Yup for sure MaxMaker, we took on the task of getting our own motors for many reasons: to cut costs for the build, get something better than stock motors that get rusty bolts and bearings, get more torque at the shaft, remove a couple layers of middlemen marking up prices and almost more importantly get a motor within 3 weeks vs 5-8 weeks from all the other sources.
As you will quickly learn the RC/electronics/motors world is riddled with crazy long waiting times. We are living in On-Demand times… Waiting months for one part is painful and costs valuable time so we have been pushing to change this.
Quick Comparison:
SSS 500KV, 116A, 1.9Nm Torque
SSS 360KV, 93A, 2.0Nm Torque
VeFoil 360KV, 130A, 2.9Nm Torque (52% more torque than SSS 500kv, 45% more than SSS 360kv)
VeFoil 250Kv, 100A, 3.1Nm Torque (63% more torque than SSS 500kv, 55% more than SSS 360kv)
If you are using a reduction gear then torque really isn’t an issue, but if you are building a direct drive with 56mm - 110mm impeller/prop then this torque is required to get the prop RPM and thrust required.
At this point, the motor price should be $225 USD plus shipping and will ship worldwide.
We are still testing for another 2 weeks, if interested PM me.
