Hello,
To be sure and not to be mistaken I plan to order a FR propeller but for my second project but I don’t have the engine yet. I plan to buy a FLIPSKY model FS65161my question is simple :
Shaft 10 or 12 mm, the two models with option without propeller are they tapped at the end of the shaft or just the 12 mm as I understood on their website ?
and 100 or 120 Kv for the engine ?
Waiting to read you
Thank you

12mm with M8 thread will fit the FR prop and is more versatile, 120kv seems the better choice.

Thank you, you confirm that the engine axis 12 without propeller arrives home already tapped? I can’t be sure on the site.

Caution this variant might be the one without axial load bearing, better take the upgraded one ( axial bearing + ceramic shaft seal)

Indeed I noticed that compared to the Flipsky site to which I sent a mail to know if the trees were tapped in M8…
I am waiting for the answer
Thanks for the remark @

Flipsky’s answer: the 12 mm shaft is indeed a threaded shaft.

I contacted Flipsky to find out if they have resellers in Europe, answer in less than five minutes: no resellers in Europe. So I ask them if Banggood who sells their products but especially who ships from Spain or the Czech Republic sells original products or the 65161 they sell are counterfeit … and there no answer from Flipsky …
Some of you have already ordered this Flipsky engine on Banggood ?
I would like to order in Europe for faster delivery time and to avoid customs fees.
Thanks to you

I finally got an answer which I am forwarding to you:
" yes, they 're our resellers, but we don’t do direct technical support for reseller customer. »
So in the end they do have a reseller who has warehouses in Europe but flipsky does not take care of the after-sales service of the engines coming out of its resellers…
What do you advise with your experience ?

For DOA, BG should cover. Warranty is always difficult with chinese products bought from China, as it costs a fortune to ship them back. You will probably have to fix it yourself anyways if something happens to it. I know people that changed bearings and seals, it is doable. Most people opened it and put some oil like corrosionx inside, I guess this would void warranty anyways. I took the risk and ordered on from BG directly from China last autumn, I seems to be OK, but I haven‘t put it in the water until now.

It works like this:
Factory → Flipsky → Banggood
If you have a motor issue, you will complain to Banggood. Then Banggood will complain to Flipsky and finally Flipsky to the factory. It really makes no difference whatsoever. I have bought loads of drone stuff, CNC stuff and E-skate stuff off Banggood and their service has always been great.
Sometimes they have stock in their UK or European warehouses and then stuff ships fast.

I bought a new motor from cz two weeks ago and the fsesc 200/75.
I got it in a week time.
Note that The esc is not The latest model that you get if you order from flipsky that is shown in Another thread here.
I haven’t had time to test them yet.

I ordered a 120kv but received a 100kv. Is there any advantage to the 100kv or should I return it?
