Yes 64 bucks for an motor of that caliber is actually not bad, see yes if you simply compare stat’s then yes you can most likely find motors that will compare, however, most will not be rebuildable that one is, most will not have the longevity that one has, bulldog and I were chatting, he has a crash issue lmao, he love to fly hardcore 3D, and he is new to flying, there is no other way to learn but crash crash crash, unless you have a good simulator whI have is as of yet does not, he is looking for one, but as he says, the plane costs 5 bucks to build and the motor survives crash after crash, now had he went cheap, it may not have. So even if you could find one that size for Half the price, and it died after 1-2 crashes would it still have the value. Next if after the times he has crashed and he says about 25 times in a very short time, like months, should that motor get issues, he can replace magnets and stuff, so a new motor is not needed, a few cheap parts and the motor is up and running, but seriously how good that motor is on such a light plane, it will never wreck, it is simply a great motor. That is why its 64 bucks, I am sure though you can get one for 30-40 bucks with that power. I for one will crash from time to time, plus I like motors that are strong, I still have motors from 14 years ago, when brushless were really expensive, I never went cheap on the motor and I still have them today after years of crashing and flying spanning several builds and switching them to new ari frames. I guess the long winded lecture I have going here is, dont go cheap on the motor, servo’s , ESC or FC, the good ones can survive the worst of crashes, and if padded right and I use fuel foam, the FC will survive a crash from 3-4 hundred feet, please do not ask how I know, I am an idiot and well I crashed from about that height doing a stupid thing, lesson learned, but I also learned that good padding will allow the important parts to live and having A good engine and at the time I was flying a nitro engine, I buried the motor in a farmers field and it took some digging to recover it, I cleaned the motor up, took it all apart washed it out in fuel, and put it back together, and it run as good as new. That motor was expensive and still runs today again 14 years later. End story dollar value is always seen till you run the part and see how much it can withstand, everyone here is no rookie to flying, well crashing goes hand in hand, no one here can say they never miss calculated and crashed, not even a pro. It happens, but if you got good parts, then you can take away a good chunk of the cost to rebuild, in bulldogs case, with the setup he has, it costs him 5-10 bucks to rebuild a plane, he saves the motor, servo’s,ESC and FC, goes to the dollar store gets some foam and a few days of work and he is flying again. I myself when I was a rookie went cheap and was in a state of always waiting for new parts to arrive cause I would crash and have to re-buy, time after time, till a guy I used to know at a club said had I bought a more quality motor I would have most likely survived the crash a bit better. That day I learned a valuable lesson. Sorry for the long winded book report, I get going and its hard to stop. Sorry for the long post.
