Acording to the specs yes, but I have been only using mine on 2cell. I bought my 3 with going 3cell in mind but I liked them on 2cell so I haven't bought any small 3cell yet.

I have mine set up with an 800mAh 20C Zippy pack with 5x43 prop. It is nice and quiet and draws about 8 amps. Hope that helps

Depends on the size of the plane and prop. I have use as small as 350mah but with a small prop the draws a low current. At 20C this battery is capable of 7amps contunuous. Just make sure that you do not draw more amps than the motor or ESC is capable, and battery is sized to provide current needs of motor/prop combo.

for an average plane, 700-1000mah, 20c, 3 cell should be fine. That's what I'm ordering with it.

Be carefull with that much battery and a 3 cell. You could easily overprop the motor and battery will cook motor. As long as you don't exceed the current specs on motor this size battery will give very long flights at the cost of weight penalty and higher wing loadings.

I usually use batteries about 1/4 the weight of the motor's thrust. The spec's say that the motor gives ~500 grams of thrust, and a 100mah battery is ~100 grams. I'm going for 10 minute flights.

I think it is built in as part of the housing. We just had to add another prop saver over the shaft.

Try using GWS DD(direct drive) props, the hex (inside the prop) fits over the stub, then use "O"ring or strong rubber band. Don't use GWS GD (gear drive) props with this, the hex and bore are smaller.

I HAVE THIS MOTOR & I PUT IN GRUB SCREWS AND CUT DOWN TO SHAFT AND REMOVED EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF GRUB SCREWS AND IT LEFT PLENTY OF ROOM FOR A COLLET PROP.ADAPTER FROM HK.

at 1400kv 120w I would recommend a 8x4.7 Slow Fly, or up to a 8x6 for faster setups. I think their recommendations of 9x5 and 8x8.3 are a little extreme but this motor could be stronger than I think.
