Well....@manyc I just spent 18 minutes watching that (dam you lol!) and yes I am impressed with KDE. I know this much - many of the KDE motors I have seen perform really well, so good infact that I know of some helicopters that actually exploded (yes - "EXPLODED") and others strip main gears. It seems that MR KDE focuses on extreme type motors and he has some interesting design concepts (multi strand vs single) and high quality (the motor core lamination's) . I cant see any reason why you should not buy it!

 

I have also corrupted @3dmick who is looking into this as well. anyone used any of these motors? I wish to get an informed opinion... plus i still need to get some funds together....

and @HeliGod Father my Mini protos would not agree...

 

I wouldnt go past the the Xnova @Manyc they are top notch motors I love em

 

Now I know you're looking at the KDE, and I'm sure they are a good motor, but just for information I believe you should know that Zen will have the full range of Xnova's in my warehouse delivered this Friday.... Hell, I might even do another heligods 10% off vouchers coz I'm so excited about it.
So there !!

 

hhhmmm.... hhhmm... you got the one for the 570 in there as well? the temptation series is as far as i know, only in the 700 class...

you get them in stock.. show me some sexy pics... and you just might get yourself a purchase.. I mean getting the motor the next day instead of 2-4 weeks.. hhmm...

hell when you got the blacklines(they are at the post office btw) in I saw the post at 5am and got up and ordered a set straight off...

 

XTS series is for 700-800 class @Manyc

Trust me the Xnova is the better choice all your gear WILL run cool

 

The fan aint needed now it was hardwired for the last motor and couldnt be stuffed removing it

 

Yes we have ordered the xnova 4025-560 goblin version in the first batch
Power increase should be noticeable compared to the quantum. But ofcourse I am only guessing from specs as I haven't flown one yet.
From the specs it is an impressive piece of kit, with more power than any equivalent motor in other brands, except perhaps the pyro - but even with the pyro it is comparable. Not cheap though, but then again, quality costs

wow, after looking at the specs I think i might have just sold one to myself...


And yes - I did notice the order placed at 5:17 am - haha.

 

If the difference in 12s xnova vs quantum is the same as the difference between the 6s motors your gunna shiz a brick ive flown both 4020 xnova and quantum on 6s

 

KDE motors are the most powerful and efficient hands down !

 

At last another view point... the specs on paper show that the kde has more power... but that's only on paper... xnova state they are more efficient... I'm impressed with the quad bearings and dynamic can balancing... but people are swearing by the xnova...

Hmmmm....

 

No experience with the Xnova yet but the KDE is an absolute beast and very rarely gets hot. The 500 XF in the gob 500 doesn't bog or get hot.

 

Xnova will pump the kde sideways

 

You flown kde before? Would be interesting to get the view point of someone who has flown both

 

I flew one of the 2nd gen 700kf's it went hard but it came down pretty hot.
Wouldnt say it blew me away.

Pretty sure the older kde are oem'd by NEU Motors very good inrunners

 

Alright... internets have spoken.. both a good... both haul arse... but only one is called the rolex of motors... and that my friends is xnova...

i'll give them a shot... I'm sure I'll be happy... @ZEN RC when they come in, put one aside... she's gonna rock my goblins world!

 

Good choice bro

 

So let it be written, so let it be done!!

I was expecting the stock today, but I'm guessing DHL had other ideas....
They will be in early next week for certain. Will let you know when they arrive. Now you can be just as excited about the arrival of the new stuff as me
