Ricko, from what I’ve heard here on the forum, pitman has priced themselves out of the small market we belong to.
Years ago when I saw the odyssey motor demonstration at York it did not appear to need all the special electronics for cruise control and low speeds.

Rod, they would have to completely re-engineer the whole works to incorporate that motor into production…..that would take new tooling, new electronics, and make models go through the stratosphere in pricing,…….the quicker & more economical solution was to simply go shopping for another DC can motor vendor….Lionel went with Cannon, & Buehler, and MTH went with first, SPG motors ( Korean made Pittman knock off ) and then went with what appears to be a Chinese motor ( those black can motors ) ……..so they’ve already improvised, adapted, and overcame Pittman’s exodus from the hobby industry…….
