This Video is long, but it was intended to help people that have not had the experience soldering and replacing parts like this. And to inform those that want to upgrade motors that the iMotors are great.
I always keep my eyes open for Motors and other items that will help improve my Multi-Rotors. I came across a motor manufactured by iFlight-rc called iPower iPM2212-920KV They now have an online store that you can find here: funtobuyonline.com
iFlight sent me 4 motors and I decided to put them in the Phantom 1 and I think they look so cool with the white background of the Phantom, but besides that they are amazingly Smooth. And the power that I see as I am flying is far beyond the stock motors.
I plan on posting some views of it completed and also flying. You will also see one of the worst mistakes I made when I go full throttle into a tree behind my house! I was trying to fly and record close to the ground at the same time and forgot my back yard was much higher! Good news is everything can be fixed. I ruined a motor on the Tarot gimbal $15 and one prop $5 but my Gps tracker came apart which I am glad it happened near my location. I have already made the changes and feel it will hold up to a similar crash.
All the specs on these motors can be found at tinyurl.com/ov9sau6 NOTICE the Thrust 591g and Let me tell you, if there was anymore it would become a rocket. lol
When I was done flying a few extremely hard flights I noticed just how cool these motors are running which is a great thing and much cooler than the phantom motors. they sound so smooth and almost a whisper at idle.
I cannot recommend these any higher than suggesting if you want power, speed, and quality this would be my recommendation. For the price I don't believe there is anything better. I have not tested the T-motor but I cannot see how it can offer more than the ipower motor and these are Much lower in price.
