and they have up to 8 poles, like the max650 shark20. the big graupner inline 700 (for boat use) used to be a flyware. and they're not expensive, and known to have good efficiency. I will buy one i guess.

4 or 8 poles are great for car use due to the torque, as the motors are often used in "not-full-throttle", and therefore the 2 pole motors are not so good as they tend to get hot. the only problem could be with the esc, as 8 poles mean more work for the esc then 2 pole.

but, the flyware's are not as good looking as some of the chinese ones. but they work well.

maybe you ask them.

When Hobbywing mentioned the 8 pole I was a bit surprised, but I told them 4 pole is plenty. I showed the videos I have with 4 and 6 pole motors and they liked it. I was looking at the Flyware a few days ago and they have some nice motors. I really don't know why Hobbywing is having difficulties finding companies in China that will do a motor for them. I have a few sources, but I'm not going to share them .

That made no sense.
Lutach, what are the specs on the hacker E50 motor?

[Kajman]

I've seen E50, quite nice, but not really mentioned for cars. Question is if we put this increased torque and power on loose ground or we just spin wheels faster not moving forward?

The E40 are marketed for cars and the E50 is just the big brother for 1/8 scale and it's a 4 pole design. I made a video of my MBX5T that I drove on a very loose surface and I was still able to pop wheelies on demand. I've learned a long time ago, that throttle control is very important in a electric vehicle since you get all the torque needed from start ups.

Hey there - sorry to drag this up. Has anyone had chance to run one of these as yet? I have them hear with me but just waiting for some motors to land..

You actually have the 1/8 scale ESC? I was supposed to get one to test, but Hobbywing said they had a problem with them. Things just keeps getting better. Did you get it from Hobbywing or a dealer? Keep us posted on how it does.

[Pete]

Doesnt sound good, yep I have them here..

[speedy]

are there a 80amp version of this esc to ? Because i have seen pics of an hobbywing esc that only could handle 80amp cont ? and 6s lipo ? The come with a brushless 1/8 buggy from casterracing !

[lutach]

I was supposed to get the 150A 6S version, but I've heard of a few problems that HW has to take care of, but I'll have to see as I keep getting only good news lol. Caster went with the 80A 4S and HW said that's all they need.

Wow, When did that come out?

[suicideneil]

BL_RVO has no sense of humour. :P

[BL_RV0]

I do occasionally, usually when i am almost passed out from tired-ness.
Were you expecting me to say something like "your mom is 4 pole" or something?

Geh? You Americans make no sense sometimes...




When lutach mentioned 'sources', I thought it would be funny to twist it around and turn it into 'sauces'. Clearly my comical talents are wasted...
