very powerful and well-balanced, works for more than just quadrocopters!

Apr 04, 2018

I put an x-mount on this and stuck it on a plane, of my own design: "Rocket 88," 42" span about 24 oz with a 3s 2200 battery and a 30 amp YEP ESC. I use a Graupner folding 7-3 prop. This pulls over 200 watts WOT and is very smooth. It will power this plane straight up and around at 50-60 estimated mph. It would be good for a pusher jet too, and weighs less than 2 oz.,, Maybe even less than 1.5 oz. It seriously shreds some air. Try a 6-6 or 7-4 on 3 cells, maybe a 6-3 on 4 (I haven"t tried 4 cells, just 3) . Well made.

Used in combat robot

May 11, 2017

I use these to drive the spinner in a 1LB combat robot. I suspect the max amp draw is far more than 18A on a 3S if you have something heavier than a prop blade attached. It browns out my escs & receiver on hard accelerations. It will even do that with a 120C burst 500 mAh 4S, using a 20A afro ESC.

That said, once it gets going, this thing is a monster.

i Did not try it so far. But be careful:

The specs in the Description say 18 Amps 3-4 S.

The Spec Table says 10 Amps and 2-3 S (which is what the Package says as well.) No Mount ( M3.0 are needed i guess).
Update once i instelled it.

Let me just say that hobbyking makes good products. Motors run great and the price was good. Then while doing a checkout run on my new quad it turned into a 3 bladed lawn dart. Problem? The set screws on the motor were not installed. Glue for the screws lasted long enough to get in the air untill under stress. QC dropped the ball on me.

Ordered 4 of them, two came with noisy ball bearings, reflecting on a lot of vibration in the fpv video recording
the bad : poor quality control (ball bearings).
the good : runs warm with 6x4.5 , 3s battery, powerfull

Great motor with cool design and unstable quality. Ordered 5 of them. Two came disbalanced. One was rotating with noise because plastic clip inside the motor body which holds incoming wires was not in place, dont know how to repair it. Beasts are working with Red Brick 10A ESC (flashed Wii-ESC) at 2S and 3-blade GWS6030 just fine . My quad is almost happy with them, but still vibrating a lot. Will buy more with hope that they will come without defects.

As stated on video they don't actually work with the afro12a v3. Not sure if the afro need firmware update but has de-sync problems. If you do buy this motor with the recommended afro 12a esc make sure you also order the afro esc programmer.

They got a good punch on a Laser230 frame and are decent value for the money, but need quite a bit of balancing. Still, a real nice choice for micro quads.

I got these motors. Running 3S 2200 30C battery with 5X4.5 3 blade props on the low slung 250. The motors are strong come down barely warm. I wish HK would sell them in a kit with two CW and CCW. I had been flying for a while then finally had one of my prop nuts back off resulting in a catastrophic crash broke the frame. I did put red lock tight on the nut, a guess not enough. This time I'm going to get nylock nuts and tie thread around props so they cant spin off. If you run these motors the motors that spin CW will tend to unscrew the prop nut. So M1 and M3 need to double nut lock tight or make sure the nut stays on double check every now and then.
