I have a billings THOR with 2 jet drives and no motors!  (fairly slow)  the recommendation is for 700 brushed.
I would like to use brushless, BUT they will need to have 5mm dia shafts. 
To save hours of fruitless web search, does anyone know of a suitable motor available in the uk?
This seems similar to other questions on Mayhem, but the shaft diameter is the problem.
Thank you for looking
Jim W

You will need an adapter ring from here


Brushlesswise, I would use a 1200-1600kv motor around the 1kw range. Hobby King have loads. If your going in runner a 3650-74 will give decent welly. I had a dr mad thrust 3674 on my blue star which is the same jet, I have three in my Moonraker.

Hi Jim
Another Hobbyking motor is the 3648-1450kv , 37mm diameter, 5mm shaft, 3S= 16095 rpm or 4S 21460 rpm, 1600watts.
I have four of these motors and all are good strong motors with a good bit of welly!!!
