In hunting for an entry level 1/8th scale system, the Team Orion Neon8 met all of the specs for a new project. The 2000kv 4 pole brushless motor includes an expected 5mm shaft. The 130amp continuous ESC has aluminum heat sinks and the all so impressive Carbon look with a built in fan to keep the temps low. Both items are sealed and water proof for those who choose to hit a puddle or two.
Here's some info from Team Orion:
The Vortex Neon Brushless Systems are the very successful entry level 4 pole sensorless brushless systems for 1/10 vehicles - the first brushless set for those who need more power. Now we offer the same high quality tuning option to the fans of 1/8 vehicles! With the Neon 8 you get a 1/8 4-pole sensorless motor with a power of 2000KV! High current cables and large gold connectors are standard! In the combo we combine this motor with the brand new Vortex R8 WP ESC.
