Well, it removes the tranny and gives more chassis space. It is simpler, so there is less to break. Only have the diff gears to worry about. And it appears that the outrunners are much more effecient per dollar than other motors. I am sure that there are more advantages!

VWT4, what settings do you have on the mm to get it to startup well? I have heard that the mm does not like outrunners?

Yes, it removes total weight and a more important thing: the tranny that is rotating mass.

The best configuration for outrunners in my opinion is start power high and timing highest. A high timing is very important for more than 2 poles motors and the MT Dragon is a 12 poler.

Tomorrow I will try the motor with a Quark 125 and a Schulze 18.149.
