Last years motors...

[Alan Reeves]

I am looking for a new motor and can only afford one of last years models which now are reduced to around £50.

Is there much difference between the different makes or are they all much the same?

Looking at either a 7.5 or an 8.5 for a 2wd Durango to be used with a 120a xerun.

Can anyone recommend a good one to go for and a website I can find it?
Must be around the £50 mark.

Thanks

Have a look at the HPI motors from MB Models, very good and very good price. £2 over your budget and NEW.

Yea should have mentioned looking for a new one, and budget is around £50 so £52 is a good price, thanks for the heads up, any others worth considering?

That is on my shortlist atm, along with the hpi one.
Just thought I'd ask a few opinions before splashing out because its got to last me all year

The lrp motor seems good as all ive heard is good things from then but haven't tried one. i haven't heard anything about the hpi one but im sure someone will have an opinion on it.

LRP X12 all the way!

Just keep an eye on the bearings and keep them oiled

Ive now got an orca hope it all goes well as i had so much bad luck with my speed passion motors

+1 LRP X12

Run pretty hot, but nothing to worry about.

Not heard anything bad about Speed Passion motor's... RC Lazy are having a clear out on ebay, they've only got a 5.5 listed though, maybe a bit too quick ?

They're similar to speed passion but have solder tabs so don't have the issue with connectors failing. I'm sure you be happy with it!

I run a 7.5 HPI motor. I was in the same position as you, and choose the HPI over the LRP due to people saying how hot the LRP motors get compared to the HPI. Some say that the heat is not an issue, but I was unsure. Anyway I am very pleased with my choice.

Hpi 7.5
Durango210
Lovely combination
Lrp motors cook

[arransmith27]

I ran an HPI 7.5, very good motor

[Alan Reeves]

What about the speed passion v3? I've seen these for £55 ish. Any others worth considering?
Seems the HPI has more followers than the LRP, but the LRP specs show more rpm and kv than the hpi.

[mikeyscott]

Hpi or orca would be my choice based on price.

We ran an Orca rx2 in the 24 hour race , the temps ranged from 69 to 119 degrees.

It ran faultlessly for the whole period , what a bloody amazing motor.

+1 for LRP
