Gordon Whitehead 1 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I fly the Katana 50e with the recommended Hacker A50-14S on a 5S 5000 lipo and it's superb. The closest SK3 motor in terms of Kv and weight is this one: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-5055-430kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
