I put these motors into a stryfe build I have been working on and originally they worked amazing and was very happy with them. However, maybe a month after installing them with only light-moderate usage the Loki motors didn't spin up evenly, didn't spin fully up as much as they used to, and started smelling kind of smoky or like something was burning when they spun. Sad to see that because they had been working great for me. Overall, these motors are amazing when then work, just sadly seem to have reliability issues
Specs of build:
Single stage Loki 130s
Worker 42.5 mm cage
Containment Crew Infernos V2
Not sure if this matters but I did use silicone dampeners
Tattu Micro 1050mAh 3S 75C LiPo
Hello Reuben,
Im sorry to hear you were having issues with our Loki's It is worth noting Lokis are a low torque high rpm motor and not intended for full sized flywheels unless places in a second or third stage. If you are doing a single staged build with Lokis its recommended to use nightingale wheels or similar sized micro wheels. This is explained in our listing and we are sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
3/4 motors smoked after 1 second
Hi A,
Could you tell us more about your setup? What cage, wheels, battery and cage spacing are you using? We'd be happy to help diagnose what's going on here.
Have a nice color
These motors have power! The rev is unbelievable. Great torque!
A shout out to the Out of Darts team for their customer service. I had a slightly damaged motor and they replaced it for free, cost on them. They responded to my questions promptly and I definitely will use them in the future. Best company I've ever worked with! Keep it up guys!
These motors are amazing! They make this gun have an amazing range and rate of fire. The recoil, blast power, accuracy, and smoke (dart dust) made this gun amazing. Just a warning do not use stock flywheels the motors will melt them.
