Sunnysky Edge Lite motors
#1
Anyone tried them. I just ordered a set. Still in prototype stage it seems but look nice. Wish I could find some specs but nothing comes up. The way they are designed I imagine they should run cool.

Picked up a set tonight. Luckily they had a few 2205 2300kv that had not been stocked yet they sold me Smile. The owner showed me some thrust tests they had done. Looks like they gave the Emax red bottoms a little spanking. He said these should be close to final version, so if anyone is interested its not a bad idea to grab some now with the promotional price. According to him this price is near what they have in them, just trying to get some feedback on them.

These likely won't be as robust as the normal Edge motors, the aluminum is cut as about as much as you can get away with, for those trying to pinch off every gram. We shall see I suppose. Hollow shaft which is supposed to be tougher?

Also had some new escs follow me home.

I just did some thrust tests the only way I know how... In the air Smile My smile meter says they rock. Much more thrust than my sunnysky 2207 2100s I had on. But between them and the blheli_s its hard to say which contributed more to the flight performance. I love these escs. 

Question for you Oscar, these escs seem to have some strong breaking. Did u notice more noise when you dropped the throttle. Almost a low stuttering sound? I'm getting video lines when breaking too. Think I need some caps. Which do u recommend? I don't have room to put one on the battery pads, so will have to put one on each ESC I suppose.

Edit: The price online is the promo price. What I meant was because these are not the final product they can be had cheaper. I imagine the final price will be closer to 20 bucks.

As above, love em. Think I'm gonna get another set for my other quad. The owner of buddyrc told me he's gonna start a thread soon on rcgroups with data. Keep an eye out for it. He showed me what one of the tests one of his guys did, and the 2205 2300 beat the emax rs by about 100 grams.

Wanted to mention something about these Edge Lite motors that you need to look out for. When tightening them to the arms, be careful that you don't make them too tight. They are easy to twist or warp a little, probably because of how much material is removed from the bottoms. When I install motors I always spin the bell to make sure there is no binding. Two of them were fine, but the other two I had to gently tighten and hope loctite keeps them on. I usually only use two screws. But I did try 4 on these and it makes them harder to keep the twist out.

It could be that the arms on my frame are less than perfectly flat, or maybe the motors. Eventually I'm gonna try lapping the arms and motor bottoms to see which is not flat.
