NiGHT LiONS TECH(tm) Upgraded 4pcs Motor with Brass Gear Rc Quadcopter Spare Parts for Syma X8c X8w X8g

I installed these in one of my Syma X8C quads that I own after noticing the motors were having a tough time lifting the quad. I can't say how great these motors are and how much of a difference they have made in being able to fly my quadcopter now. They have alot more power and lift than the stock motors I had in the quadcopter and it makes a noticable differnece in control and flight time as well.The addition of the brass gear also makes these motors much quieter than my original stock motors as well. I would highly recommend these to anyone needing to replace or to just upgrade their stock motors on their Syma X8C.Pros: Brass gear makes for quieter flights, big differnce in thrust and control, longer flight times than stock motorsCons: None at this timeI will update this thread at a later date if I have any issues with these motors.If you found this review helpful please click yes below and as always any and all comments are welcome.

So far so good, but I don't have much time on these motors.Installing them was easy, thanks to Syma for making these motors easy to remove and replace.I noticed when I first opened the package that the little circuit cards on the back of each motor looked shoddy in terms of messy solder joints and quality of workmanship. The stock motors look much nicer and same is true for motor case. The stock motors feel slightly heavier but I did not weigh them to confirm.After installing two motors I turned the rotors on both the old and new motors by hand and the night lion motors are much smoother. It was very noticeable both in feel and sound in turning the rotor by hand. The stock motors gears seem to bind a little which created some gear noise and more friction too.After installing all four motors and reassembly I successfully tested everything out. It does operate quieter and smoother. I don't notice a huge improvement in flight performance, maybe with more flight time it will be more noticable.I was mostly impressed with how easy this was, and the first test was successful!

These "upgrade" motors are exactly that. Easy to replace, more responsive, quieter and have completely fixed my problem with VRS.I puchased these motors for an X8 that was found in a tree with a bad motor. After noticing how much more responsive they were, I immediately purchased another set for my main X8C. (DBPowers Camera, FPV camera with seperate battery, Gimbal, and lipo buzzer. Total - 150 grams) I was having a problem with VRS and now the problem is gone.Less than 20 minutes to replace all 4 motors. Remove the cups on the bottom of each motor and unplug. 2 screws on top and motor slides right out. Only do one at a time so you dont mix up the cw and ccw motors.

How are these not getting more bad reviews?? We bought 5 sets for use on 3 different X8's and had failure after failure mostly related to fact they need long cool times between runs unlike stock motors or else they burn up by the 2nd-3rd battery every time. Always back 2 motors failing first. We did tons of testing because we are x8 addicts and confirmed these can not handle normal use for more than 15-25 flights when the stock motors will do 100+ with out failing in most cases. I strongly suggest getting extra stock motors instead of these. The power gain is not significant regardless, maybe 25% gain tops but not worth time it takes to swap them out all the time let alone the cost. If you can afford it go brushless kit because if you own one already you can have a full size brushless quad for only hundred bux which is bout cheap as they come but this will have x8 usability and survive more crashes than competetors

All four motors were clockwise. Two had the blue wires. Two were black. Not impressed. I can't fly it today in the rain, but I'm not expecting much. I'll update if these turn out to be something special. Otherwise, I'd steer clear unless you know how to solder (which you should, btw.) Cheap, but so far more agrivating than a simple plug and play.

I only have about 6 flights on these motors ( about 1 hour total). They worked well for the first 5 flights then on the last flight I lost one of the motors (luckily at about 6 feet off the ground) it made the drone instantly flip over and drop. Drone survived but 1 motor is bad. Had to order another 4 pack of them. I guess for as inexpensive as they are it is not surprising to possible have a defective one. I will give the new ones a try and keep my fingers crossed.

Product came shipped fine. But two of the motors spun the wrong way. After contacting the company about the problem, they said they will work to fix quality control. No recompense for issues. So I'm returning them and the company is pretty pathetic. Thanks for nothing.PS. The motors literally were not any quieter, stronger, and any different than stock motors.

Wonderful upgrade to any Syma X8 drone, they work with the W the G and whatever the other one is too. Not for the X5 though.Installation takes a bit of time, but isn't hard at all if you know how to turn a screwdriver. These babies reduce the noise generated during flight by a good 15-20% and after several flights they seem to add about a minute maybe more of flight time.
