Hi Ted
Is it true that Luke was banned from the Elmoto Forum ?? I have never seen him make a post on here ??

Thanks, Harold

Oh, how is that Lipo pack doing ?? I'm gathering up Lipos at 2 per month on my pitiful SS check.

Yep outer casing spins. Called an outrunner, meant to have more torque. The motor has a 'slight' bearing noise around 3000rpm. But it sure sounds good for the rest of the range.

I was displaying this to rev heads,thought the labels appropriate.

No way, man, I'm cool. Apparently, "giving up" was a good way to rethink my project... and restart with my feet on the ground. My 'rashmoto" will come up eventually ("rashmal" is hebrew for electricity)
You are a great buddy!
