Hey guys,
I've been on the hunt for a brushless motor for my E-starter. I ran across this little guy... http://epyaya.com/product_info.php?cPath=225_226_104&products_id=1923&osCsid=a718b1b61a5cc308c4ae4e356786be88
I'm running an 18a esc and a 7.4 volt 2 cell lipo batt. Any thoughts??? Thanks

You said you were looking for a brushless motor, but the one you linked to says "brushed." Also, did you see this (http://www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14952) thread?

Thanks so much for the reply!!!!!
You're very right.... my mistake -- and Yeah I did end up reading that thread... I went with the same package. How is it working for you??

Thanks again

By the "same" package, do you mean the Epyaya package that I linked to in my first message in that topic, or the ad hoc package that David and Ron helped me decide on?

I haven't yet bought all those items; at the moment I'm held up over the frustrating decision on what lipo battery charger to buy. I'm also considering upgrading my Wing Dragon to brushless first as a sort of build-practice-run, then getting the Estarter and transferring some of the components.

Oh I see... I chose the package you created with help... I've got a different ESC for a brushless motor (same amp rating as the one you decided on) and a different kind of LiPo batt but went with the same motor and prop that your last package consisted of. I ordered the stuff today so with any luck I'll have it mounted by next week.
