Hey guys. I don't have enough to buy a bunch of motors, but I might have enough for maybe 2. I need help deciding on which motor/motors to get. Here are the brands I'm looking at.

• ORCA BLITREME 3
• R! Wurks V30
• Fantom Helix v2
• Team Power V5S (I'm leaning away from this one because it's just a rebadged Surpass V6 and they are not even trying to hide it)
• Maclan MMR V4
• Muchmore Fleta ZX v3
• Bust Sonic (not ROAR approved, but it's made in Japan)

All those brands you mentioned have many achievements.
--- Actinium has many design differences. It just took 4 podium lockouts at Northern California onroad Championship ....along with the offroad stock wins. It also just won Pro10 Euro Stock on the weekend

I've got the TP V5S and don't like it. So my vote is get that one so I can see how bad it looks on the dyno, or see if you can find some better settings for it...

What timing are you running at?

I’d personally go with the Orca and Fantom as these two brands dont seem to get exposure atound these parts like the other brands. Give something new a chance to shine just like you did with the Surpass. The Fantom is a good motor. It’s been across my bench for a once over. I haven’t tried an Orca yet. Its on my list to try.

I have one more to add. I just saw it in another thread, and it reminded me of it.

• Turnigy TrackStar (It doesn't appear to be ROAR legal)

So, I have one vote each for the Actinium, Team Powes, and ORCA.

I've reached out to all of these companies to see it I could get a discount on their motors, to help me get more motors, and none of them got back to me. I guess I will have to pay full pop and only get one motor. Bummer!

You are basically doing what Joe (another forum) has done for lipos and these companies should be sending you motors to test free of charge. I know due to mass production and some of the motors being from lets say 1 factory in China, they'll pick 1 or 2 for inspection and the rest will just go as if they were all tested. I enjoyed when you tested my motor and was 100% honest about it and imagine if the factory had done the rotor like I mentioned to you along with it being a larger diameter than others, boy I could've used cheaper magnets and gotten probably over 2000gauss just for bragging rights rofl. If one day I get back to it, I'll be sending you motors and probably an industrial type tester tat will allow you to test any turn motor.

I wish companies would send me motors. Only one company offered a deal so their motors could reach the masses. I guess it can be considered as a cheap way to advertise. I now have just over 1300 subscribers and over 6500 views per month. The problem with factories sending me motors is, I don't know if they sent me a random motor or a motor they tweaked to make it perform really good on my tests.

If you're looking for an R1 V30 to test I have one I can send your way. Installed it in one of my buggies but have yet to get it to the track.

That would be great! Has it been used at all? I want to make sure it receives a fair test. Any excessive heating over 130 degrees might weaken the rotor strength.

Just been run on my Tunalyzer and rotor strength checked on my rotor master, no track time.

I’ll sell u reds racing pro versions to test.

Hopefully more and more people will send you motors for you to test and keep making nice videos. I would love to one day see a 4 or more pole sensored motor with similar Kv ratings be tested.
