The "best" 380 or smaller motor (rc18)

[KiZ]

Wow, thanks for all the comments people, you are all so helpful here, I really appreciate it.

I was wondering how hacker and hyperion motors stack up against Lehner, Neu and Medusa. (And against mambas) It seems neu and medusa are kind of out because of size constraints, and Lehner is perhaps a little "too" perfect at $150 (although the 1020/15) looks like a perfect motor.)

The Hacker E30-L and Hyperion Y-22 appear to be perfect, but of course they are a lot cheaper so I imagine the quality is a lower.

Thanks for all the help and answering my boring questions that I'm sure you've all answered countless times before.

The Hyperions are nice. I used to have the YC-22-5000 in my MLST, but I've been testing my 6000Kv in it. The problem I have with the micro motors currently available is the shaft size. I've broken my fair share of shaft and this is the reason my motors will have standard 1/8" (3.17mm) shafts.

Little video for you guys:

I made a mistake and should've said shorter then the 180 size 20mm diemeter motor.

Thanks for the vid, that was pretty informative. And nice 18R setup.

I've got a Wraith7k in my 18T which I THINK is the same size as a Feigao 280S motor. So: 24mm diameter and 35mm length. I think it's dying though because it's a bit rough to spin by hand.

I think the 180 are 20mm and the 280 are 28mm. The one thing I hate s the shaft size. My motor is nice cause I know pinions will be in stock and available in many teeth count to suit any application.

I run the Mamba 25... that is why I am hesitant to step up to a bigger motor, I'm afraid it will only cost more money by having to replace the 25.. Just curious, if my Mamba 25 happened to fry, and I happened to send it in to Castle for a replacement...would I get a MMP back? I don't think they still stock the mamba 25's. As far as that hobby city one I linked, it looks pretty good. My friend uses it. Geared 10/60 on 3s, he said it runs low 100's with about 30-40 minute runtimes. On a Rhino 1050 30C pack... Looks like a pretty good setup, I think i might go for that one. For $15, I don't really care if it fries.

They would probably send you an old re-done mamba 25 or an 18th scale sidewinder.

I think actually the 280 is 22mm, the 370 is 24mm and the 380 is 28mm. The original 18t came with an upgrade "super 370" that I measured just a second ago and it was 24mm.

Anyway, thanks for the video lutach! Very informative. I'm thinking of getting an exotek tek18, which it looks like you have. Does that long Hyperion can fit in there?

And do you have any more information or a link about your motors? Will you be selling them? I really like the look of them, are you going to make different can lengths? And what about pricing?

Thanks

I'm really not sure how the number things works out to be honest. The Exotek chassis is nice. I don't know if the long Hyperion fits it though. I don't have info on my motors yet, but when I do have them here, I'll be sending the 3 versions so Mike can test them out and hopefully sell them to you guys. The 6000 and 7500Kv are a bit longer then the 9000Kv motor. They will not look like that though. They'll have mounting holes for all the minis or micros (Don't know the difference) on the market and will be sealed. The color will be different as well.

+1 on the Hyperion, nice motor.
