It was one of the smaller Emax motors and the ESC was a "HURC," I forget what size but it was small too- 18A I think.
Had a quick look at these - on HeadsUpRC website.
a. 18A ESC looks like a HobbyWing -uses HW program card. These are usually very reliable, work fine. Unusual to be DOA.
b. EMax motors -fine for sport flying, not for F3A. Many people have had good success with EMax motors.
GT-series and BL-series motors are reasonable quality, and usually fine. CF-series EMax motors are cheap and low quality.
