Hey, You can use this Motor with an 8x4 APC prop as a pusher. Then you get about 540-630g thrust. I use this configuration in an f-22 foamie Hope i helped you *)

 sirgarfield 85 points

ok , the motor may be on back wards but you must ensure the prop is still in a pulling position, imagine it is on the front of the plane and mount it accordingly to the motor

 FabianSFZ 36 points

Aboute 510 gramms, but of cause of an x5 prop a realy fast airflow. I Hope i helped you

8.5 amps in 3S...

 FabianSFZ 36 points

About 500g on 3s with 9,5 A

Yes, it works fine with this prop!

I measured on my gram scale (also from HK) and it read as 27.6 grams including the wires. You are correct about low kv is better. I usually go for around 1.5:1 to 2:1 thrust ratio with my 3D planes. It really depends on what you want, for floatiness, go for a slightly smaller motor, for fast or hardcore 3D, I would say a slightly larger motor would be more suitable. Also, one more thing, I would personally go for the Hextronik 24g 1300kv motor on a 8x4 or 8x4.3 prop for 3D flying. I hope this helps.

9x4.7 slow flyer prop works great on this motor. 10A ESC.

 MAX 17 points

Yes, it's great in combat wings! Use prop 7x5 APC style for fast, and 9x6 GWS style for slow...

 Karl 1 points

Use this motor all the time with 9x4.7 slow flyer props on my 3D foamies..... works like a charm 10A HK ESC.

The max amp draw is around 10 amps. You should be getting 10 amps with a 8x4 prop. If you are getting that much with a smaller prop, something is wrong. Make sure you balance the prop AND the motor, and I would suggest using the prop saver that comes with the motor. It reduces vibrations greatly and saves a lot of broken props.

checked with turnigy mega 7 (7 in 1) with prop saver and colet i get 10.45A at max

 Arxangel 890 points

Like I said, balance the prop AND the motor, and use the prop saver that comes with the motor. You should get a tighter band for it though, because the one that comes in the kit is a bit loose. If that doesn't help reduce amp draw, then it is possible that you got a slightly different motor that is not wound properly and draws more amps.

M 2,5 plywood to use these Self Tapping Screws w/shoulder M2x8 www.link

 Arxangel 890 points

The mounting holes are for 2mm screws or bolts. They are not threaded.

8 x 4 on 3 cell battery works great for me!

 bigtiii 65 points

That prop is just right for a 3S 500. 9x4.7 with a 2S. Perfect IMO.

 Dude rc 366 points

8*6 on 2s works great

 bigtiii 65 points

I fly a 250g 3D plane with one of these so 4 of these motors should fly it easily.

 sonnydc 117 points

Use the 1500kv with an 8x3.8 prop. it gives good thrust for 3d flying.
You will need a bigger prop for the 1300kv and the 1700kv with a 7035 prop is good for sport flying.
for paint, use waterbased acrylic.

 sonnydc 117 points

Thanks!

Not much you can do to get more power from your ESC,just make sure the travel adjust on your throttle channel is set at 100% in the full throttle position.

 crashtestheli 26 points

Calibrate your esc to set the throttle end points. Make sure you are using the proper timing on the esc for this motor.

My Mini Cub motor did not work. I have ordered the HexTronik 20gram 2300kv. It has almost the same dimensions as the 1700kv that comes with the plane. It should arrive in a couple of days. I'll let you know how it turns out...

 CAN 400 points

for 3000kv if u use 3s lipo u must not use above 5 inc prop for safety of the motor so ı* think 3000 can help to you, if u dont want 3000 kv , ı* prefer 1500 vercion

3.5mm is fine, I have used over 20 of these motors and never had a problem with the 3.5mm bullets.

i prefer direct welding to the esc, it's a question of choice, any conector will work.

 Juerwotow 33 points

I solder it directly with a "mistery becs" they can change the rotation direcction, so, there is no problem to solder it in the wrong way. By this, you can save more then 7 grams.

I agree with you these engines are very good for Aeros electric weighing 250 to 400 grams have two more years never gave a problem and Aeros electrical power to alleviate the more you improve weight

 Paul 3 points

Any 10a ESC will work. I use the HobbyKing 8-10A ESC on mine.

 pesadilla 12 points

I'm using the Hobbyking 12A blueseries esc, works great!!

 boingk 257 points

Im flying my hobbyking j3 on the 3000kv version of this motor. It weighs approximately 480g. I imagine this 1500kv motor would be a better choice for planes over 300g. Hope that helps.

 vernm 8 points

I think FC 28-12 would work great and the price is right!! www.link

 Juerwotow 33 points

I suggest you www.link it and you wont regret.

 Richard L. 9 points

I am flying a foamie that weighs 7 1/2 ounces including battery.Motorworks well. I have 5 or 6 of these motors on foamies. Very good choice. I use 8X3.8 props: www.link

 vernm 8 points

I think a flying weight of 200gr - 275gr is a nice weight.

 __seth 29 points

if its a 3D plane, then a maximum of 10 oz on three cell, if a slowflyer/sport, around 15 oz max on 3s.

 Clink 5 points

I use the 24 gram 1500kv on 3d planes that come out around 7oz auw with 2s 360mah rhinos, but they can easily haul around a heavier battery for windy weather or sport flying

 Juerwotow 33 points

They say: Stock updated frequently. No ETA,goods will arrive every 15-20 days but i am also Waiting..... so patience bro!

 Carlos14 2 points

Well mine just arrived but I don't know which black wire to connect to the red, yellow or black on the ESC. Can anyone tell me please?

 Alex 2 points

No prob, just connect any wire to any other wire and check whether the motor spins in the correct direction. If not, swap any two wires.

 Juerwotow 33 points

May be soon, but I think late april...patience

 Juerwotow 33 points

same problem bro, but I have asked www.link dont regret, best quality and almost the same price... If you cant wait, prove them.... Hope it helps-
