RE: Found brushless motors
its amazing what you can find among your junk...
probably get a brushless ESC and try that...but first try to mount in a car so you can be sure it will fit before buying an expensive BL esc. without the specs, i cant really be of help tho...what brand is it? what was it in previously?

It is pretty hard to make anything out in the pictures, but they are huge like a wiper motor for your windshield or something. Most likely useless for rc, there are not to many commercial apps that use a brushless motor that turns 40k rpm. Actually RC is all I can think of.....

RE: Found brushless motors
if it is a wiper motor, can it be run faster than when they are on the car? because wipers go pretty slow. im wondering if the motors have limited volts/current flowing to them so theyre never going their max when in a car. it might be good for rock crawling, where you go so slow anyway.

RE: Found brushless motors
i think that they would go slower in an rc car because a normal car runsof 12 volts so running 7.2 would be insanly slow and deisil trucks like the f 250 super duty lariat runs 2 12 volts in series so those ones run off of 24 volts so the would be really slow with a llllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooootttttttttttt of tourqe lets just say if u grabbed the wheel and gave it gas it would hurt your rist to try and stop the wheel and then u would shred the gears in your tranny befor the motor stoped spinin

RE: Found brushless motors
i doubt it would strip the gears...but i see what you mean. it is probably too big to fit in any car anyway. and it might take bigger cells to provide the current it needs. although it would be interesting to hook up a stick pack to it to see how fast it goes...
