Lenx heli 8000kv BL motor for 130x

[aloukz]

Fastlad Performance has a lynx heli 8000 kv motor for the 130x. Any views on it lads...?
Buy or not to buy.....????

[Reality Bites]

I thought it was 8350kv? Anyway, I've got one waiting to go into mine along with a few other select upgrades (head, grips, tail box and grips etc). Just got to find time to fit it all.

Lets see how it is. Enjoy...!

From reading up on HeliFreaks it seems like a great motor & perfect setup for the 130x

What amazed me is how tiny it is. It's around half the height of the stock motor! Supposed to give the power of the spin variant (if not a little more) with the battery usage of stock.

So tempted to sell the Spin & buy this

I don't think you would lose much! It comes with a small carbon strengthening plate too. Oh and it's very pretty (i know that sounds gay but it is :-/ )

Lol, not too bothered about the strengthening plate as I have the carbon frameset

Yup will match thr rest of my 130

Out of interest, which carbon frame did you go for? Does it crash ok? My worry about making it all stiffer was its crash ability. I am very tempted by the carbon frame as I have pretty much every other upgrade waiting to go on.

Went with : Xtreme Productions Carbon Fibre Frame Set 130X B130X26

Went together great & motor fits even better, easy access to the servos also.

Have not had a major crash as yet but a few bumpy landings & a couple of low level crashes into kitchen units & it's been fine

My 130x has some of the xtreme upgrades & quite a few from the lynx range

According to some reviews from beta testers on Helifreak, the motor is claimed to be lighter than stock, more powerful and gives virtually the same flight times so it seems like a no brainier to me.

I was considering the Spin 8000 but will be getting this in a few weeks along with a few more upgrades ;-)
