    Hi.
    I'm planning to build FFB stick (based on Gigawipf Opensource OpenFFB board )
    and then maybe 6DOF platform.

    I was considering 86blf03/4 330/440W BLDC motors for stick and bigger 600-700W version for platform. All those motors have fairly high RPM (3000) and require large reduction ratio.
    But I just tought - I have electric scooter, Kukirin G2 Max with 1000W direct drive hub motor, which with 10" tire outside diameter goes 50km/h under load. It's just a little above 1000RPM at 48V. Motors like this should be perfect for builds like this. They are cheap, very quiet, and if I need only 400-500W I can buy some even cheaper motors from slower scooters.
    Only downside I see is that those are outrunners with probably high rotor inertia.

    What do you guys think?
