Turnigy D3542/5 1250KV Brushless Outrunner Motor

 Gary 2988 points

Yes,will be good,a 10x5 will be the most efficient,it will give you around 370w and draw around 38amps which should give about 9mins of mixed flying,for max power you can go up to an 11x5.5 which will give nearer 530w,current draw of 52amps and mixed flying of 6.5mins.

thanks gary, had planned on using 10x5 so good to know that im on the right track

I taked Zlin 1200mm balsa with NTM3542-1250 almost same motor and planing use it with 12*6 2 blades and mabye 2x3000mah 40c bat for 3d and hovering.. cos this is the Sport plane not soft and hi need more power and trust, I think..???

60amp esc is ok! I use with 40a and that is little too weak!

 sanjayrai55 13 points

3.5 mm standard. Very easy to use, just fit straight in!

 Michael 29 points

With 11x7 Prop the motor takes 56A and temperature is good.

 Michael 29 points

I measured 56A with 3S LiPo and 11x7 Prop. My Easy -Glider gos vertical with this motor.

 sanjayrai55 13 points

A Turnigy Plush 60 is ideal

Yep, comes with everything

No, this motor is best suited to 3-4S. Its limit is 4S. What model are you looking at running this on as you can get plenty of power with this motor on a 4S setup and 60A esc.

 rc speed 277 points

YES you can but it is not garanted. If you gonna try on 5S you need prop near 8*6 and bigger esc. Try but if the motor get fast hot stop it!!!!!!!!

 Michael 29 points

I tried 4S with a 11x7 Propeller. The motor took 1100 W and became very hot in seconds. Don´*t try, you will kill him.

It depends on what you are doing with the motor. Is it for 3 or 4 cell. I used a 70amp Dlux on 2650mah nanotech 4 cell with a 8 x 8 sport prop for a pilon racer. It pulled max 58amp. If you are going to use it on 3 cell, go for a larger prop and a 60amp plush or similar would suffice.

Use this app to see the current draw on any motor with various prop sizes then to be safe choose an ESC with 50pcnt more capacity

This motor would suit a plane 1KG up to 1.5KG to give vertical performance (over 1 to 1 power ratio)

 sanjayrai55 13 points

You can use a model up to 1.5 Kg. Use a 3300 mah Lipo pack, and a 60 A ESC.

Use this application for propeller selection

it would not be possible to reverse the shaft on this motor as it does not have a grove for the retaining cir-clip. this motor is designed as an out-runner and should only be mounted via its 4 mountain holes in the rear of the motor

 spilVentinjsh 16 points

You can reverse shaft, but you need to use collar, or just get NTM Prop Drive 3548 Series Replacement Shaft.

after loosening the grub screws,knock it slowly with medium plier or mini hammer or with any kind of wood. I already try it before and don't forget to remove pin clip to open motor case.

 Andrius 2 points

removed clip, taken out rotor. Removed grub screws and tried to knock the shaft in but it just won't move. Used medium hammer and reasonable amount of force. I fear if I knock it any harder magnets will fall out or casing would bend or break. Something is not right. If anyone had better luck please let us know. Thanks

 Silentius 19 points

yes with 4s and apc8x8 , draws 40 mps in the air

 danikronos 660 points

this engine is quite heavy for glider has a much lighter engine, no more 100 g

 SigiK 195 points

I use this on the glider: Turnigy D2836/8 1100KV Brushless Outrunner Motor, with a 10 x 6 prop. and 1.6Ah or 2.2Ah 3s battery.

 Alexander 628 points

These motors weight 130g each. I think that is much too heavy. I would recommend smaller motors like
D2208-17-1100kv or equal size.

 tigerbomb8 17 points

thanks for the help :)

 Alexander 628 points

It will not damage the motor.

 joelvaughan 2 points

it will not damage the motor and a higher amp esc is better as it will not be on the limit of its max amp out all the time meaning it will run cooler and more efficient.

 Tom 3 points

Use this simple Application to check which props work with various motors, or to see current draw on a particular prop size. Over 1000 motors in the database and yuou can enter yuour own parameters too.

Yep it would be great, I have one on my Teksumo!

 Alexander 628 points

It depends on the diameter of the propeller and the number of Lipocells you want to use.
If you want to use a big prop, the motor needs to have a lower kv rating. That is because of the max. RPM of the prop tips. The more cells you use, the RPM will raise too.
What is the weight of the plane and wingspan ?

 zanek 95 points

It is, though you would have to have a pretty big glider to need this big of a motor

 Alexander 628 points

Hi, for the X-Motor mount you need countersunk screws M3x4mm. The lengh depends a little on the way you built the mount. The ends of the screws should have no contact to wires or other rotating parts inside the motor.

 mario heleno de castro 7 points

ALL propeller has to be balanced, AI does not vibrate

 Marlon 3 points

No, a good motor will not vibrate. You have either one or all of these issues:
**prop not balanced.
**motor not mounted solidly to mount or fuselage.
**an object touching the motor while it is turning.
**prop adapter (collet or set screw type) is damaged or mounted off-center.

Don't fly the plane if something is vibrating, or something will vibrate loose* fractures will occur in the foam, or screws will fall off.

 munsaf 291 points

yes but u can use it with more then 50A because the Max current is 46A! if u can use with 40A may be your ESC will burn!

 mario heleno de castro 7 points

can use it with more then 50A
