Glad to here all this Hipe about outrunners. I will be trying 2 of them out for the 2005 season. Everything I have read and been told outrunners just seam like the NO NONSENSE way to go. Anything to do away with gear drives! I was told the only drawback of outrunners is DO NOT OVERPROP THEM. They can't seem to handle the overheating. this is just what I have been told.
