I find these prices really interesting. They appear to be geared to the airplane crowd, so I'm guessing there's no reverse with the ESC's. I really don't know about brushless specs (yet), but if these are comprable, the prices sure make you question the logic of spending $150 for a motor and ESC. | |

question is. will it bolt right up to the transmission in your rig? the revolver does. does it have a warranty or could you even get it serviced? as cheap as those are you are probably better off spending the money and getting something you know will work when you get it. |

I think todd's right; those ESCs are most likely forward only. And the motors are all in-runners running at least 3000Kv whereas the appropriate outrunners spin at about 1000Kv or less. And I am a believer in "you get what you paid for" when it comes to certain things. Castle Creations has excellent customer service and JRH is obviously gonna stand behind anything he sells. |

FYI - If you go back a catagory on the same site, they have a seperate page for Outrunner motors, a whole bunch to pick from, all for $32 each. Here's a link>>> http://nitroplanes.com/brmo.html |

They could give the motors away and I'd still buy from Holmes Hobbies. I'm a firm beliver in "you get what you pay for" JRH's service and support is above and beyond great. When it comes to RC electrics....you can't beat Holmes Hobbies,period,end of story.

It does have a 3.2mm shaft, like the other Hacker knockoffs on the page. The mounting pattern would probably be 17 or 18mm and would need an adaptor plate. If you could mount it up you would be good to go. All the other outrunners on there have 3mm shaft, hard to find pinions for. The esc's are in fact air escs and do not have reverse, nor would they handle the burst current that cars dish out from a dead stop. Good find though, it is always nice to have more choices for any rig. And thanks for the kind words fellas, I'm just here to help. Please give me a swift kick in the rear if I ever get too busy to help or too high and mighty to give honest unbiased opinion about product. |

but I have run 2820's and maxx size tires NO problem through the mamba. It will peak 150 amps for a second no problem. The only guy that I know of that has shut the Mamba down is raptorman- with those HUGE tires and the mpjet 2820.

Obviously everybody loves JRH's products and service, and that counts for a lot. I haven't even opened the box for my TLT kit yet, so I have a lot of time to get educated on what the important stats are with brushless. One thing I'm trying to understand, is "Outrunner" the brand name, or does it just mean that the can spins?

If you need something tore up....just give it to me for a while,I'll find it's weak spot I've noticed that it'll overheat quite a bit quicker with my 8 1/2" LST's but it's alot happier running the Moab's. I've straped a heat sink to the Mamba 25 and built a box around it and a fan. I'm charging it up right now to go test. It should provide a good test since it's hotter than a 4 balled tomcat outside right now. | |

my mamba 25 is acting up using the himaxx I have, but I think that the himaxx is toasting, smells even when turned w/no power, smells like a venting battery , oh well, saving for a revolver and castle link |

The mp jet is listed @hobby lobby for 40 amps burst (doesnt give time), the park is listed at 28 amps for 15 seconds. But, without strapping them both down it is really apples to oranges- manufactures claims are just a claim. If you were to take the Park apart for inspection, I would love to get the specs on stator diameter, length, and magnet lengths. That is the easiest way to tell how much power a motor will take. | ||
