Pro Motors? Patrick?

[TexasSP]

Got a question for Patrick or anyone can speculate.

I am just wondering that since CC will be coming out with the neu designed purpose built motor for the Monster, is there any chance that similar motors will be made for 1/10th scale? It would be nice to have a higher quality motor to pair with the MM that is a neu design without the neu price.

I know that in the end the medusa's seem like they fit the bill, but I was wondering what CC's plans are, if any.

If they do it will have to be rebuildable and have logo stamped on endbell, it will have to be Y wind and 2 pole, as well as solder posts over wires coming out the can. This is for roar legality, RC Pro is open to all brushless, no matter the setup

I really hope they do make a ROAR legal brushless motor. Maybe that is why they list the Y series of 1512 and 1515 motors? Thinking of the future with there Neus for a possible brushless 1/8 class?

ive never really understood the difference (except for the terms) but why does it matter(i.e. roar could have legalised both y and d motors...)
sorry for the stupid question.

[TexasSP]

because roar does more to hold the hobby back than help it progress.

Thankfully, most people out there don't race in roar sanctioned classes if they even race at all. Most of the hobby is made up of bashers anyway. I could care less if the motors are roar compliant or not. Most of what I run or am interested in running is not roar compliant.

the lipo issue is relivant, but banning senosrless and the like seems as if novak paid them well...

I can't blame them, can you imagine trying to drive a powerful sensorless setup? With the improvements in lipo that are coming, a really powerful car could be built. But racing is usually trying to get the cars similar, so that driver skill is what is competing, not who has the most powerful car.

[tc3_racer_001]

true. but you DO (proven fact) go faster with a less powerful car that can be controlled rather than some stupidly high powered setup that spends most of its time outside the fastest line. ill leave it at this, dont care for a big thread in the wrong thread!

This is true, only so much power can be handled by the current crop of electric on road cars. Imagine if 1/8 scale electric on road became popular! I can easily see some big power systems, and expansive tracks too. Current 10th cars are only good for a certain size track and that is what the current selection of roar legal stuff caters to.

theres one that was built in brisbane and the vid on youtube makes it look slow. its scary fast and if it hit someone, expect at least a week in hospital. I was talking to one of the guys in the vid who was mashalling and he reconed that if such a class existed he would refuse to marshal, just becuase u cant hear them coming... and for draining 3 high capacity lipos in less than 6 minutes... well... i can think of more fun things to do with the hr or so waiting for them to recharge!

Not sure what you're referring to - but Roar has not banned sensorless systems. Sensorless motors and controllers are completely roar legal assuming they fall in to their other restrictions (rotor diameter, solder points, company name stamped on endbell, and most of all, rebuildable).

I'd be surprised if they came out with any "pro" 1/10th motors unless you considered castle-style neu 1509/1506 motors to fit that category. Though, who knows.

Yeah, because after 10,000 hours of running, I'm going to need some new bearings.

haha. Go brushless. Still, though... If you're serving your motor any kind of justice it's bound to get a little dirty once in a while. It''s nice to be able to flush any grime and extra oil away.

does anyone know how much this castle neu is going to be?

Around the same price as the current Neu's. The motors coming out from Tekno/Neu are the same price
