Default RE: Build A Bullet Proof Stryker (Brushless Or Stock)

Sunday I stripped the stream lined Stryker down for a re-build, mainly just re-covering it and such but reason being that it's time to throw on the GBX triple stator motor kit. We winded it and checked the thrust and amps it was putting out. Pretty impressive but don't have the data in front of me to post right now. Will within the next week or so. For anybody interested in winding a motor (not hard to do) $30 will get you a very efficient, powerful, and versatile motor that can produce some monserous thrust and speed at efficiencys well into the 80's and 90's. We haven't found a motor yet in it's class, kit or "store bought" at any price, that can match it's performance. These motors can come with the magnets already glued in or you can special request them to be loose. We ordered it that way as we are using a different configuration for this wind. The little bugger on a 6x5 prop almost took the weight thrust stand straight off the table. [8D] Amazing performance. More info later...
