Asian motors are less efficient due to lesser materials and there simply isn't quality control.

Any American or German made motor is more efficient and more forgiving to setups that aren't ideal. Their increased efficiency equates to longer runtimes, something everybody wants and pays for, and it makes an easier load for esc's. (which you seem to like to break)

I'm a function over form guy and a tight penny pinching scrooge. I personally would never reccomend an asian motor to anyone based on my experiences. That's saying a lot considering they are half the money or less.


I'm glad to hear you finally have a setup you like and can use. I hope it holds up for you. I'll be watching, oh yes.

it's cool, Harold. i've i always said you gotta run whatever blow your hair back.

i seem to be able to make motors last....be it brushed or brushless. i still have my first velineon from a few years ago and stock motors from the 80's that still work like the day i got them. i can honestly say the only motor i've ever burned up (not from over-volting it on purpose cause i've done plenty of those) was a tekin mini rage motor last summer. i've worn plenty of motors out, but i almost never burn them up.

i also like the novak HV's now too.
