whatever the case some manufactures are suggesting fdr's of 3 and 4 to one in touring cars... apparently their escs are happy with the 70-80a the motors will draw
maybe we are looking at the wrong numbers when making judgements about bl the k/v number looks good but perhaps the current capacity of the esc is where the real test for a motor... after all you were getting respectable speed out of the novak before the envelope was pushed too far
and perhaps thats the biggest problem with miniaturisation they cant handle the current (and subsequent heat)
hands up all those who seriously believe they could weld with their brushed esc, as that is in essence what a lot of manufacturers claim with their numbers
Wow contact you must have a lot of brushless systems to have tryed them all. As for them to be put on the approved motor list it needs to have be tested and approved.
i.e. the approved list at the monent is only the Novak and the Hacker systems.
And don't worry the summer Nats will have brushless allowed as to almost all races these days.
Coxy.
