Pair that with a Castle HV80 Ice and you'll be impressed. That controller is verycapable and it's inexpensive.
The real key to the AXI F3Ais the Lipo's. The AXI is capable of pulling so many AMPs that the early Lipo's couldn't handle it. The new F3AUnlimited and the higher C Rhino's can now keep up with the demand the motor requires.
The AXI is a motor thats been on the market for around 6 years. It had some initial problems with the design and magnets getting loose and pretty much got a bad name during the initial process. Since they have corrected these issues and in fact the motor I recently replaced in my Integral had over 550 flights without any issues or maintenance. It was still running great but I started the season with the Himax thinking it would be just like the Pletty which by the way is a great motor albiet 2 times the cost. About 3 contests in I decided I was missing the power I needed and put a new AXI in. Wow!!!! Now I'm sure its a horse.
In my opinion the AXI is being overlooked because of some of the early problems they had. Motors are pretty refined and your not going to see revoulutionary improvements in them like we were used to seeing in the YS design evoulution. 6 year old motor designs are still capable of delivering what you require in the envelope we need to perform in. You'll find that the motor at 80AMPs WOT will require a dialing down on your throttle end limits on the Transmitter. I think my ATX SD10Gis about at 70% WOT. Mike
