Here's an exciting announcement - say hello to your next brushless motor.
Always wanting to improve the RC experience for our customers, we've been working hard to bring you some brand new motors designed by us from the ground specifically for our FT planes and quads. Now they're here. These - drumroll please - are the Flite Test Radials.
What are the Flite Test Radials?
Flite Test Radial brushless motors are superb options for powering a spectrum of different planes and quads. They have been designed by the Flite Test team for top performance on Flite Test designs but also work great as replacement motors and for custom projects.
Each motor features unique fins machined into the bell draw up cool air from the motor base and through the coils as the motor spools up. The faster it spins, the more air it ventilates. These cooling fins can reduce heat soaking by up to 30% depending on your environment. That's impressive! They also harness the power of N52 magnets. N52 Magnets are arguably the highest grade magnets available to date. They provide improved acceleration, stopping power, and sustained RPMs during high kV running.
It's also worth mentioning that each motor comes in these super nice boxes. Check out that sweet radial graphic!
Currently Available to Order
Although as of November 2018 these motors aren't stocked in our powerpack kits right now, we will be adding them at a later date. Today, though, you can order the individual motors from the Flite Test store and be one of the first to test them out for yourself!

Couple of things, one I think there is a typo, when you're talking about the smallest motor you put 1906 and 1806,
Also when will the 2218 1180kv motor be in stock? I'm guessing this is for the C pack sized planes?
