Lower Cost Motor Alternatives....Cobra or OS? Open minds please......

[xlr8tion]

Now that Aeromodel is in transition and is referring questions back ti the Board........

I thought I might postulate this Question......Without using the word Motrolfly in the answer.

What does anyone know about Cobra Motors.....They offer a 2 yr warranty and their 390kV offering is 88 dollars....

Anyone want to tear this motor up as some of the Motor Heads over at RCG have been speaking highly of this Brand-Bang For Buck.

Here's the info on their 390kV which is as close as I can match to my A50-16s at 378kv....

LMK what you guys think.......

or

O.S. 5025-375 I can get one of these NIB for 75...

Well....Which is the better of the two as a low cost alternative to Hacker?

Thanks!

I have used several cobras with good success.

Thanks Shannon....

I am looking for one for the 65" Vyper/61" Sebart......That 390kV might do the trick! Lucien runs his numbers pretty tight......And with Aero Model melting down.....Yeah it's no M-Fly but it is half the Cost and seems to near match the Hacker A50 16s for 150 vs 87 for the Cobra with a 2 yr warranty.....

Where's the wrath of the MoFly gang?

PS..Those OS numbers are whacked out!

I've had no problems with the one 3S cobra motor I owned...and I trust Lucien. Nothing against the OS motors...just haven't had one or really heard much about them. If it was me, I'd go cobra.

I have 3 smaller cobra motors and zero problems with them.
