So what motors are you guys using?  I'm looking to change things up and get some no motors just for fun.  Curious what everyone's running.

Racerstar BR2205 2300KV
These are the only brushless motors I have used so I have nothing to compare them against but they are working great for me.

I have the the 2600kv version I really like them.

My favs so far are the old Tiger 2205 2500kV on 2blade 5045. But my rcx motors work fine as well and are 4 times cheaper

Try the RCX RS2206 v3 (or V2) if you don't mind waiting for the long shipiping, these are probably the best value motors out there for their performance

"shipiping" yes they really are. I bought mine at myrcmart and they arrived in switzerland after 5 days with cheapest shipping option. Without warranty/support option they are i think 8$ a piece, can't get much cheaper than that...

I've been using the rcx 2206 v2 on my main quad for more than 6 months now and they are solid performers. I recently changed bearings as the old ones was starting to sound a bit rough

I'm using the RMRC Blue Series motors. Lots of torque and quite smooth. But I see that a lot of top pilots are using the Armattan Oomph motors. Finger........on...............order button............must.................resist..............

I am still using the 2204 2300 cobras on my first build.  Using Emax red bottoms on my Tweaker5 and I have a set of Armattan Oomph motors on the way (I couldn't resist...I tried)for the build I am currently working on.

I have various sizes of Racerstar motors from Banggood and I have had no problems or complaints. The ones on my current favorite quad (Spaceone 220x frame) are the 2403 2300kV. These are super cheap ($23 for a set of 4) and work great: https://www.banggood.com/4X-Racerstar-Ra...72092.html

(I've also got some "unbuilt" Brother Hobby Toronado 1407s that I'm looking forward to.)

I ended up getting 13 lightly used T-Motor F40s (2205, 2300kv) for $10 each. Have them on 3 different quads and they've been great for nearly 7 months now. Use them for racing and for freestyle.
They were a significant upgrade from my previous "GoolRC" 2204 2300kv motors.
I know there are much more powerful motors out there these days, but honestly these things just treat me so well I'm sticking with them for as long as I can.

Hyperlite V4, basically the brother R4 returner. So far no complaints, I was a but skeptical of the skirtless motors but they've held up to this noobs torture so far.

I am the cliché here I guess
I really like my Emax RS2205S 2300kv. Although I dont have experience with others yet they still give me chills every time I punch out

Can confirm, friend has several of them, also the 2600kV version...

My OG 2204 2300kv Cobras are still flying
RCX V3 2205 2400kv - best value for performance as Oscar stated ($9). 2206 would be the option for heavier props
Tornado T2 2600kv - my motor of choice right now. Great mix of power, reliability and they run extremely cool. Only 5S on Cyclone 5046 made them hot to the touch. A lot of top performing motors on the market are made by brotherhobby right now or are based on their Returner line stators/bells.

First version of Racerstar RS2205 was made from butter. Those are the only motors that I managed to damage physically in a short time - dented bell etc. IMO - it's really worth spending a few bucks more on different motors.
