Outrunner General Info

[suicideneil]

What do you mean, Im always in a mood (one word: females).

Anyway, for.... $50, I'll assemble a list of every outrunner build and piece of useful info you could possibly want (though in order to find it I will be using google, the search feature, and good old fashioned detective work, hint hint).

Generally speaking though, outrunner builds are more of a curiosity- saves abit of weight, gains you a bit of power, quieten downs the drive train noise, but also adds a certain degree of complexity that cant just be taught or explained; you learn as you go along, so it isnt as simple as copying a normal conversion or building a normal inrunner setup.

I've never heard it described like this.

Very interesting!

I wouldn't mind a "master pile" of outrunner information either. I find myself constantly researching and checking out new motors when they come out.

I guess I'm looking for that brand new configuration with the mysterious pole count and wind that's going to do what no other motor has ever done!

LOL

I remember about a year ago, someone posted a link to a MASTER list of motor information.

My old computer went down to a lightning strike power surge. I'm pretty sure I had it saved on there.

Does anyone remember/know where this is?

It had ALL kinds of motors on it, their sizes, kv's, specs, etc.... on it

I think I remember the list you are talking about- god knows where that was posted to exactly though, but its floating around here somewhere in a thread.

I didnt mean to belittle yours or anyone else outrunner prpjects though with the 'curiosity' comment, I just ment that they are very 'one-off' setups at the moment and far from the norm, plus they arent simpler or cheaper to do than a normal setup, due to the gearing/voltage/kv/motor mount issues etc etc. I think its that extra completixity that makes them more fun build to watch, and learn from, but without a specific plan or idea of what a user wants to achieve with a setup like that, it doesnt help much to simply rattle off a list of other builds...

Sike is the man to talk to though, thats for sure...

Thanks Neil for your worthless comments.

what neil is saying is %100 percent correct, albeit with a little attitude, but as he says, there is a woman involved. nuff said. Anyway.... an outruner setup lacks the adjustibility of gearing and therefore has to be a very specific and thought out build. its not for noobs, and research is neccasary. The main tool you need is the speed calculator http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2259 and then it's matching kv with voltage and desired speed. the search feature was included for this reason

p.s.

this is the place to go for high end brushless. An outrunner sub-forum isn't a bad idea. mods??

I would like one of each please! LOL
