Default Axi, E-Flite, Hacker,Scorpion ,Thrust?

New to electrics, with a topic I am sure that is beaten like a dead horse.

Seems more choices in electric motors that nitro.

Are there any real brands that most use?

Thanks!

I personally use Hacker, but both Hacker and E-Flite are good motors.

I use Torque for obvious reasons... but AXI and Hacker are excellent brands... e-flite are fine as well....

My favorite is Himax, just a really well built motor.
