AK2M4 / XT Brushless Motors

@Fatboy40 glad you got it all sorted, if ever you need a thrust bearing just shout, got plenty of them.

I'm not a GATE user so don't have a whole deal of experience with them sadly.

For pretty much all Brushless motors don't use active braking or rate of fire reduction, including smart trigger. Some motors might work with these but its a bad idea anyway.

Chatting with the factory for the next batch, what's the ideal speed that people want to see?  I was thinking around 23,000 rpm +/- 10%

 

Factory did say they can fit a speed controller dial but I'm not really convinced as it could increase the price more.

I concur

 

With 13:1 this will get you to just under the PME ceiling which is optimal

 

Btw I was thinking those x ms delays in brushless may be related to the software denouncing method, and there is a way to completely remove this delay if they change the code to "register immediately upon voltage detection and ignore input for the next x ms" rather than the usual "wait x ms for the voltage to stabilise before registering"

@Pseudotectonic thanks, I'll mention the ms delay thing to the factory and see what they say.

I'm also going to be stocking spares etc, so bearings, esc etc al.  All going to be pretty cheap should anything be damaged.  The major ass is the time it takes to desolder the controller to access all the parts
