I don't think the price is that good, you can buy the components yourself for about half that price. The only good thing is that it comes with a mount that makes installing the motor easy. Also, he says that his setup is 2.25oz lighter than stock as if that's a good thing. The cub is balanced with the stock motor in it, if you replace it with something lighter the plane won't be balanced anymore, and you'll just end up having to add 2oz of weight to it anyway. Another suspicious looking thing is that his power comparison table appears to be doctored. It says the motor takes 17amps max, yet the figures he quotes say 16.7amps at only 10.7 volts. Unless you're running an 11v battery that information isn't going to be very relevant, and if you did run it at 12v with the same prop he's using there the motor would be running over 17amps. He should have really used a smaller prop, and ran the motor at 12v, but since he didn't, I'd say he's hiding something. The motor's probably not as powerful as he's suggesting. I think this motor would probably be better and it's only 11 bucks www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2112 |

He doesn't include the receiver with his brushless combo when he shows them on the scales. Am I missing something?
