Until either the motor or ESC fails, then youll need one of each to replace it. Plus knowing Orion, this will be $500, and out of stock everywhere.

It's unsensored and will reportedly be $100 per Orion

Either way nobody that is a halfway serious racer will use one of these.

Someone posted a similar deal for airplane use recently, and if I remember correctly predicted it would come to cars. Nailed it.

Not so great for those who switch motor winds depending. Also not sure if it fits into a class, aren't many of the popular 4 poles larger than 540 sized?

But I'm sure there is some market and that's fine. Racing, eh. Is it unfair to point out there is a market for RCs with a one board steering, ESC, and Rx too?

Its a easy/cool setup it seem's and I'm sure it will be great for the market its aimed at which I'm assuming is not serious racers.

If it doesn't have heat issues...i'ld buy one....but i doubt it will have torque

I don't know what market need this product fills. For bashing, you can go cheaper than $100 and arrive at similar or better quality with products out there. Is it waterproof? If so, then maybe the lack of hassle and basher-readiness will appeal to some.

This is obviously not going to appeal to many racers as others has noted. If a racer wants to save wiring, I guess that airtronics combined esc receiver works if you have the proper radio.

Just think how far that thing would stick out the side of say a touring car causing massive L/R balance issues. I can't really imagine a scenario where this setup would benefit?? Personally I hate all in one solutions - they aren't cost effective anyway you look at it. It'll always fail in only one part of it rendering the rest useless. I can't see this being very popular.

The idea is not new, many brushed airplane motors can be found with an attached ESC

I think the first place I could us it would be in a scale crawler, then maybe a tank or scale boat.
I would like to see a link to the plane motor.

If you mean the one I mentioned, post #11 by nexxus in this thread:

Just have to decide where to hide the ESC, in the motor or receiver.

Dave H, I think I jumped the gun... Roelof was the one that made the comment and its brushed units not brushless. O well.

Some time I plane on doing a scale 1/10 NASCAR or dessert truck out of S&K brass tubing, that I think would be cool. I know hiding esc under dash will help conceal it, but if its on the motor... bing !

Dave H

That would be cool. Pan car I assume for Nascar? Hopefully length wouldn't be a problem fitting it in. (I only have older 1/12 stuff for reference, which are fairly snug fitting)
