Hirobo XRB coaxial motors?
Hi
I'm looking for motors for the little Hirobo coaxial helicopter. The originals have a lot of hours and have pretty much died. What I've found is that Hirobo wants $40 per motor. The easy math means its $80 to get it back flying. Some of the coaxial heli's out there don't cost much more for the complete machine! Has anyone found a replacment power package that works good & is in a much more reasonably priced range? The little chopper is a blast to fly.... Thanks Terry |

Re: Hirobo XRB coaxial motors?
Almost.... The tethered version uses larger (heavier) motors that have the flats on the sides. The RC version has the smaller lighter corless motor. I looked around on the site & didn't see the coreless version. I'd be so happy at 12 bucks instead of the 40 bucks though!!!!!

 What is different with coreless motors?Reason for adopting this coreless motor is to cut weight. There are many additional improvements with this motor such as noise reduction, and better durability. Please note : Even though SR flight time is 15 minutes, please try to land/rest once in several minutes. Keep flying 15 minutes can wear down motors very fast. This coreless motor cannot be used for cable XRB. Here's the picture of the two motors (RC / tethered) |

Re: Hirobo XRB coaxial motors?
I might have a broken XRB sitting in a box somewhere collecting dust....OR I got rid of it.
If I can find it....Your welcome to the entire thing.
