That wouldn't surprise me one bit. I'd bet that if someone doesn't do it for 2016, there will be at least one pitched for 2017.


Ya know... There's a lot of folks who think brushless is a great way to go. The real question is, can you keep a brushless motor from stalling? And... is one in the same power class as a 775 at a reasonable price? (Actually, I'd bet the answer to the second question is "yes", and to the first is "it depends on what I'm using it for".)
