Cylon Marine motors

[SJFE]

I noticed these motors in my horizon flyer. Has anyone seen, herd or used one? They look very diffrent and have some nice features.

[Eodman]

Hey SJ --- these motors are supposedly 1 of europe's leading manufacturers and they invest heavily in research for F3A & F5B class motors(R/C airplanes!)

[Eodman]

SJ if you go to www.cyclonbrushless.com/cyclon.html it gives you info! It would be interesting to hear the more knowledge guys onthis sit visit that website and see if any of the stuff is really groundbreaking or just hype!

[SJFE]

That links broken. I'll google it later on. I remember now they are outrunners or O/I hybrids.

They look interesting. I like the water jacket on the front.

Now that I look at the site I have seen these taked about before of rrr.

[SJFE]

I like the look also. They are a little high in price. I am wondering about the application in reference to each size & kv motor.

[Eodman]

On their site they have a seperate listing for r/c boat motors!

[SJFE]

Found it thanks. It would seem the biggest motor that have is the 1600 witch looks to = a 10XL in kv. But should it not be delivering WAY more torque?

Very famous in France, they are made in France I think (?) http://www.electronicmodel.com/ or http://www.cyclonbrushless.com/cyclon-intro.html for direct acces to boat motors
When I started in FE boat, I was told they are the really best!
The water cooling is only on the front bearing

[Ub Hauled]

Yes they are French...
I have not heard one perso that actually used it... I brought it up last year to a few senior racers and they were a little interested but needed to see water time...
They look nice BUT, so do a bunch of other motors that are useless for race setups.

[SJFE]

Well it's a good thing 90% of us don't race . We wouldn’t have many options for equipment.

When I started with FE boat, I went to one of the largest RC shop in Paris, and the salesguy in charge of boat, presented me these motor when I was asking for basic info on brushless setup, they appear to be really good, certainly as Neu or Lehner, much less choice because they only have 5 model for boat according to french race categories.
