sensored motor
 

hey, just wanted to ask has anyone used this motor? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11059 and how good is it? Or would i be better off going for somrthing more expensive but better.
thanks for reading

That doesn't look that cheap to me and as it's not on the list (as far as I can see) you couldn't use it anywhere running to BRCA / EFRA rules.

There are several of options for budget / mid priced brushless motors from the big players at the moment with more to come shortly (belive Orion are doing a sportsman type motor soon???). Have a look around some of the UK shops websites and you will find them (JE Spares carry a good range). It is much more likely that a motor on general sale in the UK will go on to the list (motor list is revised through the year I believe, just the cell list that is an annual thin) than something like that in you link.

If your after something that is a good "club" motor then have a look at the HobbyWing link in my sig ... some great motors at very keen prices (again I believe they missed the list in Jan by a few days but have been submitted for the next revision).

thanks, where is the list for brca legal motors?

http://www.brca.org/?q=content/homol...1-updates/1402

all homologated products are on these lists .... cells are added in Jan, motors a few times a year I think.

Hope that helps.

thanks, is this http://www.modelsport.co.uk/speed-pa...products/36286 brca legal? If it is what esc should i be using with it?

I'm not sure, check the list (I'm not near a proper PC so can't load the list at the moment). I believe they are but not 100%.

As for ESC if your on a budget then definitely the HobbyWing 120A V2.1 ... £100 and will happily run a 5.5 in 4wd with plenty to spare if you ever want that sort of grunt in the future. Silky smooth too (basically Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro but from the original manufacture).

thanks mate thats awsome, £100 is a good price aswell
