    Online store-motors

    is it still june geoff? thought it was brought forward.
    must say i dont follow as closely as i should.

    my advice on a mag powered spinner... dont. at the point on the learning curve you currently find yourself (no offence meant of course) this idea will just cost you loads of money, and it will break.

    learn from all those in the past that spent money on nice bits, only to burn them out or have them destroyed, when 6 months later they had learned from their previous machines, enough to at least have a chance to have used the nice bits effectivly.

    the term dont run before you can walk is appropriate i think. if you must build a spinner, use lower power motors for now, and learn all the lessons a spinner builder must learn on cheaper components.

    just my suggestion.

          why bother with expensive ,heavy interference causing motors. The new generation of brushless outrunner motors is getting ready to kick ass.

              Mario: Im trying out an Neu ORK brushless, but you cant say they are cheaper than old-school Mags - they usually cost MORE with the controller. The controllers are pretty fragile too, from some peoples experience.

                James, that disc is staying in my garage for the moment I do have plans for it although they may take a while to materialise.

                I have just finished designing gearboxes to allow me to drive my next heavy with 2 eteks

                    I do agree on the controller part. Brushless motors are not that expensive, but the controllers capable of supplying the current are still very expensive. Still, in the weight/performance curve they are very nice indeed.
