TUNING TIPS:
If being used on a TP3 frame or other skinny arm frame, consider reducing ramp up/start up power by a notch or two from default. Strongly recommend turning on the D notch filter in any flight code you're running. Consider reducing PID's a bit from default and increasing TPA. The cross braces for the TP3 arms will allow you to reduce filters and achieve higher tuned control performance if you're searching for it.

Recommended uses:
- 3" twin (3018) or triblade (3016) on 2S - 3S
- 2"-2.5" any blades on 3S - 4S
Extended use cases:
- 3" with 4S is fine but tuning will be a PITA. See tuning tips.
- 4" (4023 twin blade) with 2S or 3S is okay but again, difficult to tune.

Its a subjective impression but I feel thees are slightly more powerfull than the previous greenish ones. Super happy as always!
JUST SWITCHED FROM THE TURQUOISE/BLUE MOTORS TO THE WHITE MOTORS AND I LOVE THEM . IT GIVES ME THE ADDED PUNCH I NEED FLYING THE DJI CADDX VISTA VERSION THAT I FLY .
I greatly prefer how Gemfan 3028s fly over the 3016s or 3018s on my tadpole build, 2mm won't allow you to run these however, so in the end it doesn't matter how good these motors are.
Perfect motors for even a slightly heavy build like mine. Pairs really well with the Gemfan 3018s and flys great with a 450 3s up to a 720 3s.
Absolutely love them! Quality is the only thing I can say...... Thank you Bob and Josh. Looking forward to trying more of your products
