The Scorpion 4035-500Kv was just a recommendation by MRC but there are many motors that would be ideal for your MD within the 450Kv to 520Kv range. I use an Xnova 4030-470Kv in my EC-145 800 with a 4 blade head, for example. AMain Hobbies and GrandRC are 2 retailers with good selections. Personally, I would use 520Kv as an upper limit for 4-5 blade heads.

I just sold my OH-6 and AH-6 so I'm down to only one 500D Magnum PI version.

Tengu Egodrift scale collection motors are really good as well...
Our EGODRIFT "Scale Collection" of Tengu heli motors is aimed at the special requirements of your scale r/c helicopter builds. Featuring special shaft and kV options, as well as a special Scale lasering design
The 4035/460kv or the 4525/470kv would work just fine... and their bolt pattern matches up with all 4 bolts.

Thanks guys, I'm coming from the nitro world and I'm just now learning electrics. BTW, I recently had an unexpected life change, and have decided to stock pile paycheck for a possible early retirement. I do want to finish this build but need to keeps costs reasonable. I need "value" components that still offer good reliability. I just don't need best of the best. With that in mind, how would this motor choice work out? https://www.scaleflying.com/Scorpion...or_p_2532.html
What Hobby Wing ESC would work with this motor? How about the Motion RC suggested servos? They seem less expensive than what others use? Looking for bang for the buck! https://www.motionrc.com/products/mk...os-mks6005-002

Well... sub $100 I like the Torq BLS0704T:
This is a Torq BLS0704T Full Size HV Brushless Rudder Servo for Helicopters. This servo has been specifically designed for the intense demand of... TRQ-BLS0704T
Then everything decent (decent in my opinion) jumps to $120-$140 (for tail servo's)... I recently picking up a whole set BK servo's... and I'm here to say that they will be my go to servo's moving forward...
The tail BK Servo BK-9005HV
The BK-9005HV servo from BKServo offers pilots one of the highest performing servos available in the tail servo market today. The BK-9005HV is built... BKSBL14
Just my two cents worth.
