The front end is screwed on and the ones I have will need to be glued as well so it doesn't come unscrewed. The rear is held by 3 screws and it seems to be glued as well.

Ill be putting it on my E-revo and see how well it goes...

Motor looks good....if this perform well and lutach pairs this with the new 6S controller...damn ill be ordering from lutach soon

Hey, do you feel like taking the endbell off and getting us a pic of the rotor and the windings? I would like to see what kind of magnet it uses...

Both the ones I have use one single magnet. It's a good thing to do is to open the motor and clean the magnet as I found some small peices of magnet stuck to the rotor. I might even go a bit crazy when the 2 correct motors comes in and wrap the magnet with either Kevlar, Carbon Fiber or some Spectra. The windings are basically the same as most Feigao and KD type motors.

In that case, I doubt it will be much better than a feigao. It will disapate heat better, and the can will not come apart as easy. Those are reason enough to buy this over a smooth, pressed endbell feigao.

Sweet, just need to see how it performs now, and get some temp info frm a good run.

Yes, the extra material will help the motor with heat issues. The bad thing about the 45mm cans is that they won't fit my MBX5T. I'm afraid to try them in my BPP and the extra weight of the truck will probably be too much for the 1/8" shaft.

Can you post some pictures of the two ends of the motor? I would like to know how the endplates are bolted on.

The shop also got motors which look just like the smooth can feigaos

Assuming they are true clones, then the front is bolted on with 5 screws:



and 3 screws on the rear, spaced equally around the edge.

Anyone think the esc's on that site are worth trying? I am looking for a high amp esc to run on 6s with my truggy. I saw this 200amp esc that runs 8s, so it should be good on 6s. I would run machanical brakes seeing how it has no brakes. This would be an alternitive to the monster max, at a much lower price. Please let me know what you think.

Looks exactly like the himodel escs with almost the same specs:

I emailed them about the shaft diameter even before they could send it to me...luckily you mentioned it on this thread

I will try and take photo of the endbells...I must say this is something new to me...I've re-wound brushed motors and break them to their guts but i have never opened a brushless motor....Im just hesitant to break it even before i could test it....

I should be able to run some test maybe Wednesday or so...


lutach ill send you a PM

You will need to make sure the front end is tight or else the moment you apply the throttle, your motor can will spin and that might cause some damages. My 15XL that I got from Hobbycity had that problem and I had to epoxy the fron end before going out to run it. The 45mm motors I got, the front end can be unscrewed very easily and one had about 3mm of play and the other almost 5mm of play. Good thing I have spare spacers.

Anyone have experience with these esc's or the himodel ones? I am really looking into them seeing how cheap they are.

[Pedebeater]

I was wondering if these products come shipped from china or a warehouse in the U.S? The reason I ask is I went through checkout and shipping was only $7.00.


Thank you,
