Vivian Tan and some other T-Motor employees have broken away from T-Motor and started a new company called Axis Flying, and they will be manufacturing and selling motors amongst other things. So it looks like we will have a kid on the block providing the hobby with motors that are as good or better than what we've been used to from T-Motor. Their Facebook page is at the link below...

Damien Gans (Black Bird FPV) has now also disassociated himself from T-Motor and is moving his brand of Black Bird motors to Axis Flying...

Yeah... JB said they only sell from their company at the moment.. and are sending motors out to pilots..
I hope things work out for them.. and they offer a quality product.. doing something like this is a big leap for anyone...

Damien made another statement on his FB page this morning...

https://www.facebook.com/DamiGans/posts/...8617331651

If you read through the comments, below was T-Motor's response to some questions he asked them Doh Someone at T-Motor clearly doesn't have a clue about motor design, which is quite worrying.

It seems to be a recent batch issue with the 6S version.
My original set of 4S BB V2 still going strong but I will be a bit weary of any new replacement and will pay extra close attention to the magnets.

The issue only seems to be prevalent on the batch 8 Black Bird V2 motors. Any of the earlier batches seem to be OK. If anyone has any T-Motor Black Bird V2 motors, check for "08" (or a later number) stamped somewhere on the base. Anything with an earlier number should be OK.

What this all means for the other lines of T-Motor motors going forward I don't know, but if anyone buys some they would be wise to thoroughly check the magnets when they get them. If you own a previous motor of the same type then comparing new motors to the older ones will also make any anomalies easier to spot.

I've always been a big fan of T-Motor. But other companies are really stepping up their game. I am liking the new Diatone Mamba line of motors, Flywoo has been impressing on all fronts not just motors, and Airblade UAV has been in my opinion a big sleeper in the micro motor department.

I guess all empires must fall.

I got these motors just days before I saw this. And just my luck these are 08's. Took a peek at the magnets and yep...smaller sizes mixed here and there. Just my luck.

That's bad luck. The only sensible thing to do is to contact the vendor and get them returned for full refund. I assume you're already doing that. Make sure you also demand a full refund for any shipping you paid as well because this wasn't your fault. The vendor will then need to claim that money back from T-Motor.
