Patrick,

What's that polished silver motor doing behind the big one?

It's another motor I can't talk about. :P

Hmm, good guess by me! Do you plan to replace the cm35 motors with the 13 series? Or will you just sell them separately?

I think the 13 series would be a better option, the finned can (figured CC would stick with finned cans for the car motors) would be about the same diameter as a regular 540 can (36mm OD). Plus the smaller diameter rotor will spin up faster, and the 4 pole design will have plenty of torque.

But it is another motor that exists!

That's exactly why i asked specifically for a smaller motor, better torque band for 1/10 cars. The 14 series is only a 15 series with a slimmer can

Some sensored 4 pole motors would be very cool. The MMP with a low kv motor could also be packaged as a crawler/low speed setup. Sensored outrunner motors or a hybrid style (think align but better made) motor would be great for anything that needs good low speed control (robotics applications also). As versatile as the MMP is a good selection of motor designs/styles would be very nice! And CC pricing is great too!

The 14 series always seemed like a bad idea, too close to the 15 series, not much benefit.

A 10th scale 4 pole sensored motor? ROAR allows them.

Yea, I'm wanting one as well.

[riverat1540]

this is what i have been looking for, 1717 is definatly on my list for my heavy ass muggy as well

[bcltoys]

What about lower kv 1515 size motors like 2.5d size
