Current standard heavyweight tech

Heavies. Biggest change is the batteries.
The affordable HK Zippy LiFePo4's are not uncommon, and some machines are using LiPo's of diverse pedigree.

3.2mm Hardox is very common as armor, as it can take about anything except crushers.

Drives. Bosch 750's are getting out of fashion, due lack of ready replacements.
LEM's ain't what they were. ISKRA is solid, but not common. And we have seen the use of larger "generic Chinese electric scooter motors".

ESC's. Wotties are common.

and so on.

But if we're talking spinners, I can predict the use of large brushless motors.

I was wondering if anyone has looked at a brushless drive system for a heavy?

We looked to the Alienpower 80mm sensored outrunners, but the less than sterling performance René and Nick got from the smaller ones make us reluctant to go that way.
