Does anyone have a brushless conversion yet!?!?!?

[superjet112x]

Dylan @ Astroid designs will be working on it as soon as he gets it in his hands, will be sending mine to him for a full BL make over

Seriously, brushless... im sure dylan, nccraig, issac end up bl there power freaks lol im thinking it have plenty power brushed have wait and see

It already flies like a brushless MCPX. I really don't think the extra weight of brushless will do any good for the performance. '

This and .. yep

[Rocketman777]

Well ......... it is not only a quest for more power, it is more a question of reliability since every eflite brushed motor that I've used has had a limited life span. I'd rather put a few bucks up front into a reliable, more powerful motor than shelling out the cash for subpar stock motors and dealing with the agravation of frequent motor changes.

Er... generally speaking, a brushless conversion comes in at the same weight or even lighter, as a BL motor is normally significantly lighter than a brushed. The question is more of if the added BL ESC IC weight will close that delta.

I think the HPo3S + XP-3a will probably be the same weight as stock, if not a tiny bit lighter.

Flies like a brushless mcpx until the motor gets hot or starts to wear out, ask the msrx guys how long their stock motors last..

You can do brushless on the msrx with bigger batteries (240 mah vs 150) and add less than a gram...

I thought it was a new motor?

So was the one on the MSRx.... Most probably the same design/parts just a different RPM and possibly length. Still a $0.50 motor they charge $10 for....

[burnoutboy]

If the pinion gear has a different number of teeth but the motor is EXACTLY the same it still gets a new part number (mSRX and CW mQX for example). Has eFlite confirmed it's a new motor or is it just a new part #??

[Dylwad]

They said new motor, not that it matters what they say

+1. Something like, 'New motor, very strong.'

300 flights in. Old msr .and never changed the motor they should leave good things alone

I am still on stock msr x motor with no death yet lol. I have had at least 100 flights so far. We will see though.

You got a good one then, or arent flying it hard enough

I already have the hp03s and xp3a coming from Dylan. I'll definitely try the bl setup.
