The shaft broke right away after running the motor for the first time. This is for an EasyStar setup. It looks like a bad casting. I also would like to know where to get a replacement shaft? Thanks

I bought this motor, and my question is will this ESC work fine with this motor? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6468

segev (50%)
No, you need Brushless ESC and the one that you liked to is Brushed one.

Hi everyone,
Just received this motor along with the Turnigy Plush 30A speed control. I will be installing them in an EasyStar. This might be a dumb question, but I am new to all of this so please bear with me: The 3 wires on the speed control are all red (labeled a,b,c) yet the leads on the motor are yellow, red and black. Does it matter which wires coming from the speed control get connected to on the motor? I didn't see mention of this in the instructions. Thanks in advance!

Christian (84%)
Yes and no. You can connect the wires anyway you want. If the motor turns the wrong way, simply switch TWO of them.

Dickfarrow (67%)
Sorry, I meant to say yes to give you a credit but I accidentally hit no. Please respond to this and I will hit yes so you get credit. My apologies. Thanks!

Christian (84%)
No problem. Thanks =)

Tomasz (60%)
Hi ! Doesn't matter :) If you want to change direction you have to change placement 2 of 3 wires. Best Regards Tomek

vaughan (52%)
No difference at all. If you want to reverse the direction of rotation, simply swap any two of the wires and presto!

vaughan (52%)
Doesn't matter at all. If you get the direction of rotation wrong just switch a couple of the wires around and it will be reversed. The only thing you have to worry about is making sure all three wires are connected...if you only connect two, you will proably burn out your esc like I did.

Tieto (57%)
No it doesn't matter, just connect them all. If the motor is spinning the wrong way, just switch any two wires.

DukeZillo (64%)
you can connect 3 wires in any order, if you need the prop goes in other way, just change the order of 2 wires

DukeZillo (64%)
you can connect them in any order, if you need to turn in other way just change the position of 2 wires.

Firepower (24%)
NO it does not matter which wires you connect but if it is wrong it will not work. Just keep swapping them until it works. This seems a stupid reply but that is how you connect them up when not colour coded.

jshall (72%)
I also installed this motor on my EasyStar with a Turnigy ESC. I think you'll be quite pleased. You can connect the three wires in any configuration and then test the direction of motor rotation. If you then need to reverse the direction simply swap any two wires.

Do someone knows how to replace the Shaft part in this motor? Need to remove the 2 caps of push hard to let it go out?
Any suggestion for a 3.2 replacement in HK catalogue?

Thanks

is this HXT 2835 (380S) 2200kv Brushless Inrunner equivalent to Typhoon-EDF 4W ?

hmalave (82%)
Can someone tell what the difference with this motor and the HXTBS-2835C-2200 ?Thanks

Is this motor less reving than the 2700kv version? im using it on my greatplanes slinger and it puts out 19000 rpm acording to my rev counter and a lot of thrust but i do wonder if the 2700 would make it even faster?

Lucas (67%)
this engine seems to me to be the limit of what u would put in a plane lie this. it puts it on the egde of trying to be a hotliner, but the body is just not built for it. the engine is stressing the wings and spar at WOT, so more power is going to far....would need diff airframe i think.

Walter (50%)
All things being equal you should expect the following with the same prop.

Faster top end speed. Shorter run time. Higher current draw on your lipo. Higher heat build up on the pack. About 5000 higher rpm with the same prop. (RPM based on a 3 cell lipo pack)

beetledrift (25%)
2700kv gives it more topspeed yes, (if you run the same setup) but you need to look at your prop also, 6x4 should be good.

Lindsay 22 (84%)
What do kv's measure? and is higher or lower more powerful. What is best to push a 1m long fibreglass cruiser along, quite fast.

ay6810 (57%)
KVs measure power of motor. This one is too small if you are using on 1m fibreglass cruiser. Get a 3300KV to be safe.

Lucas (67%)
v's are revolutions per volt.

