Thanks man, glad you're still here too. Aww, let's hug haha jk.
My problem is I can't stay still. I get one thing and do everything I can to learn everything about it and then after spending all of my extra cash I move onto something else and the process just keeps repeating itself. I've been all over the place from onroad to buggies, trucks and MT's to fast electric (FE) boats (wood and ABS) to nitro airboats to now the micros.
Like I said, my latest thing is the 1/18's. I got a killer deal on a hooked up MRS4 started racing it, then picked up the 18t. Now I'm broke again LOL.
I've run the Speed 300's and the S-280. The S-280 pulls harder on the low end and turns higher rpms for more top speed. Runtime was just about the same between the 2, I really couldn't tell a difference in that. Now, for the best part, the S-280 is cheaper! The timing on it is not adjustable, but to tell you the truth I've never had the want to adjust it. It really is a great running motor and IMO for the money it's unbeatable.
In the picture on Tower it shows a sticker on the can, the ones my HS sells don't have the sticker on it, it's just a shiny black can (which is cool because then people guess what you have). Ohh yeah, you'll find the S-280 in the section with the airplane motors, not the micro motors. Shh, it'll be our little secret :no_commen .
Reading the description on Tower, the Orion Baja is a closed endbell motor, meaning the timing on it is not adjustable.
...Great Planes S-280bb with replaceable brushes. I'm tellin ya, you just can't beat it.
