I want to know what non-FT motors do you use when you need to sub in for a power pack motor?

This is what Flite test has offer for the base Swappable systsems.

I do not want to undercut FT. While the motors aren't the cheapest, the added cost tends to be spent on reliability, performance and quailty. Not everyone can afford or get them at a reasonable price. So what is a Good Alternate?

Valuehobby.com they have some cheap motors used to be $5 now I think $8 we use a bunch of these for combat. Every once in a while you will get one that`s noisy but we just run them that way and they keep on ticking.

ToTSRC's prices are not bad. Not a huge range of selection but I have not had any quality issues for his items. I much prefer the look of FT's radial motors but the price puts them off the radar for my maidens and experiments.

BuddyRC has some good options for motors at a good price. My favorite alternative to the FT motors are RaceStar motors.
