True. Our club voted on the Tekin Gen3 w/stk blue rotor and hope they're all close in performance. It's a crap shoot for sure.

Fantom is pretty bad at keeping their website stock updated. Twice I've ordered from their site, only to be sent emails after purchase saying they are out of stock on that item, and that it's due in "soon".

Good products, if you can get them.

That looks like a good motor. The timing is set too high, running it like that will over heat.

I just ordered a Fantom V3T "Workz Plus" 13.5 turn Dyno Tuned Brushless Motor by Rotor Ron. Not sure how much more needed to be done to it, but he had a discount code and I saved $15 on it plus no shipping or taxes. It's going in my 4wd buggy.
