Sorry for that, it must have been a glitch in the shop system.
Shipments arent tracked - there should be no tracking link included in the first place

Mine didnt work either, I opted for the free shipping and I thought it mentioned something when I purchased and clicked on free shipping, that it said no tracking with the free shipping. no worries from me though, as long as I get them...

Darkshot · 03-10-2014, 03:27 AM

Don't work for me either.

Didn't expect tracking either way.

Also looking really forward to getting these, I've been meaning to get some new motors to diagnose if I have a bad control board or just consistently bad motors. This will give me the answer! Not that I'd mind buying another one of these

benedikt · 03-10-2014, 03:34 AM

I was hesitant in the beginning to offer shipping options without tracking, also for my own piece of mind.
But the available shipping options (international tracking only available for parcels, and they are $20+) made me ship up to 10 motors in padded envelopes at letter rates. Turns out: very fast and reliable. Not a single shipment lost, and I have sent a few thousand motors now. And some took less than a week for 15.000km+.
If demand is further increasing, I will pursue distribution options in US and Europe to spread the motor love across the globe even faster

There's a pack of 4 motors on hobby king has anyone tried that?

benedikt · 03-13-2014, 06:05 AM

nQX motors at HK? That would be news to me. Would you have a link?

If you mean the Pocket Quad motors, they are 7x16mm (wont fit the nQX frame), and they come in CCW only.
Personally, I dislike them so much that I have several packs here unused. I kept buying the Pocket Quads kits for a while, just to get the frames, but those terrible motors went into the stash straight away, in case I find some use for them at some stage. Flying them was no fun..
There are also some new coreless motors on HK, for the new Micro MultiWii Quad. They are 7x20mm. Dont fit the nQX frame either..

The nQX frame takes 6x15mm motors.

Steven0000 · 03-13-2014, 06:30 AM

Also ordered some of these. Can't wait!

benedikt how many posts are you at? I have the same issue where I have to wait for an approval to post and I can't view my, or any others, profile.

EDIT: Well whatda you know, as soon as I posted that^^^ it isn't an issue anymore. Thanks!

benedikt · 03-13-2014, 06:42 AM

You got 7 posts according to your profile, Steven.
I think I had around the same number when I got let free.
Could not find any section in the rules on this forum addressing this.

Comparing you profile to my order queue gives a precise hit

Your motors were posted on Tuesday Aussie time. With a bit of luck, they should hit your door end of next week.

jcmo · 03-13-2014, 10:17 AM

I placed an order for ten of the motors from Micro Motor Warehouse, and really looking forward to checking them out.

I have a stupid question, benedikt - I have several of these little quads in my house. I still have a few stock replacement motors on my shelf, and just want to know if I should avoid letting these new motors get mixed with those for any reason other than wire color confusion.

Makes me curious if the flight controller would compensate properly or freak out LOL

yeah they covered this earlier...the link was not supposed to be their.

benedikt · 03-13-2014, 04:21 PM

That tracking link was an expensive mistake in the template.. Forgot a single character, that messed it up. Has costs me about 50 email replies until now.. Sorry!

jcmo, not so stupid question! Many people just think its OK, mix'me up and then wonder why it's not any better than stock.
I recommend against mixing motors, even if the FC will compensate enough to get them in the air. Here is why:
To get the maximum lift out of a quad setup, you need the same maximum thrust on all corners. If you have 15g of thrust on two corners, and 10g of thrust on the two others, the flight controller will have to limit the output of the two stronger motors, otherwise the copter doesn't fly level, and you end up with 40g max lift instead of 60.

And also: there is one big tule in multicopter setup when you want maximum performance:
Make sure it's mechanically perfectly symmetrical and level, before you start compensating via software!
Image a car with 4 different tires, and you slam the brakes. Yes, the ABS will help you to fly straight, but wouldn't it be better if you had the same traction on all 4 wheels?
Having all 4 motors acting as similar as possible make the quad behave the most predictable.

Do yourself a favour, put 4 of the Chaolis into a single frame and feel the rush.
If then still think you ever want to fly the stock motors again, pick 4 healthy one and put them together in one frame

I just ordered a set, what kind of time frame should I expect?

benedikt · 03-13-2014, 09:01 PM

Just preparing the delivery pigeons to be launched off the rear deck, you order came just in time

Most order to the US arrive quite consistenly around day 10.
8 if you are lucky, 14 if you are not so much.

Im sure we will see posts here shortly with reports on transit time

Sweet, But still going to be a LONG 10 days

benedikt · 03-13-2014, 09:57 PM

Im sorry.. Im working on speed improvements for you US guys!

Jomaba4308 · 03-13-2014, 10:13 PM

That's fine. I can deal with it, I still have 4 good stock motors.
I just can't wait to bounce it off of the ceiling a couple times

the 45c battery was a big improvement, I want to see what these motors will do on 45c

Do u have a link on the 45c batteries? How much time did it increase the flying time?
Thanks

these are about .50 above normal price but the shipping is real fast for east coast people so I usually order from them if I want it fast!

giiba · 03-14-2014, 08:26 AM

A stupid question,

when you talk about CW & CCW motors, what perspective are you looking at the motor from; are you looking at the output shaft end or the wiring end of the motor?

CW and CCW denotes which way the props spin so the shaft end.
