Only want to do 20-30K - so I think I can do that
spindle OK myself.

Probably an inrunner instead an outrunner yes.
And LRK/SPS may not be best idea anyways if I
want that 30K speed. Just a 9 stator 12 pole
probably.

Must get better value spindles in europe. In
OZ for $30 (20 euro) we can only get cheap knock
off chinese "Drummels" and "Praxxons".
But the reason I realy want to make a brushless
spindle is to get rid of the belt like in my
sakai.
