I like the fact that you can replace the brushes instead of having to buy a new motor. And the top is open to help cool it better.

Status: offline 		I was just browsing this thread since I took out the CX yesterday (was raining here) and I think I need new motors. Then again, I might just do the same and use that $$ towards a new indoor heli.

Status: offline 		Deftones123,

If you have the $40 to spend, I think the Xtreme's are worth it. I fly my CX2 outside, even with a little wind, and they appear to be a bit stronger than stock motors. Much cooler than stock motors as well. I also have the carbon fiber boom which helps. The way that I see it is, even if you upgrade to a CP Pro or 400, there are still days that weather won't allow you to fly outside. I personally like the option of having an indoor flyer too.

The version2's have a new winding and a more vented case.

I have been flying the version1s for about 6 months, they are great. I have not tried the v2's yet because I have not seen the need to upgrade.
