ORIGINAL: aeajr I value documentation. I have purchased cheap motors from time to time. Many have come with no documentation at all. But when I pay a higher price I expect better documentation because documentation costs money to create. I value support and support costs money. When I have a problem I want help and I want it on a timely basis.

I can see where you are coming from, Ed.
All I can say here, is that companies like Gens Ace, OK Hobby Infinite, Hyperion, HobbyKing, Waypoint, Sonic Electric, RCM Pelikan and Puffin Models etc etc -all have EXCELLENT documention and information on the motors that they supply, and which are manufactured by SunRay Technology;
So you are not IN ANY SENSE getting less documentation or information by purchasing an identical motor from companies like this ... -compared to the much more expensive completely identical motor from companies like e.g. Hacker and E-F Torque</p>
-Also: on the HobbyKing website there are a great number of User Comments about each item, and often a great deal ofuseful information about e.g prop choice, current draw of a particular motor, can be found in these User Comments</p>
<span style="font-size: small">It should be pointed out that we are NOT talking about so-called "cheapie" "budget" motors here. </span>For instance, we are not taking about XYH-EMP, or Emax, or Suppo, or Tower-Pro, or Keda, or KMS, or Mystery motors, and others like them.
-We are talking about a Turnigy SK3 motor, which is made by the very same factory that makes Hacker, Torque and Hyperion-Z motors. We have shown here that the Turnigty SK3 uses all the same parts as the Hacker motor, and has completely identical performance.
-It just so happens that this SK3 motor is sold for $27 by HobbyKing, whereas Hacker themselves choose to sell their own branded SunRay motor for $101.</p>
But of course, the Turnigy SK3 cannot, in any sense, be described as a "cheap" or a "cheap chinese" or a budget" or a "chinese budget" motor; or as "HK junk" ...</p>
Indeed, if someone DOES describe the Turnigy SK3 as a "cheap chinese" motor or as "HK junk", then because the SK3 is completely identical to the Hacker motor, then they will also be saying that the Hacker is a "cheap chinese" motor and that the Hacker motor is "junk" ....
