Default RE: Sky Fly by Fly Zone

Just curious j.m. (I didn't buy the Venom P-51). But are you familiar with the brand?
Do you know if their components are decent quality.
Reason I ask is this... I went to hobby city site and they do indeed have very low prices.
My question though is whether or not a $15 brushless/esc/prop combo is going to last and perform like a brand name $100 brushless/esc/prop combo.
I usually look at this stuff as "you get what you pay for". Some of the really cheap stuff works fine. But there is usually a reason why one brushless motor is $10 an another is $70.

Like I said I don't know anything about Venom components...for all I know they may be cheap components disguised and priced as high-quality stuff.
But what caught my eye was that Tower Hobbies had the Esc and the motor available separately and the cost of those 2 items alone exceeded the cost of the whole plane.

Thanks,

Kevin.
