Ahhh right i thought that all brushless motors were the same
seems i have fallen into the old "assuming" trap
My understanding was that as brushless motors used electromagnets with Alternating Current (provided by the ESC) to create the core to spin, this would provide large benefits (i would have thought) when compared with normal brushed DC motors due to a decrease in frictional forces present. Of course i have likely gotten this hole affair warped in my mind
In this case what size DC motor should i go for and would a DC motor not make an ESC irrelevant as a potentiometer connected to a servo would be able to serve as a rather simple (and crude) ESC with the only drawback being size and a lack of reverse (and reverse doesn't seem to be a feature of all ESC's anyway"
Thanks from a rather confused Aussie, Tim :)
