Has anyone tried these motors? They are 4 pole. Price is good.

I have seen those motors but have yet to hear anything about it... listening closely to the thread.

I've been watching them for months now, I use to order esc's from them when I first started off, Good service, great guy, him and his wife... RCgroups have alot of feedback on the motors, some of them are pulling over 2800 watts.

KV seems low for certain applications. I know with the UL1 uses the Ammo, but many other folks have been using the Ammo motors for years.

Why not use an Ammo motor with higher efficiency, affordable, and have been proven reliable? I don't want to take the thread off topic, but was just curious of the comparison. Plus, I've never heard of one failing. Just a thought.

I saw those a couple of months ago. The one thing I noticed was that the larger ones were not recommended for "pusher use" in EDF applications. My thought was the back plate might fall out.

These are also 4 pole motors...

I think that Ammo motor efficency is over rated, Feigao have a much stronger magnet. Ammo's just use more wire in their cans.

At least they are warning you about 'pusher'. That's why we use thrust bearings with all of our motors in our applications.

Just always looking at alternatives. You never know, maybe the ARC motors might be better than the AMMO and maybe not. That's the reason for this thread.

I think you guys are trying to "split hairs"...

Jeeez, I didn't want to start a 'dustup'. Haha. I just like looking at what's out there to see if I'm missing something.

Yes, and we will see how they work in a twin cat. I bought a pair of 36 55 -1T, they look like Neu 1409's with cooling holes.

Ray, keep us posted please...

Nice looking motors. They could be very close to another well known motor we buy.

The 36-55-1.5 look to be good candidates for a 4S twin setup on the Skunk works cat.
