Pros: Easy to install and inexpensive but over time a brushless motor is cheaper

Cons: Heats up quick, generates a lot of RF Noise, and typically lasts about 150 full flight before failure (MTBF).

Typical 370 Carbon Brushed Motor -



This is the current standard motor found on many simple 4-channel single rotor electric helicopters. This main motor does it's job decently. It typically comes with a 10t pinion 2.0mm shaft 0.5 mod. and has a decent voltage operating range from 1.5v to 15 volts typically. The average life cycle is about 150 full flights before needing replacement.

Ways to increase the longevity:

1. Always remove any labels - Like a gold Walkera Label. The label blocks the two side vents.

2. Consider adding a heat sink. Goto: www.rtf-heli.com/ESKYHBFPmod.html
