Well the new motor has arrived from the states now

The picture above show's the 11kw brushless motor (Align 800MX) along side the new Mag S28-150, or now known as AmpFlow A28-150 motor. As standard this is a 3hp motor on 24V, I'll be running 12s Lipo and doubling that voltage to get close to 9kw from it.
The first version will be made with the AmpFlow motor, as it keeps the electronics and mechanical side of things nice and simple (as far as it can be anyway!) and then once that's working I will be building the brushless version with more power. There's some complex clutches and various other considerations that I think will take quite alot of work and testing to get right so hence going with the brushed version to start with.
I'll getting CADing it up now
