Brushless Boy..

I'm going to experiment with a few larger outrunner motors from Hobby City on my Redcat Rampage. I'll post results as soon as I get things all hooked up. I'm also using the Sentillion ESC and figure that with up to 12s to play with, I have room to ramp up the voltage on a direct drive (instead of center diff) setup with two packs on either side of the mounted motor. We'll see..

Startup will be your enemy. If you could figure out how to utilize some sort of clutch on each end of the motor, well that would work great. Esc startup is on the of big hurdles to direct to diff drive, and plane escs do not have very good startup profiles anyways...
