Trust me I totally understand your argument but it came down to what functioned the best and the maxon I ordered just didn't cut it. If I find a motor from someone else that works better then I will go with it for the future. My new selection of motors to try out should be at my door soon and one of them is another style of Maxon and if it out performs the others then it will get the job haha. The Graupners I ordered are looking nice to me too...I love trying new things
