Not perfect but not bad
This 20" wheel was installed on the front of a long wheel recumbent and was the only 20" I could find for normal tires. It replaces a 26" 500 watt 24V rear wheel that was purchased from YescomUSA about 7 years ago. Even running this new wheel at 42V (10 cell 20AH LiPo) it lacks torque at low speeds and at 8-20 mph has less power then the old 500 watt wheel. It certainly requires heavier pedaling going up hill then the original wheel. Given power consumption over a fixed route it appears to be less efficient then the old 500 watt wheel. It is also very noisy at start up and requires considerable pedal force. The wheel's only saving grace is it is about 10#s lighter then the old wheel. Minor grinding of the axle and front forks was required in order to get it to install properly and torque arms should be used. I really like the new wheel electrical connector which makes removing the wheel and fixing flats much easier. Also, this rim is not double walled so the spokes won't be working themselves loose all the time.

Comes with proper cables for clone APM2.6 and Pixhawk PX4
Many of these 3DR Telemetry Kits do not come with the proper cables for the AMP2.6, this kit does and works well with either the APM2.6 or Pixhawk PX4. I mount one of these on each of my home built flying toys and monitor on the laptop when at the flying field. Great devices at a good price and this latest unit came with a much smaller antenna which is nice.

Work Great
I use these on my home built tri, quad and octo copters between the motors and ESCs. They work just fine.
