(Not sure whether should I post this in Heli Section or RC Electronic Section. Decided to put here because I only test it in Heli)
Recent manage to borrow this motor for testing. This motor is a newer design as compare to those in GS Motor website (www.gsmodels.com or http://www.gsmodels.com/en/productsshow_pbig.php?id=77). This newer has more holes in front and rear end bell. Pinion still remain as 3.17mm.
{Pictures Below}
This motor is about the same size as Mega 3 Turns. Its weight I feels like Align 400L (Because I do not have weighting machine). Its screw mounting is just like Align motor (2 screw holes closer and smaller and 2 bigger and further). This motor should be rated as 3000kv but according to GS website, it rated as 2700kv. There is another motor called AON (http://www.aonelectric.com/ or Part# V2815-300) that has the same design and even the same measurements, internal resistance and idle current but it is rated as 3000kv. Me and Ammo believe both of this motor is the same (Just like JustGoFly distribute MTM of 400DH but rebrand it as JGF).
Tested using:
TRex Stock configuration (Standard Metal boom), mCCPM,
HS-55 for cyclics and HS-56 for tail.
PHX-25 in fixed throttle mode
E-Tec 1700SHP 3S1P.

First test was using ABS Blades. Bench test using 15Pinion but feel that it lack the torque and therefore, motor bog down pretty much when in full pitch.
Switch to 13Teeth pinion. First flight on it and here is the finding:
Its punch up is much much better than Align 400L 2500kv. RPM feels faster than my Align 400L and that is why its punch up is faster due to better RPM. It lack the torque to Align 400L but that is because this is Inrunner motor whereby Align is OutRunner. Due to torque is lower, it does bog when doing rapid maneuver or high cyclics banging. Good thing about this motor is that its current drawn seems like lower than Align 400L motor. After flying for 5minutes, the battery is barely warm. That could be due to it has much higher turns (12turns compares to 3 turns on Mega)

Second test was done using Align stock wooden blades (315mm.. old type). With this motor, its punch up is much better and it does not bog down very obvious like ABS blades. When I use Align 400L motor, i do not even dare to do some simple stunts and doing flips. With this motor and wooden blades, I can do a flips without sweat.
Right now, I set (Period):
Advantages
--------------
1. Same shaft diameter with Align (3.17 or 3.2mm) so can use back pinion
2. Lower current drawn.
3. Cooler than Align 400L or Align 400LF
4. Can fit into TRex without any modification.
5. Higher RPM than Align 400LF 2800kv.
Disadvantages
----------------
1. Torque is loose out to Align 400L/LF (Not very far apart)
2. Weight (Only when compare to Align 400LF or lower)
Personal Preference:
Right now I happy with this motor performance. I wish I have Mega motor to compare. Notice this motor require u to set much higher and more flatter throttle curve in order to perform better.
Next coming test will be in TRex Extended boom with eCCPM using Carbon blades and Wooden 335mm blades. Will try to update this post again after doing more test on it.
