inrunners or outrunners

Depending on if the build is for Robot Wars or just an upgrade for an old HW to run at the live events, you may want different speeds, which is a pain.

I looked at these motors early on for our HW (I think at least 1 robot ran these at RW this year) - http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking...ner_Motor.html But the Kv is far to low for your gearboxes.

There were also these - http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking...ize_heli_.html But the 5mm shaft is pretty dubious, or the Aquastars - http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking...ess_Motor.html wich you can run without cooling.

You may need to rely on acceleration curves to reign in a higher KV motor if you cant find a suitable lower Kv one, but that's pretty easy on the new DX6.

What size wheels are you looking at/or stuck with?

I was actually looking at something like this http://alienpowersystem.com/shop/bru...-720kv-12000w/ probably running at 8s. Gives around 20mph so would need dialling down on the speedo/tx but that's fairly simple and running stuff well within its capabilities is a good thing.

Looks good Like I say in the first comment I would not put a wheel on the end of the gearbox shaft, but run a 4:1 reduction to a 200mm or smaller wheel. the speed I would be looking for is no more than about 10mph. if anything the power of that motor might be a bit high at 2.4kw.
