I have this motor with 10A regulator, 8x4 prop and battery rhino 460 2S. Work time in my hand 2min. Why so little work time? I want ti rise to 10min. How ican do it? Rise battery capacity to 800-1000mah?
Yes,if you increase the capacity of the battery this will give longer run times,also a smaller prop will draw less amps to give longer run times but will reduce the power a bit.
these little motors are fantastic on my mini wing running 4.75x4.75 prop and 3s 11.1v, motor runs stone cold and 10amp speedo barely warm......unlimited vertical !!!!
WHY ISN'T THE MAX CURRENT POSTED ON THIS ITEM?
....
Come to think of it, why isn't max current or watts part of the title. Instead unloaded RPM is posted. That has no value to the user.
The motor specs show the voltage as 2S (7.4v) but many threads and various discussions show people using 3S. My intention is to use 3S. Has this motor changed or is 3S OK? Thx
I have used these with 3s and even 4s. With 3s I use 8x3.8, so 6x4 will be fine for sure. They get a bit warm when I use 4s at full throttle for too long... 15 seconds... But the ESC's are what defines the voltage to the motors, and are designed not to overrun them, even when using a bigger battery. I try to go 1s over what the rating is, so I have full throttle longer, before I get low voltage alarms. Just make sure the ESC's are rated for 1s more.
hello everybody!
Is this a possible replacement motor for the AXN Floater Jet?
My old motor is broken and i got this motor laying around.
due the construction of the Floater-Jet i cannot use props bigger than 5" but i got some 3S lipo laynig around =)
Thanks for your help!
scratchbuilder, this motor should handle a 5" prop with just about any pitch. To get more out of it, I would try putting a 5x3 3blade prop. Any 2 blade prop will only achieve 8oz. of thrust but a 5x3 3 blade will get you just under 12oz. of thrust. much more efficient. Hope this helps and happy flying!
M.R. Electronics is correct. The 8x4 3 blade props will get the maximum amount of thrust for this motor at 32oz. The static thrust and prop stall thrust are virtually equal meaning it is a very efficient prop. You could try a 9x5 3 blade, but it isn't as efficient and may be too much for this motor but the numbers are 58oz. static thrust and 51oz. prop stall thrust. so 51oz. it is. I've never tried a prop this size but I only use 3S batteries. It may work fine with a 2S. Happy flying and hope this helps!
Hi,
Don't trust "vanbos"!
You could use this ESC with this engine!
remember do not use to big prop to this motor
about 6x4 for 3S
about 7x3.5 2S
you could use smaller ESC for this motor (about 15A) - you reduce weight.
Best Regards!
Currently using this motor with 3s 1000 pack and 6x3, 6x4, and 7x3 props on a Herr 36" Cub park flyer, no problems. Motor barely warm after 20 minute flights, but this is flying at half-throttle. More than ample power for 650g airplane.
These are great little and cheap motors...perfect for light foamie and the 6x4 apc knockoff works perfect......BUT.... I noticed they do NOT like to be ran as a pusher...and several others have noted bearing problems ...This may be why.. the two I run now work fine as pushers...but squall like a Tomcat when you set it up as a pusher. I think they perhaps don't have the proper thrust bearing design in them.
Yes you can. But this mounts break easy after a crash. the mount off the motor comes off after a few set screws are taken out. Then it slips right on the mount. Check your mounts for burs left from the manufacturer.Then clean them up if you see any.
i use this motor with a 6-5 prop, a 12amp ESC and a Rhino 610mAh 3s 11.1v. i also sometimes use a Flightmax 1000mAH 3s 11.1v
610mAh 11.1v: draws 6.7amp, 70watts
1000mAh 11.1v: draws 7.8amp, 89watts
I have seen some 2850 kv motor with the same naming as this as others hace reported. This is a 1600 kv motor good for a8x4 or 9x4 prop on 2s while the other can only be used with a 7" or lower. Please HK take care of this, I just ordered mine to use with a pico stick and I really need it to be what it should be* a 1600 kv motor usable with a 9 inch prop on a 2s battery.
Ben-ya-min if he got the 2850kv tell him make sure it isnt getting hot. Higher Kv is less torque so turns a smaller prop.. lower kv is more torque for larger ( longer or more pitch ) Props
A year ago I ordered a couple of these... must have been the 1600 kv as it pulled the 9 inch prop fine and did not get hot... but the two I have ordered in the last 6 months scream with a 6x4 and get hot with the 9 inchers... won't even handle an 8 or a 7 inch prop...but 6 is great... so those must be 2800 kv...my guess.
Ol, miele29 o grande problema deste motor a falta de qualidade, do nosso grupo aqui no RS foram comprados uns 5 e nenhum igual ao outro. Estamos fazendo testes e se verificou que h problemas nos ms e enrolamento, s vezes com mais voltas e menos voltas. Destes estamos testanto um que foi reenrolado por ns mesmos mas ainda estamos testando. Nas medies os motores bons encontramos empuxo de 400g e 5A, muito bom, mas em contrapartida outros com mais de 12A e baixo empuxo.
Eu tenho motores deste modelo, reenrolei um e a unica forma de fazer funcionar foi aumentar o timing, ficou com mais empuxo mas em contrapartida a corrente tambem foi junto . Se no me falha a memoria reenrolei com fio 25 12 voltas , e o timing eu usei high ( ainda no testei em voo este motor) . Tenho outros 2 ainda funcionando original e consegue levar bem modelos de 400g tranquilo ....
It all depends on what kind of power you set up for (what size propeller you use) For this on 2S, a 10A is a bit too small for 7" or 8" prop, go for 12 or 15A. 10A is good for a 6" prop or smaller.
I always use a powermeter to find what the max current is for the specific propeller, then I don't need to guess. Burnt esc is usually the same a totally wrecked airplane...

26 thumbs up!
Great motor for the price. Reviews have been very helpful and before purchase and confirmed to be relatively accurate.
Motor has problems starting up due to fragile wiring. Had to fix this but at this price, can't complain!
5 stars for me but rated as 4 stars so that users know of possible defects in workmanship. I will definitely buy more!
Benchtest results:
Tested with E-flite 25 Amp ESC and 3s 620mAh lipo
APC 7x4 = 6.9A About 15 min runtime and good thrust APC 9x4.7 = 9.4A About 9 min runtime with great pull
Both setups worked great on a custom Extra 182g depron plane on both 2s and 3s lipos.

I bought it 2 weekas ago and i have no problems with it! It runs really smooth and clear. I have many crashes and the motor still vorks perfectlly! I am usinig it with 12A speed controller, 7,4V 500mAh 20C Li-poly, and 8x4.3 slowfly prop. The static thrust is about 300g and it taces only 7Amps!!! I was surprised with its quality/price ratio!

I bought 2 of these little motors along with 2 TowerPro 18A Brushless Speed Controllers for a 1/4 scale twin engine Cri Cri that has an all up weight of 24 oz. and they work great using 6" props. Very happy!!

Small gap between magnets, otherwise a really nice motor for the price. output shaft is 3mm x 11mm long 14 magnets, 22mm x 5mm 12pole stator, delta wind four 2.9mm mounting holes on a 22mm diameter circle (mounting plate is 28.5mm dia.) would fit 10mm tube mount (easily dis-assembled with hex keys) Excellent value
