True, brushless motors have become really popular in the RC world. Of particular note, though, is that the Welsh company is building their brushless motors without permanent magnets, which is something quite new and fascinating. The permanent magnets are often the heaviest part of a brushless DC motor. As an aside, to see how RC brushless DC motors can be made DIY from cdrom drive components, check out http://gobrushless.com/
