***NOTE***
The Brushed motors on the V262 do not last very long. There are some break in techniques you can do and some heatsinks you can add to the motors to get longer life, as well as limiting flights to 7 to 8 mins and letting the motors cool down before flying again. Ultimately though, the motors have a very short life. Reports of anywhere from 10 flights to 80 flights before motor failure. I personally have reduced power after 10 flights. Can't lift GoPro anymore. I did push the V262 hard, with lifting GoPro and consecutive flights without rest. When I did break in my motors, I did with props on (load) instead of without attached to any gear or props. I have heard both ways to break in, but the motors are still going to fail faster than any other brushed motor. No better brushed motors that will fit have been found yet.
