Heya, I was just wondering what the most powerful electric motor designed for RC cars is.

Brushed, brushless, etc.

Depends on what kind of motor you are looking for. 1/10 scale or 1/8th scale? For 1/10 scale this is really powerful: http://www.lrp.cc/en/products/electr...d-30t/details/

For 1/8 scale I am not really sure but this seems very powerful: http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...le_motors.html

tekin makes a 2.5 for 1/10 scale

Neu 2215 BL motor is being used for Baja conversions - 8S and higher, 3.4continuous HP and 6.7HP surge (2500watts and 5000watts). Apparently not an off the shelf item though.

The LRP still has 60 more watts power than the Tekin

Possibly best power to weight ratio is what is meant by most powerful.

Is the Mamba Monster 2200kv one of the most powerful el motor systems?

Since Castle doesn't provide real specs, if you look at Neus site for a 1515 1y motor (which the same as the Castle 2200kv), that says the rating is 1250watts continuous and 2500 surge watts. Thats ~1.7HP continuous and ~3.4HP surge.

Guess CC is full of BS then.

Was thinking of putting a 1527 motor in the Flux. How do you suppose that'll work out with the CC esc? And general performance.. Will it flip around 3 times with that? :P

Now that I realize the specs on the 2200 are posted on Neus site and it includes surge watts, it looks like that CC statement you pointed out in your other thread is advertising BS. Neus figures sure don't say that.

Why would you spend $315+ to get a motor for the purpose of doing backflips? It may just shred the drive train everytime you squeeze the trigger and try to do one anyway.

maybe its less efficient than the tekin and uses more watts to get less rpm (joking)lol

I did read that Neu's motors aren't really designed for cars, just planes/helis/boats. But it would be interesting to see the power of some of the larger ones. With a powerful drive train it'd be usable I guess -- it's in an Emaxx on youtube, which seems to be 100% driveable and controllable. I don't know why though.

Anyhow, it would indeed cost tons of money. I think the Flux chassi would handle it, maybe I'd need stronger drive trains though. The comment about backflips was a joke.

Neu motors work fine in cars, they are far more efficient than most motors so run cooler and can be pushed more without overheating.
