[NSRCA-discussion] E-Question HXT motors

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

I have a friend running these down in Southern California. He has gone through a couple fairly quickly. But the one he's on now, I think he has 50 or more flights on.

As I am doing my research into the world of electric pattern I have come across the HXT line of electric motors. It appears that the HXT 63-64 B230 is a fraction of the cost of the comparable AXI motor ($60 vs.$200+) with very similar performance numbers, physical dimensions, etc. In fact, according to the info I saw it is even 12 grams lighter.
 
Being a realist I have to ask the question; what's the catch? Will it burn out after three flights, does it run excessively hot, does it smell like bacon? I don't get it. Is it just a cheap Chinese knock off, a very good value, or both? What I really want to know is, is the motor viable for F3A pattern?
 
I appreciate any information you guys can provide, particularly from those who have used them or seen them run.
 
Thanks a bunch
Anthony
