That looks a nice motor and not a ridiculous price like most are as well

It's unlikely to be a rebranded LRP motor (it looks different for starters). Impossible for me to say whether it is from the same supplier or whether it is a very close copy of inferior quality without having one and running one.

Whether it is EFRA legal depends on EFRAs rules. It's not BRCA legal right now, but that might change if someone decides to submit one.

Motors are a tricky one. Just because the can looks fast doesn't mean the motor is fast! These could either be a club racing bargain or a waste of money - and you won't know unless you buy one.

On the review of the 13.5t one guy says its the same as lrp x12 and assembles resembles the reedy motor. One guy say's the rotor is 12.5mm.

In the discussion of the motor it's mentioned that the motor is roar legal.
So hoping that some guy in here have some experience with this motor

I've got an 8.5t version and it's very good for the money. It's visually a clone of the reedy motors. I haven't run a reedy but I can tell you that this motor is smooth. I've also got an x12 and it's no where near as hot or aggressive as that. The only problem I had was getting the solder to actually take to the tabs, but otherwise really happy with it. Buy one, it will be money well spent

I've got the 7.5t version of one of these that i'm putting in a project car (a HPI cup racer) that i'm building over the winter. All the reviews said how good it was, so it was pretty much a no-brainer really. The finish on all the machining seems really good, especially for the price.

I find the turnigy stuff is really good

I run 3800 turnigy lipos in my car and they have been no hassle in the 6 months ive ran them

Just ordered 2 5000 lipos from them which are roar approved ( whatever that is) and at 30 quid for the pair they are half the price of model shop lipos and twice the capacity!

Im also running a leopard motor which i think they supply and its great as well!
