[brushlessboy16]

Looks like a plane version of the 2200...

THe vertigo motors were outrunners last time I checked

The 2200Kv motor is a 1515 series (1.5" stator, 1.5" rotor)

The 1717 is slightly larger in both diameter and rotor length. Kvs are lower (about 1500Kv for a 1 turn motor.)

Available soon.

patrick, looks like you have the larger motor segment covered, but when are you going to release some ~60mm motors? Also how about some slotted, 4 pole 50mm motors?

Hmmm, something like this?



That's a 1512, a 1717, and a 2025 motor side-by-side.

And the OD on the end-bell for the 2025:

Good grief! That 2025 motor would make a good e-bike motor and would probably carry my fat butt around, let alone an r/c!

Linc's right; I was thinking of something a bit smaller. Basically a line of motors in between the CM36 series and the 15xx series. Medusa had a solid line of motors in that segment; the 36-50's were stronger than the CM36 motors (sorry to say that here, but it's true), so were a better choice for heavier 10th scales (eg: Slash) or smaller 4WD vehicles (eg: CRT.5). I tried a CM36 4600 motor on 2s and 3s in my CRT.5 and couldn't gear it low enough to keep the motor and ESC cool, whereas the 36-50-3300 stays cool and has noticeably more torque, even geared a little aggressively. Medusa's 36-60mm motors were good for the really light-weight buggies or overpowered 10th scales (or allowed higher gearing for 10th scale speed freaks). In short, that would mean 1506/1509 or 1409 sizes if using Neu ratings.
