Can someone tell me if this would work in my Arrma Senton 3s? Also any suggestions on whether to go for the 3150kv motor or 3700kv motor?

Here is the stock 3s motor https://jennysrc.com/products/arrma-...irma-ara4302v3

But you could probably use either kv's

Ive looked at Jenny’s rc but I was thinking about getting a hobbywing motor because I’ve heard a lot of people talk about them not being good long lasting motors. I had my stock motor in my Senton for over 2 years before it went out, I took it to a hobby shop to check if the motor was bad (it was). They told me it was a miracle to have the motor last that long. Are they right about them not being good motors or was it more of trying to get me to buy something new from them (they also did try to sell me new stuff). I really like the shop, they don’t see to be that type of shop but yet again, they are after all a business trying to make money.

Motors are simple and cheap (for 3s bashing anyway). If you don't overheat it or mess up the bearings, a brushless motor will last forever.

Get the 3200 KV.

Are these decent? I've been tempted by the low prices but I'm not familiar with the hobbystar brand

I am also curious how good these motors are. I’ve heard of them, but doesn’t look like there are any reviews on them. At least for the website you linked.

They're motors. If you're a basher, they'll be fine. I've had a couple of cheap 3660 Rocket/Surpass motors for 30-40 bucks from China and they were all fine. ESCs are another matter...

cheap or mismatched ESC's specs to motors are usually what cause people problems. You put a 4s motor on a 2s ESC and yeah, you may have some problems.

Just to be clear, are you talking to nino or about the motor I originally posted? The motor I showed is a 3s motor, and my stock esc is 3s. So unless you’re talking to nino, not sure how what you said applies.
