I have tested it and it is in the same ballpark as the "designer" motors. The only caution I would throw out there is unless you have a solid basic understanding of electric circuits and access to a wattmeter, you are better off copying a successful setup (including the prop). A fueled motor will tolerate a too-large prop by not delivering enough power and a too-small prop by spinning faster. An electric setup will create a fuse somewhere in the circuit if the prop is too large, and you are wasting potential power if the prop is not large enough. <br><br>The motor will be controlled with a Castle HV85 controller and power supplied by Thunderpower packs.<br><div> </div>Bob

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; -x-system-font: none;" valign="top"><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>I appreciate any information you guys can provide, particularly from those who have used them or seen them run.</div>

<div>Thanks a bunch</div>
