Why do you say this? You do know these are not exclusive in any way, anyone can chat with a reacher rep on alibaba and buy their motors. Plenty of people do this.

Ive been buying and selling reacher motors for years now back from V4 days in fact Reacher motors for me are the only brand motor i have ever stocked.

And I make them availabe at a reaonable price here in the US in fact i am the only retailer for these motors of which there are atleast 3-5 that is actively trying to keep the price as low as possible and i provide great after purchase support.

Ive never copy pasted anything petaining to these motors, when a new version of the motor is available with any improvements the manufacturer makes to it i am always offered a sampe set to test and i base my buying decisions of the performance for that sample.

We are not behind. We have had the newest version in 205kv for months now, and the latest preorder round arrives in 3 weeks. We will have all KVs available 125 through 245 well stocked and shipped in 2 day priority boxes.

Any idea when your 6355’s will be available in 205 (or maybe even 245) kv? Or if you have any plans for 637x size? Im building a new board to be more compact, 6385 is a bit too large for it.

This is true but the markup is significant and the customisation isn’t an option. The value for money is far less with APS

Lol just as an anecdotal example, last year I ordered 2 x 6374 from Saite and had them at my door for $316AUD. Just priced up exactly the same from APS and it came to $481

Yeah sure, but if anyone wants to try them you can get them from APS, they are marked up but they are there. I happen to hate their motors anyhow :joy: (terrible experience with a set)

Maybe, but you can get them fresh custom made from the factory in less than 3 weeks just by talking to a rep on alibaba :man_shrugging:

My last order was made and paid for in less than half an hour from my first contact and they arrived within 3 weeks

I’m a big Saite supporter. But i’d never buy them at APS prices.

How does saite compare versus flipsky? Never tried em myself.

They’re like half the price. Thats a good enough comparison for me :sweat_smile:

Edit: that was totally wrong, they’re actually very similar in cost. Just priced up 2x6374 flipsky for $334AUD, but they were on special. Regular price would be over $350AUD.

Really have no basis for comparison other than cost, the fact that Saite aren’t flipsky and my current kill ratios stand at Saite: 6 alive, 0 dead - flipsky: 2 alive, 1 dead

Interference press fit in the rear cover instead of slip fit.

I spent maybe two days getting to the bottom of that problem, now all your customers can enjoy the benefits :v:

You should send the manufacturer an invoice for your R&D efforts

And while you are at it ask them to figure out a way to get thinner stator laminations and consider making the shaft a tigher fit with the bearings.

Around 2-3 weeks!

Spec the axle to h6 instead of h8 (which i assume is the tolerance applied now)

Eyo guys, what do you think about these?
