For those who always wanted the torque of a Brushless Outrunner.....

[eVaDeR85]

Horizon Hobby is now carrying Cyclon Brushless outrunner motors of various Kv rating made to be used in 1/10 scale vehicle or any other various applications. From the looks they are an adaptation from their Heli line of brushless outrunners for use in Vehicles.

I saw this these in one of those catalogs that Horizon sends out everynow and then decided to search their site and let the rest of the RC World know that Brushless Outrunners are no longer just for RC Air use anymore with these new motors designed for use in vehicles using sensorless brushless ESC's.

EDIT - It appears this is kind of old news so still...you can feel free to leave comments lol. I just thought that was neat.

It notes on the site that the 2500Kv would be good for the e-maxx. I'm assuming that's because it has more torque than the higher Kv motors, so would the 2000Kv be even better?

Yes with more cells the 2000Kv motor would be capable of even more power output then the 2500. As the Kv goes down you can increase voltage and the more efficient the motor is at turning voltage and current into mechanical power.

The 2500 and 2000 are also physically longer (more magnetic surface area, which translates into more torque) than the 5000kv or 4000kv car motors. Voltage is also a factor like already mentioned.

Ah, ok. Thanks
