Helping with a school project, building 8 FT Explorers, all cut out from Dollar Tree foam board. Has any one tried this motor/esc ? We are on a real tight budget.

I've bought two of those, but I've only used one so far and it seems to work fine on 3s, never tried it on 4s though. They're a solid combo if you're on a budget like me.

Yes, this is an adequate motor. If you’re using this exact one, that’s a higher speed variety. Seems like that motor is good for about an 8x4.5 prop.

I use one motor thats the same as this except 1000kv instead of 1500. I use it on a Spear. It’s competent but not exciting. In other words, it’s a fine value motor.
