1/8 Buggy w/ a Outrunner Motor

[BrianG]

It would probably be better for a direct drive type of system. For instance; a typical outrunner KV is 600. Using a 4s pack gets it to 8800 rpm. Use a buggy diff connected directly to the motor shaft. With that 3.3:1 ratio and using typical 5.65" tires, top speed would be about 48mph.

Its a Ma and Pa shop, but great product for great prices. Sometimes you have to wait a few days for shipping if he doesnt have what you ordered in stock cuz he has to make it for you. He will even do custom formed shapes for you if you give him a drawing. That costs a bit more, but I can see making some really slick looking parts like that. Overall, great place to deal with IMO.

you'd need a spur for the pinion

On the lower kv outrunners, sorry should've quoted

You could simply make/get an adaptor to attach the drive shaft directly to the motor shaft without the use of a pinion/spur arrangement...

That sounds interesting...2 brushless outrunners back to back driving front and rear driveshafts via a coupler of some sort....you'd need two discreet esc's but why not ??

Why would you need two motors? Aren't there motors out there with shafts on both ends?

I don't honestly know.My exposure to outrunners is from the aircraft realm and none that I can think of have shafts exiting both ends long enough to couple to.???
