RE: Nitro vs. electric
i will have to repeat myself from the other forum there is not a 15 hp brushless motor for rc!!!!!!!
you are talking the hp of a cub cadet tractor there is no transmission for an rc that could handle that much hp.
not to mention that it takes an electric motor brushless or not about the size of a table saw motor just to make 4hp.
when i asked that person to show me that fake motor he was talking about he showed a picture of a 800 size motor.
an 800 size motor will make around 3.5hp if its lucky.
now i have no doubt that you can make a brushless motor that has 15hp but it would not fit in an rc car unless that rc car was the size of a go-cart.
the record setting run that went 134.5 mph was with a 2.5 horsepower electric brushless, and no one has beat him yet.
so saying there is a 15 hp brushless for rc is just an outrite lie, and it shows the common mentality of the poeple in the electric forums.
