Since I can't seem to buy a Xera (out of stock for 1 month), what other make would you recommend that is in the similar power and price range? I plan to use it in the following ship:

-1500 to 1650 RPM Headspead
-7:1 gear ratio
-720mm blade
-10s lipo
-about 16 to 17 lb AUW

I believe I need a 400 to 450KV motor.

Thanks,

Pat L

Scorpion HK4035 560kV is a good motor and not expensive.

If I could not source a Xera the only option I'd consider is an Actro.

I have a 24-5 that can haul 16lb heli around all day long at 110 degree ambient on 10s.

Xera or Actro are the only motors I would run in my ships.

How about the new Actro 32-4 Max?

Avail in 5 or 8 mm shafts.
