Exellent motor, 150 grams with mount and prop adaptor, comes with 3.5mm bullets already fitted.

Peaks 700 amps on 4s and 13 6 apc type prop, peaking at 50 amps, sustains 560 watts and 40 amps after 15 seconds full throttle. Motor not even warm at that. Great for any 1100 to 1400 gram 3d bird.

Used with a Master Airscrew propeller 12x8 on a Multiplex FunCub. It draws around 41 amps. The motor has great power!!!

Got the motor this week and have it mounted on a very non-aerodynamic plane. Using a 11x5.5E APC prop and a 4S 4000mah pack. The planes flies very well. The motor is quiet and performs without any issues. I have not seen any overheating with the motor pulling about 500w at full throtle. From my bench tests, it appears that the motor can handle more power but I have limited it to 600w based on the size and winding wire used. I don't know if it can make the 1KW as stated and I'm not willing to trash a motor to find out. I plan on getting more of these as they seem perfect for a 4S setup and planes about 4-5 lbs. in weight.
