"new" losi Xcelorin 1700kv

Wow, that thing is CRAZY. Are those 8mm bearings? and the shaft is 8mm? , it's the biggest I've seen in 1/8 motors.
PS: this was what it looked like on my computer. Thanks for the awesome pics.

hey Himalaya,

yep, the shaft is about 8mm. The "old" motor didn't have those bushings, the shaft measured 8mm. So this one's diameter is a bit less then 8mm (8mm bearings). The bearing at the front endbell is a standard size, 8x5x16 mm, you get them everywhere. the back one is 8x4x15 I think. in my "old" losi, I 've replaced the bearings with ceramic ones.

I always had to smile, when people talk about the "big" (but actually small, regarding the power) bearings of their Medusas, CC-Neu etc... Mine is bigger, Size DOES matter

cheers
