OUTSTANDING!Review by Chris

I run Strictly dirt oval. Put my HobbyStar 17.5 to the test this last weekend. I put it in my sprint car and ran it in two classes 305 Sprint (17.5) and 360 sprint (13.5). It was amazing. I placed 3rd in the 305 class and 7th in the 360 class running against high dollar 13.5 motors. I should have know that it would do well considering this motor is the in it second season of use. I ran this motor all season last year in my 17.5 B mod and won the track championship. it says something about a motor when a 17.5 can beat out a 1/3 of the field that's running 13.5 motors.

13.5 MOTOR REVIEWReview by STLNLST

Great motor that won't break the bank while still offering top level performance. Ran this motor at LSR Speedway for a couple of weeks figuring out the sweet spot for timing at gearing in a 4WD buggy. 55 degrees of motor timing and a FDR of 7.4 runs with the bigger brand motors. Motor does run on the hot side if not properly vented and a fan placed on the motor. (Posted on 4/23/2017)

It is si easy to be pulled to overspend on many products in this industry. I can tell you these motors are nothing short of amazing. I have had a plethora of other high end big brand 540.brushless motors all priced double to triple the cost of HSTAR's Comp. 540 brushless motors in which really non of them provided better performance, quality. These HSTAR 540 competition motors are simple amazing. (Posted on 1/29/2017)

Super fast and runs cool. My temperature test it after each race and it's never been over 120F. I recommend them for sure.
Run it in my 2wd buggy and 4wd buggy sometimes. (Posted on 9/5/2016)

I've converted just about everything I have to use these and have a few KV varieties to choose from, drifters, touring cars, and a buggy. Pro motors at a 3rd of the price. simply stellar. I'm even starting to supply my friends with them once they hear the price point after I crush them :-) (Posted on 4/18/2016)

This series motor is better than the costly top name brand motors. High quality throughout. Rotor has thump. I used a 7.5 in my 22T and get wheelies! (Posted on 11/21/2015)
