[PSUBS-MAILIST] Brushless motor

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi,not sure who I am talking to, but the brushless motors put out a lot lesselectronic noise, so less interferance with sensitive equipment.They don't wear out as quickly, as they don't have brushes, & you get more power for the same size unit. About 7 out of 8 thruster manufacturers use BLDC motors.There are a host of cheap motors at "Hobby King" With 785 Watt motors for $25-http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__522__517__Electric_Motors-45_to_50mm.htmlYou need an esc (electronic speed controller ) which costs about $50-.The escs normally work off a receiver sending them commands from the remote control transmitter.However there are control units you can buy that are wired straight to the esc.I  am experimenting with BLDC motors at the moment & are wanting to make up a thruster.Alan

Is there a reason I should go with a brushless motor?  I can get a 500 watt, 36 volt scooter motor for about 50 bucks but brushless are harder to find and more expensive.  Is there an email thread on this already?  Has this been a topic of discussion in the past?
