Well, since my stock motor took the obligitory "dump" after about 1 hour of flight time, I upgraded to this brushless(see link)

This motor is GREAT, and I have no complaints....much smoother performance than the stock.
My hint or tip if you will is to do the following,

TAKE THE E-SKY STICKER OFF OF THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT

On my second flight(after about 1 minute) I started to hear a high pitch whine, followed by a load pop......
I thought I had blown a belt, but it was just the sticker coming loose off of the brushless motor,violently!
No damage done....just had me worried for a split second[]

Hope this helps!
Here is a video of my HBK2 (before the motor upgrade)

That's a great sound I did'nt know what I broke until I saw the sticker all streched out on the ground. It just gives you another chance to pre flight your bird.

P.S. That information is in the tuner thread I ignored the info and found out for my self.

Well. the new ESC has let loose the "magic blue smoke".....only got in about 3 flights and it crapped out.
What do I have to do to keep this thing in the air??????????[&o][&o][&o]
