Hi. Im new to planes and small brushless motors. Can anyone suggest a similar motor like this one available in the dutch warehouse please. I want to get a bonsai EPP wing 600mm and all parts are available in the warehouse except the motor. Thank you

I know it isn't wise but for quite a while I was running this on 3s system. I used the 10/12a HK esc and a turnigy 500 3s battery. It was a screeeeeemer. Of course it fried after about 30 flights but was a ton of fun until then. Probably could've extended the life if I didn't have it on WOT all the time.

There will be no connectors on the ESC or the motor, you will have to buy them and solder them on,

Plan to use this in a 25" foamy... will post an update when I get it up and flying. What battery should I use with this to get about 3-4 mins of 3D? I am thinking 260-400mAh. Would I be right?

I Have this little motor (HK1612) on my bonsai, on a 2s pack and performance is ok. Has anyone tried it on 3s? I Don't know if it can handle it. if not can anyone suggest an upgrade motor for the bonsai?

Yes - the SK3 2118 3100KV motor is an true upgrade for the bonsai and will go super fast :)

I used this motor with 3s for a while. It was a f'ng blast!!!! BUT it will fry out because it's just to much to handle and it over heats.

Is it possible to ship this one to germany? I mean, since there is a CE mark on it. Someone tried it?

mine arrived fine in the Netherlands, so I think Germany will be fine.

Shipped fine to Norway as well. If it is CE marked aswell then there is no reason for it not being shipped ok.

sollte kein problem sein. bei motoren ohnehin nicht - und mein zollamt ist sehr streng. mit diesem ce-zeichen sollte alles klar gehen.

Ich habe den Motor bestellt und nach einer Woche wurde er ohne Probleme in Deutschland ausgeliefert. Das Pä*ckchen wurde auch vom Zoll kontrolliert und nach der Prü*fung an mich versendet.

WHAT PROP ?

Have a look at the table in the third picture. 5x3 on 2s seems best.

But where to buy decent 5x3 props? The ones HK sells in both rotations are absolute rubbish and I can't find them anywhere.

GWS-DD-5030 on 2S.

The cox nitro motors use 5x3 props, look under coxinternational.ca I bought mine off e b a y , but they only spin them to 22,000rpm, I'm using a cox competition prop 5x3x2 on my mini skywalker, with a 5000kv motor and 1000mah 3s 25c battery and I'm hoping it will stay together, not flown it yet, still assembling,

Received this motor today, all it wants to do is jitter back and forth. Going to take it apart to see if anything is wired wrong. Looks like it is time to see what kind of system Hobby King has for Defective merchandise returns.

I got it working. Turned out to be operator error. Didn't get one of the leads fully soldered to the connector. HK needs an edit function to their review system.

Nice little BL! Gives the Bonsai-Wing enough power for light aerobatics w/ a 2S 700mAh LiPo and 6x3 Prop. Flight times are about 20min w/ moderate aerobatics. Climbing at 45 degrees are no issue with this one. A bit of con: The wires like to brake easy. be aware to bend them often.

Just put it on today. Did a small test of 'Pull power' Got it to pull 144g, with a 5/3 prop far from the 170 they say. ! Did not get hot at all. :)Looks like a good build. More to come when I have been out flying.
