys know of any rpm limits on these motors? I havent tried spinning any of my outrunners over 15k rpm yet.
