Review on πŸ”§ HobbyZone Champ Gearbox with Motor by Tyler Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replacement motor and gearbox OEM

I bought this motor/ gearbox for my champion. It was a task to get the old one out with as little foam as possible. I used hot glue to reinstall the assembly. I taped the halves of the plane together and took it out for a test flight. I noticed that the new build had a hum or buzz. I threw the plane in the air but it didn't flip! After it crashed I took it apart and found that hot glue had gotten on the steering gears. I removed the glue and tried again, this time the buzzing went away and everything flew fine. Still runs but I've only had about 10 flights on their new motor. Don't forget to pre-check your in-flight controls.

Pros
  • Power steering
Cons
  • Big and bulky
