720 size Losi motor
 

Losi's new 1/8 Xcelorin motor is a 720 size. what size is this? what are the dimensions? All other 1/8 motors i have seen say they are 550 size and 1/10 motors are 540 size. what does this number mean? how is it come up with? is the Losi motor larger than a 1515 Neu?

it confusing me too :(
36mm diam motors are 540 size
about 550size I heard only about brushed motors
720 is mystic for me
Interesting to know what is real size and why Losi makes some own standart...

they have some brushed 700 or so motors on Kershaws web site...I think they might be the same size as a cordless drill motor

Got any pics of it yet?

im uploading pictures right now in the manual it calls it a 670 motor

The cool thing is th emotor has screw holes for 3mm or 4mm screws

Nice work thanks.

Looks like a decent motor. Wonder if it's a rebadged/custom Feigao? About the size of a non-finned Neu 1515. Same slotted stator, slot counts, and pole counts as Neu too.

I do like the multiple screw options, but not the amount of exposed connections on the back.

the exposed connections are with the end cover off, a couple pics up you can kinda see the cover. IMO the three solder standoffs should be standard on motors, so we can run our own wiring and not worry about those stiff tinned leads we are use to. A nice feature:yes:

Ok, as long as there is a cover. :smile:

Thanx for the pics.

There is an interesting feature mentioned on the box -> Connector: Direct soldier tabs

soldier <-> solder

Seems as if they were in a rush with their packaging. i hope this holds not true for the motor itself ;-)

Glad to see that I am not the only one misspelling solder!:whistle:

has anyone reviewed these?

I desperately need a low kv motor for my 12-13 pound muggy, and the 80mm medusa's are taking forever. I wonder if the xcelorin 1300kv would match a medusa 80mm1100kv.

:lol:

thats cool, thanks for takeing the measurments

not a problem

Yous gotsa makes sure you soldier them tabs real good or they'm flame up on ya.

Soldier? As in military?

I think you mean solder.

Losi stuffed up, I remember reading about it on Horizon or somewhere. It is actually a 670 motor meaning it is 67mm long

thanks for the pics.

if 670 sized motor means 67mm long then should a 550 size be 55mm long? cuz i know the 550 motors are longer than that. my 1515 Neu is right about 66-67mm long if i recall.

the Castle Neu's are 2650kv = 67mm long and 2200kv = 75mm long (the "bad boy" according to castle)

and on the Losi box in the pics posted it says 670 motor but in almost all the adds i have seen it says a 720 motor. so is the 720 size referring to the 1300kv and that it is 72mm long? and the 670 is the 2100kv, right?

regardless, i guess my main question was answered and that was are the losi motors basically the same size as any other 1/8 motor. it looks like it. calling it a 670 or a 720 made it sound huge when everything else i have seen is called a 550.

Tricky advertising, eh?

I have the 1300 kv motor on 5s 6000 polyquest in my 8ight-T. Geared 16/50, very nice motor, no cogging with lowest motor timing using a V2 MMM. Great speed and punch. So far I've timed the last two runs, got 30 minutes first time, 31 second, this is on a track in race conditions. Low low temps, warmish maybe. Going to try 15/45 and see how it runs.

Who knows, maybe these are just as good as the Neus. It's not rocket science to copy off another design that works. Castle and Tekno did it. The only question is build quality.

I was really interested in these motors. I'd take an xcelorin 2100kv over a ccn 1515 1y. Just to be different.:lol:

yeah...has anyone ran one of these in a MT?

I made the same type thread on the Traxxas forum a few hours ago before I saw this one. I haven't gotten much of a response yet... so this thread is cool! Also im new to RCM!

sooo??...

looks decent, can it handle 6s though? What is the price? Is there a combo?

i still what to see whats on the inside of these motors. ive looked and cant find any pics of the internals anywhere.
