Brushless DC motors are common place in RC Vehicles. They are small, light, fast and can be inexpensive. [Raynerd] wanted a new spindle for his CNC machine and thought that a brushless DC motor ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for ...

The spin doesn't stop until the charge from the battery stops. A brushless motor loses the brushes and the commutator. And the locations of the magnets and windings are reversed: The magnets are ...

Explore an innovative experiment where an RC airplane is powered using a repurposed hard drive motor. With careful assembly and precision engineering, this build tests the limits of lightweight ...

Three days ago, California’s Spencer Lisenby shattered that record by piloting an RC plane to an astounding speed of 548 MPH, but their plane lacked one important feature: an engine powering it.
