Very interesting Setup from Mega Motors

[jhautz]

Seems to me that this electrical debate was not the point of his orignal post as there is nothing electricly unique about the motor. vs any other brushless motor. Its just a little lower KV than most here run, and some very unclear motor specs. (the observation of which kicked of the whole electical debate)

That said...

The setup is definatly a very simple way of doing an electric conversion using the standard nitro motor mounts. The mount however is limiting as far as gearing chioces. The chassis slots for the nitro mount are the full extent of the adjustability. It would basically force you to run the same gearing as the nitro motors.

The picture of the system set up in a buggy has a few inconsistancies from the description and the picture of the actual motor/heatsink/mount assembly. The assembled buggy picture doesn't show a heatsink on the motor like the motor picture above. Everything in the description referes to Lipoly voltages, but the setup shows 2 x 6 cell packs. The wires dont apear to be coming out the front of the motor in the assembly photo. Bottom line, I think the layout of the whole assembly poor. Battery weight is way out to the sides(but it is balanced side to side and front to back)

The wires coming from the front of the motor right by the pinion looks like its tempting fate to me. There had to be a reason for it, but I cant figure what it is.

Overall, It looks like they were going for the no brainer brushless conversion and stopped short of making it a no brainer.

My guess is they won't sell to many of these. Interesting idea though.
