I say no issues cause Iā€™m told the heat isnā€™t an issueā€¦ 90 degrees is the highest Iā€™ve clocked them at, but I was told to set motor temp cutoffs start and stop at 140 and 160 respectively.

So you think they are worth $200? Is that what you paid or did you get them for free?

#47

Thatā€™s hard to say to be honest. I donā€™t think theyā€™re worth $200, but I realize their position because theyā€™re not exactly making much selling it for $200 (I know their baseline cost).

I got them for free even though I wanted to pay for them. Iā€™ve been running them for a few months and giving them feedback on how it runs and what settings Iā€™m running them at

I know what those motors cost also, the actual retail is roughly $100 to $120 if you are only ordering small quantities, 50 to 100 motors. JJ seems like a great guy, I have had the pleasure of corresponding with him a few times but it is hard to overlook such a huge markup.

Ah thatā€™s not the number they told me, but I may have been mistaken.

Yeah I love them on my board and Iā€™ve tried a few motors, but Iā€™m certainly no expert. I was thinking of getting some more for my upcoming builds actually but I gotta think about it some nowā€¦

Thatā€™s f%$ked up if true! I know for a fact that they source their goods from Chin

Seems they were created by an american company that manufactured electric motors for the military.

#51

I wish that were true but sadly it is not, maybe it is half true? I know of plenty of Chinese companies that supply motors to various military contractors.

@sofu If you really want skin in the game you should have sunray or brother make a short run of motors to your spec.

#52

The company is based in the US, these motors are actually manufactured in Japan afaik

#53

I donā€™t actually wanna sell anything :sweat_smile: selling stuff and delivering is tough and Iā€™m way too lazy for that :rofl: I helped get some Metasurf orders back to the US and even that was not my cup of teaā€¦ Iā€™d much rather be a consumer like with the recurve Iā€™m waiting on :yum:
