Lightweight brushless motor?? Outrunner??

[magnumb 237]

Anyone ever try running an outrunner motor on any 4wd buggy platform?

I was thinking i want a lightweight motor to reduce stress during crashes and broken parts. Any idea what would be a good lightweight motor to run in a Fire Dragon or similar platform?

There was a member who had mounted an outrunner.  It does require a lot of modifications, since the can turns.  

An easier option would be to use a 380 sized brushless with high RPM and low gearing.  It might only require a motor plate.  If you are not using a LiPo, you can use a very light LiPo too.  Something like a 2200mAh LiPo could be less than half the weight of a NiMH.  I haven't done such mods, so unfortunately, my limited knowledge ends there.

Bonjour à tous, pour diminuer le poids, vous pouvez utiliser des moteurs de diametre plus petit type 28mm au lieu de 36mm

en XV01 et XV02 j utilise du 2845 en 3300kv  et un mini servo corona DS339MG

en 1/8 j utilise du 3660 en 2150kv
