EPS100C or EPS300C Slow Stick ?
I'm looking to buy a Slow Stick and I'm wondering which version is better - the EPS100C or EPS300C motor.
I dont know much about electrics so any help would be great

The 100C (basically a Speed 280) is way too small to get a SlowStick flying properly. The 300C (which is 370 motor, which is essentially a 7.2v Speed 300?????????- can you say, confusing?) is quite capable of providing sufficient power even if one uses relatively large servos and heavy NiCd or NiMh batteries.

300 all the way! I read some tricks here about breaking in the motor underwater, and retiming it. Mine will hover on a 13x9 prop, 2100 2S Lipo. Gets a bit hot with that much prop though.
