Losi 8IGHT Brushless Kit and ESC/Motor Combos

[kulangflow]

Just PM'd one of the Losi reps, Rich Trujillo. He didn't work on the project for the 8E, but this is what he had to say about it:

"Hi Brian,
Here is a link to the motor specs etc.http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSB9557
All the parts should be out in late September.
Although I was not involved with this project, I have seen it run in testing and to me it was just crazy how good it was...yes I know I work for Losi, but I'm telling you, it works awesome and I might actually have to convert my 8 since I have always hated Nitro LOL

Rich"

I asked if he could come up with the actual measurements for us, so hopefully he'll be able to.

Sounds like a relatively large motor. Add to the fact that it's 4 poles, and it's probably pretty nasty torque-wise.

Nice. I can't wait to see rotor comparison pictures if anyone takes the dive on at least this motor.

So that's just a tad smaller than a 1515 Neu?
