Are the RTFQ X2204 Advanced airbot titan clones?

They look the same to me

Also the single piece of thrust data RTFQuads gives "490g of thrust with HQ 5x4 at 10.5A / 130W" seems to match what the airbot titans advertise as well (494g HQ 5x4 at 10.6A 131.2W).

Anyone have experience with these? Thinking about using them for a 250 size quad build (specifically the Hovership MHQ2 since the Hovership store never seems to have everything in stock and I'm tired of waiting)

I don't know where Paul/RTFQuads gets their motors, but it seems he's gotten a lot faster in processing and shipping orders. I've had great results from his x2212 (Electrohub Tricopter) and x2204 (HK Trifecta tricopter) motors, but funny enough, I only have them in tricopters.

The only motors I can compare them to, having such limited experience, are the Hobby King Multistar elite 2204s:

I have to say, they have been fairly comparable, but I feel like the RTFQ's motors are smoother. For some reason, 2 out of four of the multistars I got after a few flights with no crashes have a bit more play in them when tugging on a blade. There's an audible click, whereas I don't have that with any of the RTFQ motors (yet). I've had the most flights on the 2212 motors and even one crash that broke a boom. The motors are still running like new, although after the crash, I did try to clean out the motor that was on the broken boom and sprayed a small amount of light oil on the bearings. Still runs smoothly.

Yeah, shipping time has not been one of my issues with RTFQ, even when he said there would be holiday delays.
