Mr. Steele motors are bad.
#1
So, today was my  forth time I flew my Mr Steele motors and I noticed that my props were a bit wobbly, one in particular was quite a bit wobbly. I had a minor crash before and I didn't pay too much attention to it. I went home and I put new props on... Still wobbly... Then I looked at the motor and there was some play in the bell, some less some more but all of them were moving. Then after a few hours G3R FPV posted this.



Bottom line: Don't buy Mr Steele's motors.

Your experience is a bummer. I'd be pissed if I had defective motors like this. I've had to replace a couple of motors myself due to damage because I didn't really know how to change the bell out and it was easier just to buy replacements and it sucks dealing with busted motors either way.

If you hadn't posted your experience on here though, this video would have made me skeptical the moment that he said the price. Mr Steele motors don't cost $30. They're about $22... even still I'd rather go with RS2306s as they've been a pretty reliable motor for me so far and are usually under $20 each.

It's probably because he doesn't live in the US, I paid the equivalent of 30$ too for them and I'm NOT happy. N

Mr. Steele used to retail about $28. http://www.helipal.com/tbs-mr-steele-sil...5zEALw_wcB
Prices probably gone down, even though some retailers still have them for $28

gotcha, that makes more sense then, Good to know either way though. I'd be pissed if I had this problem with any of my motors.
