I ran Suppos for a while. The main problem that I found was that they are very inconsistant. When I checked them out on my test rig. Some had bad vibration problems and the power consumption was not then same from one motor to the next for a given lift value on the same test prop. Out of ten motors I found three good ones.
Kloner, your Suppo motors

I never had one that didn't run smooth new. never crashed cause one acted up, but i never ran one that broke a prop. if the tip touched something, it got a new motor and that 2814 swap was less than $20. Great for FPV but i wouldn't use them profesionaly. I just recently threw away 17 of em i went through in the last year. They all flew, woulda been fine on a plane, but jello free haulin butt fpv took perfectly smooth motors.
Now that i've been around a bit, the difference in how a bearing wears in a real motor and how it holds the slop out is the main difference i see in higher end motors. the suppo doesn't have a bolt on adapter = bad and the motors don't have snap rings at the bottom so you gotta deal with one of them big ol collars with set screws right were it mounts.
love the way they sound in this clip,,,,,,, all you hear is a slight buzz from 4 motors and a whole lotta wind

I've tried everything readymaderc sells and landed on lawmate 2.4 1000mw video transmitters with securitycam2000 seawolf pixem cameras and i used ImmersionRC EzUHF that knocks my rc signal down to 433 and opens up that 2.4 for video. the newest firmware has made all immersion receivers, ever there little 4ch version into a 12 channel ppm sum. so now theres no reason to look any further. it also has a mapping function that lets you change any channel into any channel that lets spektrum/jr radios work with naza/wookong or other flight controllers that are locked on ch3 throttle.
dis is in feet, right bar is elevation
got the same exact system in 6 rigs here and they all just worked out of the box as advertised. Sanders is always around to hassle when his immersion stuff don't work and he takes care of his mess when it is his fault..... dragonlink, not so much. never tried rangelink stuff

i use the eagle tree like the zii video above on my rigs.... Barts xy8 has it, works bitchen. i've never liked that ezosd, dunno why, it's just not very configurable. the ET you can have 8 different pages of on screen info... alarms can pull up other data like low voltage, mah, and thing on the screen can have an alarm.
I'm still not totaly clear but i heard ET is making an eagle tree pro osd that is gonna either fly multi rotors soon or it'll link to another module that is a MR flight controller by them but all return to home, way points, etc is coming this spring.
here is an early live feed from xy8, now flying it in manual it runs 52mph at a sustained 130 amp draw
my capture dvr went away a month or two ago, i just picked up a replacement so i'll get some more of them soon.

Ughh...this freakin lawmate Rx will not turn on. LED light stays off when I try and power it up with a 3.5mm jack and 3s lipo, tried to get video through it and nothing.
Unreal. Guy said it worked before he sent it to me.
Center of what? The jack?
No idea I had two wires one was already soldered to the deans, the other I wired the black to positive and white to negative on another deans
didn't realize I could wire this wrong ?

that needs to be checked if for no other reason than to know.... if you have a volt meter it has a continuity test where you hold the things togetehr and it beeps, is the oly way i know to check it. That'd definately smoke it......
if the red light won't come on, it aint gonna work. might make sure your battery is fully charged.

just checked with a voltmeter. The center off the jack is positive. I'm getting 11.73v with the red probe touching the center inside and the black touching the outer portion
