Introduction:

After destroying my previous eaglepower 8000kv, I wanted another 8000kv and so I decided to test these cheap motors I had lying around.

Components

  • Teeny F4 pro 1-2s FC
  • Super S Esc (2s only)
  • 1102 8000kv motors with Gemfan 3025
  • RMRC Newt 3" frame
  • AKK A1 camera Eachine TX06
  • Frsky 8 channel receiver

Conclusion:

This came to 43g. Only one of the motors were smooth and the others seemed to have noisy bearings. Will need some time to fly and test it out.

Update 5/17/19 - After a hard crash into a light pole, the camera got crushed and had to be replaced. I took the chance to add a buzzer as well and now it is 44g dry.

Update 6/12/19 - This quad really isn't great. The power is lacking on 2s compared to every other quad and is a beast to tune. There's a ton of prop-wash and is just overall a terrible flier. I've also had to replace two motors already because they just don't hold up well. One of the bells just flew off one time while in midair!

Despite the bad performance, I'm going to keep this for a while just for comparison purposes.
