JohnK did you test the 370 motor from hobby people yet?

anthony, i just ran a couple of quick current and rpm tests on it. this motor is different than the 370's that i got from mike. i think mike's are the same as a 310. this motor pulls a lot more current and has at least twice maybe three times the power and rpm! i'm not sure if it will work with the piccoboard or not. i'll have to run a few more tests with it in the copter to be sure.

note: i just compared it to a speed 300 and it's not quite a hot of a motor but close. It may not be a good candidate for a pic unless you have an ESC capable of delivering 8 or more amps continuous.

seems like it's closer to a speed 300, but i'm not sure until i test the hornet motor which is a speed 300.
it also weighs about a 1/2 gram more. if this motor does work w/o cooking the piccoboard, i'm sure it would work in the moth because it's got gobs of power. i'll break it in tommorow so i can get more accurate data from it, and maybe throw it in my full size pic just to see what happens.

not unless you have a separate esc for your main motor that can handle at least 8-10 amps continuous.

the one's from Mike Dammar work perfect though.