Lucas (67%)
kvs are revolutions per minute per volt...but you have to factor in prop resistance to get a true rpm number.. my tach reads just over 19000 with a 6x4.

beetledrift (25%)
depends on what voltages you are running.

but most of the time, more KV gives you higher top speed, low KV gives torque. but you need to find the balance, because the propellor also has it maximum prop speed.

hi ay6810, how did the wiring go into your easystar? Did you need to carve foam out? Any solderig required?
Thanks

ay6810 (57%)
I had to solder the banana plugs on the motor and carve out a little foam from the inside of Easystar for the ESC wiring before closing the two halves with CA glue. No big problems as its quite straight forward. Have you flown yet?

michaelhay (60%)
Not yet.
My EZ* came RTF with stock motor and ESC so I am a little hesitant to open it up to change the motor and ESC... But I will get to it

jshall (72%)
I ran mine out the vent in front of the motor and mounted the ESC on the top of the plane. I then ran the wires down into the canopy area by trimming the back of the hatch cover. It's not pretty, but it works well.

segev (50%)
I did it in the same way as ishall, so I can replace parts if I will have any problem.

mikec@aloha.net (0%)
yes you have to cut foam but not much. i cut mine and found that there are other ways to cut a path to the canopy. only challenge i have is gluing the easy star together. i think i'll use two sided tape to glue the fuse and then reinforce with strapping/packing tape.

michaelhay (60%)
Great Thanks. I am getting it then :)

michaelhay (60%)
this motor seems a little bigger than the stock Easystar... What's a good way to make it fit? Thanks

ay6810 (57%)
No its not. I have it fitted now. t fits the round hole like a glove!

Lucas (67%)
cut the housing in half. pop out old engine, high temp silicone the new one in. i enlarged the inlet hole for better cooling. then i wrapped carbon kevlar weave around the housing and CAed it in place, for strength and rigidity. plus it looks cool.

Bobski (67%)
is it a good upgrade to a stryker f27c.

Makseem (55%)
I also want to know if this will be good for a stryker f27c. What prop recommended?

Bobski (67%)
Got this motor 2 weeks ago. stock motor still works a lot better tahn this one. I think it's over rated.

waineman (78%)
what motor would you reccommend for the stryker 27c for speed w/a 6x4 pusher prop

Makseem (55%)
I bought the 2835 2700kv for my stryker. It is a perfect motor for it. Im running a 6x5e. Plenty of power and speed.

zbig77 (27%)
Which prop would be recommended when running this motor with 2S Lipo ?

ay6810 (57%)
as a pusher or regular?

7/14/2009
néoto (73%)
Propsaver 3.17 mm is good for this motor ?

Or 3.00 mm ?

Thanks !

ay6810 (57%)
3.172mm or 3.2mm version will work.

ay6810 (57%)
Hi , can I use a 6x4 prop with this motor on EasyStar? will it get too hot with normal usage (30-50% full throttle)?

John (96%)
I use a 6x4 prop with this motor in an EasyStar and the motor has only barely gotten warm. I fly at about 30-50% throttle but have also had WOT for a good stretch of time to get to high altitutes.
I'm getting 237 watts of power at WOT using a 6x4prop and drawing 20amps. Its an overkill for the easystar but I like my planes that way. :D

ay6810 (57%)
Thanks for the reassuring reply! I'm not good at calculating amp draw so it answers my questions about using 30A ESC with this motor. Overkill but I too like it this way as I don't want a meltdown.

John (50%)
Amp draw is best measured, not calculated. If you don't have a meter, get one. It's cheaper than losing an airplane because you calculated wrong.

beetledrift (25%)
hi,
It would be a good setup, 6x4 APC prop should be fine, and not get really hot.

Gautier (50%)
ok thanks !

Ivan (50%)
If you need this to fit mini-v, simply run motor and grind by hand with flat file. Stop motor, check size, grind again if neccessary. Tip this will only work one way, if you grind too small, then grind till a piece of brass fits over shaft then plug it into the 2.3mm hole or whatever size it is.

Gautier (50%)
i don t see anything for this 3,2MM prop adaptater...where can we find some
3,175 is not 3,2mmm...
thanks

MarkD (80%)
It will work. The difference is ony a matter of rounding for conveience. They are 1/8" which is precisely 3.175 mm.

Bobski (67%)
Sock adaptor works fine for me.

rashaune73 (50%)
can this motor replace my stock 380 motor in a proboat mini-v exact?and if not which one of your brushless motors can?thank you.

MarkD (80%)
No, it will not work* the shaft on a brushed 380 is 2,3m, this one is 3.2mm* the stock motor is brushed, this one is brushless* the stock motor control is built in to the reciver so it can't be upgraded. You would need to replace everything but the hull. - sorry

Eelco (50%)
I did not had installation inscructions? can some body help me

The collet types are the better chioce for this size motor.
