Hoyt St Pocket Rocket Motors

If there were made in the USA they would state it on their product page, instead they use the phrase, “designed and engineered in Oregon”

I have no love for this type of marketing. You can have these motors made to your specs from sunray. They also make the trampa motors. Ask for Nelson.

They aren’t made in the USA, but oversees. But are designed by a company that builds drones and stuff for the military…

So we are being charged for the fact they use a middleman. Makes sense. Love to see a cracked open one.

Nelson’s great! He’s helped me out a lot, didn’t expect to hear about him here.

For what it’s worth they’re great motors. Been running them for a while with no issues. They do run hot though I’ve been told they’re supposed to. $200 tho… :grimacing:

I say no issues cause I’m told the heat isn’t an issue… 90 degrees is the highest I’ve clocked them at, but I was told to set motor temp cutoffs start and stop at 140 and 160 respectively.

So you think they are worth $200? Is that what you paid or did you get them for free?

That’s hard to say to be honest. I don’t think they’re worth $200, but I realize their position because they’re not exactly making much selling it for $200 (I know their baseline cost).

I got them for free even though I wanted to pay for them. I’ve been running them for a few months and giving them feedback on how it runs and what settings I’m running them at

I know what those motors cost also, the actual retail is roughly $100 to $120 if you are only ordering small quantities, 50 to 100 motors. JJ seems like a great guy, I have had the pleasure of corresponding with him a few times but it is hard to overlook such a huge markup.

Ah that’s not the number they told me, but I may have been mistaken.

Yeah I love them on my board and I’ve tried a few motors, but I’m certainly no expert. I was thinking of getting some more for my upcoming builds actually but I gotta think about it some now…

That’s f%$ked up if true! I know for a fact that they source their goods from Chin

Seems they were created by an american company that manufactured electric motors for the military.

I wish that were true but sadly it is not, maybe it is half true? I know of plenty of Chinese companies that supply motors to various military contractors.

@sofu If you really want skin in the game you should have sunray or brother make a short run of motors to your spec.

The company is based in the US, these motors are actually manufactured in Japan afaik

I don’t actually wanna sell anything :sweat_smile: selling stuff and delivering is tough and I’m way too lazy for that :rofl: I helped get some Metasurf orders back to the US and even that was not my cup of tea… I’d much rather be a consumer like with the recurve I’m waiting on :yum:

Hate to break it to you but the customer who was going to have you fit out that recurve canceled his order!
