General comments:


Recommendation to all,

If at all possible try to purchase 480 size motors at 110 grams as compared to 400 size shorter motors.

At low power setting, there will be no advantage but as power increases it will make more and more power, and efficiency will not drop, and they will run a lot cooler when setup properly........Especially given the lack of cooling air flow in Funjets as compared to externally mounted motors on other airframes.

Then there are the HIGHpower setups which will melt down a 400 size motor.

The 480 motors are just a little heavier, a bolt in fit, and extra $10-$20 more initially but that will save you guys a second purchase of a motor in future and you will just LOVEit.


Keep In mind the above are general comments….but some of you want to save every last few grams.
For high speed, extra 1 o.z. of motor is not a bad trade off….then add on the added weight of bigger pack in future and etc……LOL
