So, IMHO it was pretty uncalled for to immediately question
@Scepterr honesty and intentions.
@Scepterr -- since you've only had your Phantom 3 for a month, how will you tell if the motors are really better? Did you do any measurements of acceleration or other performance or thrust or anything before installing the new ones?
Subjective impressions are certainly something, but I would guess unless you flew your new P3 through 3 batteries every day in the first month, you probably have less than 30 hours of time on it? Was that time in P-mode or A-mode? Most of us started in P-mode, which I believe limits the performance including the speed and perhaps tilt angle (which would limit acceleration). I would think it would take hours in A-mode to really get a feel for how motors handle. At least that's my observation from flying other racing quads with no position-hold or self-leveling or GPS. You might want to try A-mode, although be careful it can be a little disorienting at first coming from P-mode. A-mode should get you a little more top speed and maybe tilt angle, although if you didn't try it with the stock motors it would hard to compare, and the flight controller might limit the performance to something less than either motor's max capabilities in both modes.
Since we have no access to tuning the P3's flight controller (as far as I know), we can't adjust the PID for the new motors. Although I guess it's possible, I would think it might be hard to design new motors that would deliver higher performance on exactly the same PID settings as the stock motors. Do the new motors get hot at all, or how is the sound--do you hear any oscillations or anything like that? I'm interested to see your battery temps and flight times before/after--have you considered uploading the flight logs (before and after) to something like Healthy Drones?
Don't get wrong, I tinker with my P3 all the time, and most of my tinkerings are not any sort of controlled experiment. It's fun to mod just for the sake of modding, so have fun with it.
But many of us would love to see if replacement motors like these offer improvements, so it would be very cool if you could gather any sort of objective data.
