You sure can.i wouldnt be running it with anything less than a 30AMP esc though..no reason to set endpoints.
I have one of these on my parkjet..goes like a homesick Angel
I have 50A esc. So why does it work ok with a 5x5 prop where they say: "Max performance: Prop: APC4.1x4.5" ?
And everyone is using 4.5x4.5 or more? Doesnt make sence to me. And 4.5x4.5 isnt so fast for me :(
is the motor total ****? My shaft broke during ground testing at full throttle. Is there a comparable motor with a 3mm shaft which doesnt brake? Which replacement 3mm shaft can I use?
ok so the shaft broke off in mid flight on my second flight, which caused my plane to crash. Not happy about that. But anyone know if HK sells a replacement shaft? preferably a 3 mm ?
I just dont understand why the wires come out next to the shaft, why do I need to reverse the shaft to be able to use this motor,it doesnt make sense to me.
I'm a newbie...want to use this motor as a pusher on a foamy "jet" using 4.75X4.75 Prop. The shaft seems to be non-standard 2.3 mm and I don't know how to mount this motor with the wires coming out next to the shaft. Can sombody help me out?
HighFlyby2 undo grub screw and remove any c clips. Remove the shaft and outer can. Use a soft metal drift to drift the shaft to how you would like IT. I hope this helps
I was new to brushless out runners when I got this too. I used "HXT Alloy Composite Stick Mount 20mm" (STICKMOUNT20) and an aluminum collet prop adapter. The adapter I used was OR002-01202, but I would not recommend this one because mine came with the wrong size nut and the collet was too loose. Instead, the grub screw type might be better (GS0161M, Prop adapter w/ Alu Cone 3/16x32-2.3mm shaft (Grub Screw Type)). I can upload pictures of how the motor mounts tomorrow if you want. The mount I mentioned includes screws that fit this motor.
I would appreciate the help. I don't know a "drift" from a baseball bat but I assume it is some type of hammer. I think HK should have a YouTube on this subject but I don't know how to find it.
HighFlyby2 I am so sorry My dad and my brothers we always working on there cars. If you wanted to hang out with then, well a girl had to break a nail or two. Sorry. A drift is just a piece of round rod. Soft metal like brass. You use the drift as a punch. It is not hard. Sorry
Thanks Kelllyann, I'm a computer geek and have never opened a motor up before so the terminology has me at a disadvantage. I understand grub screw and C clips. Basically, I want to have the shaft protruding from the motor at the end away from (opposite) the wires and them mount the motor using the screw holes adjacent to the wires. Is this possible or am I missing something? I would appreciate any help you can provide.
HighFlyby2 omputer geek here too. Love to help. So the best way is to remove the outer can and shaft first. It should lift off once the c clip is removed. Then we can look at the shaft and decide weather we need to remove shaft or just push it through. Please
Kellyann, It looks like you reply got cut off. BTW,should have mentioned this before...the motor is on order so I don't have it yet. I just wanted to have a plan of action when it arrives.
So once the can and shaft is removed then decide how you wish it. Then put back the way you wish it. OH yes please remember to replace the c clip and grub screw. The c clip is all that hold the motor together. I hope this helps. If you have a very OLD motor the shaft may not be replaceable hence you cannot rearrange it.
HighFlyby2 cool you did say there must be one around. Well done. Look I love chatting but a video is worth a million words. So does it all make sense now?
HighFlyby2 OK so there is more than one way to skin a cat. But the result is the same. I would of done it a little differently but it is all good. Thanks for getting back to us. So are you going to have a go at it or have you done it? Have fun and THANKS again
I've done the shaft reversal for this motor, but there's no groove to locate the circlip in the correct position. What's the likely hood of the motor coming apart without the circlip when used in a pusher configuration
SE EU TRADUZI DIREITO A ESTA PERGUNTA, "PILOTO-SP".
ESTE MOTOR NÃO VEM COM MONTANTE.
O QUE TENHO A DIZER QUE É UM ÓTIMO MOTOR, EU USO EM ASA "ZAGUI", E ELAS FICAM MUITO RÁPIDAS, COM HÉLICES 4,5 X 4,5.
Does someone have a tutorial (video if possible?) showing how to change out the shaft on this motor to a 3mm? I've never done that and want to know what parts are needed, what tools required, and step by step instructions. Any help is appreciated!
Replacing shafts on all outrunner motors is about the same. You have to remove the set screw on the bell (the part that spins). Remove C pin around the shaft, usually with a screw driver, and then everything should come apart with a little persuasion. Might need some blocks of wood, a drill, and something to press the shaft out.
The prop ,saver is part of the motor, so you can't remove. This is still an excelent motor. I you had a prop saver you will load the motor and the plane.
uhh oh! this is the 'new' black and red version of the old blue and reds. Which has been a notable deterioration in quality on other motors when the maker changed.
Anyone been able to check the differences?
allow me to answer my own question - it's straight forward to remove the shaft, then find a friend with a lathe to make a new shaft. this shaft is not readily reversible as is. I'm sure there is something i don't quiet understand about how one uses this particular motor as is in a pusher application. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Shaft is definitely 2.3mm diameter so all stock pinions for the HBK2 will slot staight on. I'm fitting this onto my King 2 with an 11 teeth pinion. Plenty to choose from on fleabay.
6x5 prop seems way to big for this motor. On 3S, the edges of the prop would be spinning at 688mph (3400*11*60*3.141*6/12/5120) if the motor was spinning at full speed. Even on 2S that seems big. Try at your own risk.

Great motor for the money,guy i fly with are getting some. I got 2, lost one in a crash, the second is pushing a 4.75x4.75 on zipppy -h 3 cell 2100. 40 amp range, microjet is superduper fast. the only thing i do not like, is the shaft 3mm cut down to 2.3. I replced the shaft with a 3mm shaft from another motor, making it perfect.

Good motor, I am using it in skyfun jet. The only bad issue is the motor shaft which in my case broke during ground testing. I replaced it with another bought from HC and everything is fine now. Using 3S 1550 Zippy and 4,1x4,1 draws 20Amps, motor comes down cool. I guess it can handle a lot more.

Whooohaaa horsie !!! We put this motor in our Skyfun Jet with the stock propeller. One word of caution - the 6x4 stock propeller does not fit the included propeller adaptor perfectly and at 40000 RPM that is indiscreet if not teeth shattering. I was thinking 350W, 3S .. that's 30A, I'll get away with a 30A Plush. Full throttle however draws about 65A or 760W, so all my equipment gets hot and very impressed by the noise level. This is fun.
