That sucks, you have to be logged in to view the vid. Does he have a you tube or photobucket link?

Sorry, I can't. The video is copyrighted.

Can't tell if it works but try this:

Shucks, video "not found on this server". Question: will they have "movable" shafts so they can be set up to drive off both ends? Thanks, Don

No, but they will have a mount that will allow driving a prop off the back of the motor.

BTW: Tim gets about 4 minutes of flight time off the 12S 5000mah 40C battery. 5HP average, 12HP peaks. Over 200A under high load maneuvers, about 15A hover.

I think his idea here is to attach a drive cup to each end of the shaft, so the motor could be placed in the center of a car/truck/buggy without any reduction. What we call "direct-drive-to-diff".

Provided the shaft is not a press fit alone.

Provided the shaft has set screws, then it is moveable or replaceable.

Just looking at the pictures, I believe mods are possible.

I'm just waiting for them to be released.

Thanks for the vid Patrick. Anyone who has the tiniest interest in heli's should join helifreak, it's a great forum.

That's some serious power on a huge heli!

The above pic said Q1 2009, now it's Q1 2010, one full year has passed.

Actually I am asking for the availability of the CC-Neu 2025 inrunner motor, been waiting for a while.

That video is amazing. After 6 months and hundreds of hours on the sim I can now hover in place tail in with a 450 heli and putt around a bit. Learning how to fly helis take a lot of dedication and research.
I definetly would like to see some Castle offerings in the outrunner department. Right now a castle motor for a 450 size heli would be nice and a couple of outrunners in the 35 x 30mm range for some nice 3d flying.

Did this outrunner line "project" fall off the back burner?

Kind of -- we decided the 34mm motors were not really a good fit.

We have a 52mm and a 45mm motor being released shortly (TRex 700 and TRex 600 applications)

After those, we are doing some smaller motors pretty soon...

Thanx!
