Yup thats why I run a "custom hand made motor" It has rare earth neodymium iron boron magnets. It is a torque monster. Does not get very high rpm's but very little loss in rpms. They held world records in rc dragsters ,N1,N2 and saw racing at one point. Common race setup for 6cell mono was x438 or Y536. It is actually hard to turn the prop by hand. AT the nationals it would run neck in neck with brushless back in the day.
