s_mcflurry - Great info on the motor. I have put it in my wishlist in case it works out. My only question is how to get the gear off of the Axe tail motor and onto the Motor you listed? We could by three of them for a little over what 1 Axe motor costs
I hear you on that one. I fortunately still have a good motor but because of all the horror stories, I think my tail motor is running on pure luck. I'm definitely keeping an eye on that GWS motor. As for getting the gear off, this is what
Iceman140 has to say about it:

Try Tower hobbies for tail motor replacement options. Look at GWS CN 12 RXC Motor.
If you see a "D" series motor and gearbox combo you'll find an easily adapted option with a gear ratio pretty close. Look at the Pico Slow Stick Motor gearbox combo. GWS DX2 BBAX. The whole gearbox combo will adapt and the motor is supported at both ends. A little dremel tool work and getting the wires to exit the boom soon so you can secure the assembly to a plug inserted into the end of the boom and presto.....or something to that effect.
You'll need a gear puller if you order the motor only I think, but EFlite makes a nice 1-5 mm shaft gear puller.
