FWIW, I've used the RCTimer 2830-14's (750KV), Hoverthings 900KV motors, and the NTM 1200KV motors. I prefer a 4s setup so for me the magic combo ended up being the RCTimers (if you can get enough of them to put 4 good ones together, bearings are hit and miss). I have a set of Avroto's I was going to put in it but they just look way too big for this frame. I loved the NTM's but most of my batteries are 4s.

Why didn't you stay with the Hoverthings 900KV?

They were very twitchy for me. I've never experienced a motor causing erratic behavior, but I swapped them out and the issue went away, I put them back in (since I like their build quality much better than the RCtimers) and the hyper sensitive and erratic behavior came back.

hi guys ..
.. now finally i also decided about this sexy frame to be a "must have" for me. it´s kind of complicated and expensive to get it to my country, and for spare parts, shipping cost will be more than the parts .. BUT - after having checked very, very many frames .. for me, this is finally the best of all. so looks like i´m in the line now ..
despite hoverthings being a small business, i found them very kind and responsive; so i believe - if there might be no answer, there should be a reason; it´s definitely not their policy! btw .. right now, tom seems to cut frames 24/7 .. slowly building up even stock.
my only concern now is the cc3d! .. i´m decided to want this board; but after the frame will show up here with me, i´ll have all components for the initial build except flight controller (and fpv, but that´s for later). constantly checking .. no movement visible. no chance to get it .. even not the "old" version ..
kind regards from austria,
christian.
ps: pls. don´t mix it up with australia, i´m living pretty close to the exact opposite side of the globe!

How about some SK3's? I know Dane is using them, good reports so far. Plenty of power (apparently)  Havent seen any video though.

Putting new frame together with all the FPV gear/tracker for footage. Love the motors so far. Can't wait to see how the climb is. I have an eagletree altimeter now so altitude will be accurate.

I have ordered some SK3's to try because of you Dane. They better be as good as you say.

Hey guys, first time posting. Been checking out heaps of fpv videos on the net and decided to start my own build based on the HT-FPV and closely replicating Juz's build. Juz, love your work mate. Cant wait for my frame to arrive and eventually get this thing in the air.
