-8 kills the 430x plain and simple. -6 has the most but 4 min flight times with the best lipo. 430x has the longest flight time

Scorpion -8 has similar flight time as Align's 430XL motor, but has slightly more power since it is more efficient.

Your choice is obvious. If you don't already have a 430XL, then buy the Scorpion -8, it's the best choice. If you already have a 430XL, the -8 isn't that much better to warrant the $50 upgrade.

I recently got the 2221-8 for my SA, which had the 430x. Outhouse is right on. The power difference is incredible. REALLY impressive. I've made other changes that were dramatic, but even carbon blades didn't show this much improvement.

However, my 2 weakest packs, which I could use to slow FF around the field for 5 minutes on my 430x, will no longer even hover without tripping the low battery on the ESC. I can still fly my Kongs for 5 minutes at about 3000RPM.
