I was thinking about the E-flite Power 160 when I saw that. I would take a reputable brand with support over HK any day, but of course I then saw the HK motor is a bit lighter (590g vs 650g).

I think the E-flite is an amazing motor if you can afford the weight.

Not a big fan of front mounting. Prop choice may be difficult with a 240 Kv and 75 amp max.
Power 160 is a known quantity and similar pricing.

Hi Anthony....that's what I thought too....until I front mounted a Plett Advance.
Verrrry easy and no full firewall.

It will be nice if the footprint of the new motor is identical to some of the well known motors. Just in case.
