Please dont read anything into that last statement, I just wanted to see how they performed so we tested a few.
This is good and useful to know--thank you for posting this information, John!

I'm no longer on FaceBook thanks to some...unpleasantness that soured me on the whole shebang, *but* I would be happy to write a postal letter or letters to Estes and/or Hobbico to suggest a few motor types. Who (if you can say without getting into any hot water) would you recommend that I "attention" the letter(s) to? I won't mention you in the letter(s) if you wish. (Even if I was still on FaceBook, I think a postal letter carries more weight because the recipient knows that the sender cares enough about the subject to have expended some time, effort, and money to compose, write, and mail the letter.)
