The throttle is much more responsive and it just "feels" better overall. Glad I moved to 4s! I find it easier to balance these motors and they aren't as prone to the odd resonant vibrations I have gotten on several of those 2213 motors. They aren't the smoothest motors out, but the are doing the job here.

    I haven't flown longer than 8 minutes, but when I land, I still have about half the pack left.
    Good to know. What about the props? I've tried with 10x4.5, but even balanced they don't run as good as 9x5 3-blades.

    I have APCs on here so that it's a slim package when folded and fits neatly in my trunk. So far they seem ok. I haven't flown with GoPro in bright day light to test for vibrations. I do prefer the 9x5x3 props even if they are less efficient. They somehow are less prone to vibrations...not sure why.

    Let me know how vibrations are with a gopro, I might use this motor over dt-750's with apc 10x4.7 props on 4s.

    I'll post a video after I get my tricopter tuned. Have to adjust the PID since changing motor and adding battery weight. Probably later this week.

    Our http://getfpv.com store now has the NX-4008 620KV motors in stock. These are great motors on 4s and 10x4.7 props. With a 3300mah battery you get over 20 minutes of flight time. We also have the 18amp Plush ESCs back in stock and now have a full assortment of APC CW and CWW/Pusher props in 10x4.7 and 11x4.7.

    Hmmm, so my Tricopter fell off the table and now my servo arm is a little loose. I don't want to wait for HK to deliver a new Blue Bird servo so what servos do you guys recommend for the rudder that I can grab from a LHS?
    FPV is not a crime!

    Hitec HS-65MG. You might need to so some surgery for it to fit. I am using TowerPro MG-90 in mine so I needed to make an additional wood mount so it fit.
