ORIGINAL: fly210sv It's funny, 2 years ago i bought a Turnigy G46 to replace an E-flite Power 46. I was thrilled with the performance and was convinced at that time that these were the same motors or a great copy.
I now use the Turnigy motors in any of my new airplanes or replacement in old ones.
<span style="font-size: medium">Thanks very much indeed for contribution, fly210sv. </span><u><span style="font-size: medium">Please keep contributing.
</span></u>Yes, mmmm .... -In post #1 of this thread, I suggested that not only are E-Flite motors made by the Himark Electronic & Model factory, that also the Turnigy "G" motors might also be made by the same factory.
<span style="font-size: small">What do you think, fly210sv -did the G46 look like the exact same motor, just with a Turnigy sticker on, rather than an E-Flite sticker ...?</span></p>
I have a few points to make:
1. The E-flite Power 46, 670KV: 290g, D50 L55, has 4020 stator.
In USA costs $90 -

2. The Turnigy G46 670kv, has same dimensions but is quoted as 303g. However, price is $46.09 -half that of the E-Flite USA price.</p>
3. <span style="font-size: small">BUT: in the UK, the E-flite Power 46 costs £99.97 =
$152 ...!

-So for people in the UK, if they get the Turnigy G46, for them it is actually 1/3 of the price of the E-flite Power 46 ...! Very tempting ... So why would anybody actually buy an E-Flite 46 ....?</p>
4. However, these days if I am buying from HobbyKing, I would much rather get a Turnigy SK3 motor than a G-series motor, because I think SK3 are better.
I can see that the Turnigy SK3 5045-660kv (280g) is almost an exact match for the E-Flite 46, and only costs $37.27 The Turnigy also has a 4020 stator, just like the E-Flite motor see:

-The Turnigy SK3 5045-660kv is alsothe exact same motor as the HYPERION Z4020 12T 660 KV -and of course Turnigy SK3, Hyperion and Hacker and all the others, are all made in the Sunray Tech factory.</p>
To me, the E-Flite motors (and the Turnigy G-series) all look a bit "agricultural",and I think the Turnigy SK3 "Hacker look-alike" motors look much better -and probably also have better performance (and they are cheaper ...). Cheers Mate
