These are good sizes for your production.

The 5mm will sell more than 6mm.

Most 6mm shaft motors are either for outrunners or Leopard 5682/5692 motors

I find it neat that China asks directly in a forum what is best for production.

Many happy days in your New Year!!!

Is it right ?what size of your Boat collect ?
5mm to 0.150 is tops but those with lots of power we like 5mm to 0.1875

Hi Candy [sm=thumbs_up.gif] ,


If TFL Hobby considered what R/C Hobbyist were wanting as far as quality goes , TFL Hobby would have a bigger share of the R/C market . Such as doing research on what makes Boat hulls perform at a high level & the quality of the fibreglass manufacturing process ( etc ) , i am a appreciative of TFL Hobby making R/C more financially appealing ( i am an Apparition owner ) though i feel their is a certain lack of understanding by your company , in what your customers require !!! ....


All the best ,


Brad
