Just a thought: If thinking about an E-Flite 160, why not go for the Turnigy G160 ?
-They are <span style="font-size: small">exactly </span>the same motor, and the G160 is half the price:</p>

Turnigy G160, 245kv, 649g, D63 L66 $72.31

Here are some user comments from the HK website:
" ... Fitted to Sebart 110 for advanced schedule, the power train is . . . G160, 100HV ESC, 10S2P 5000mAh. At 1500m altitude:
turnigy 17x10 @55 amps = 4.5 Kg thrust
apc-e 18x10 @55 amps = 5.0 Kg thrust
apc-e 19x10 @55 amps = 6.0 Kg thrust. ..."</p>

"<span style="font-size: small"> ... This motor is visually almost identical with Axi 5330 and Power160 as well ..." </span></p>

No-one seems to have reported when using a typical F3A prop -but this motor will perform identically to the E-Flite 160 ...

Pic shows: 1,2, The G160 looks <span style="font-size: small">identical</span> to a Himax motor, to a TopModel X-Power motor, and to an AXI motor ...
Pic 3 shows the E-Flite Power 160 has the same backplate as the G160 -they are probably the same motor, made in the same factory ...
