8 Pole Heli Motor in an E Revo?

[reno911]

I always liked the idea of an outrunner used on surface rc's. Got to get a videos of that revo with that in it for us.

Quick Q. What if a rock got in and wedged itself between the chassis and the motor?

Here's a neat animation on how outrunner motors work.

I have had a rock get stuck in other setups.

The rock gets wedged and the motor just keeps powering on. What happens? It scratches the rotating can.

With this setup, the motor is up pretty good. So it would take a pretty big rock.

You would just about have to use a pair of vice grips to lock this motor. I have tried holding one to prevent it from turning, just to see how powerful they are. It does a burnout on your skin.
