No, this particular motor and wind is for an airplane application, it wasn't designed for a car application. For car applications we will use a .5Y wind and probably a shorter rotor.

We don't want people playing with 100VDC sources.

Would a .5y wind double the kv? So this would be for use with the XL HV (my name for it, what are you calling it?) on 12s lipo?

Just wanted to say it is great having the "Big Cheese" of a company here answering all of our questions!!! Keep up the good work, I am sure it will pay off (literally)!!!

Sounds like the perfect motor for my electric bike!

Just need to find a 100v sensorless controller...

That's not a problem. Just put a disclaimer on the package/site. And if people choose to ignore the warnings, well, that's when Darwin's theory takes over.

Seriously, nativepaul's suggestion of having three seperate power lead pairs for 3 10s packs sounds like a good idea. Just need something like a Hyperion 1030i "Trio+" (400w x 3) to charge them.

Parallel charging?
