<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, some in depth answers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We did in fact test this motor last season on a
Black Magic V2, flying masters. We used the HXT 63-64B 230kv motor. We used a CC
HV85 controller, Tanic and vampower packs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Power is certainly not a problem for this motor. It
is fairly comparable to the AXI. 2700 watts, 82 amps, 6200 RPM on an APC 20x14.
the motor never got over 110 degrees.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Longevity: we got well over 100 flights on it
before the plane was lost, no problems whatsoever. This was using Esprit stand
off mounts as well, o nose mounting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No can issues, nothing, it just delivered. your
results may vary of course. These are "cheap" chinese motors and you do not have
the support structure in place like the name brands. but considering you can buy
almost 4 of them for the price of one AXI, it's pretty interesting.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've run a lot of these chinese motors and maybe
I'm just lucky, but I just don't have problems. I keep hearing about problems
with darned near everything, including name brand stuff, and the only issue
we've run into yet was a very early bearing failure with an AXI...that's all.
Ever.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have yet to install one of these on a VF3, and
wonder about it because by it's very nature you will have to use more power to
fly it. I realize 82 amps is a lot, but the packs never got warm, nor did the
speed control or motor, so who knows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in short, if this is your first forray into
electrics of this size, you would probably be better off with the AXI just from
the standpoint of support. But so far I can't find a thing wrong with this
motor, or else I am just that lucky (and THAT is highly unlikely, trust
me!)</FONT></DIV>

HXT motors</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate any information you guys can provide, particularly
from those who have used them or seen them run.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a bunch</DIV>
