Hi Bill...good to hear from you,

The performance is very comparable to the AXI. You can't tell any difference in the overall power because the Kv rating's are identical. It appears from my testing that the E-Flite prototype motors pull slightly more current above 6-amps and this amounts to a total flight time of 12 minutes as opposed to 13 and that's if you're really aggressive with the throttle.

Considering that the AXI sells for $75.90 for the motor and another $22.90 for the mount and prop adapter (for a total of $98.80). and the E-Flite out-runner is selling for $49.99 with everything...so you get almost exactly the same performance for half the price which is really amazing to me. It's pretty much a 2 for 1 deal. I think this will help make the brushless setups more accessible to the budget minded modeler.
