1)theirs alot of people out their that know alot more than i do willing to share freely their info.because of them it has made my experience in rc a happy one.so my answers are not credit based(like some,knowledge in rc equals knowing sh#t answers when you see them)i answer truthfully and if i cant answer or if the answer is big than i will direct you to info.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

i dont answer things i know nothing about ,at the end of the day you pay for it on my recomendations(if taken)its about making your rc experience a happy 1 too.if you are a newbie knowledge is key (research here and online ,theirs alot of rc forums giving informatiom freely)ie choosing a correct power setup or a setup that is not good for lipo/esc/servos/motor/props ,for power setups these are all connected.this is just 1 example of what a newbie should learn ,in the long run it will save you time and money.2)click on my name ,it is info im willing to share(not much)good luck happy flying.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

to find out ,add something to your cart.fellow the promps as though your buying it until it gives you the shipping services and prices.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

just to add get online and search customs(import,export)for your country namely what is considered a gift before you have to pay taxes etc on it and what you can import into your country without your package being held in customs for some reason.it saves time and money.

1)i dont have a watt meter ,but went with recommended prop/lipos static tests done and dont have any probs to date with motor.bh7 in reveiws for this motor gave similar static tests results to what i use and would go with his results you will find your amswer their.2)perth western australia.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

its 3mm, thanks for cred but just happy to help if i can.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

if its thrust,go to hk forum,click on beginners area.click on' How to choose an electric power system' ,he talks all about thrust and more .goodluck

 DAJARAJA 305 points

hey Oliver, i dont have a watt meter,but have use recommended static test data from 2 different people that posted reveiws with similar results.one has posted in reveiws for this motor bh77.on a 3s i have had no problems with selected prop 4.5x4.5 .

 DAJARAJA 305 points

hey Alex,its all about trying things that work.i do 2 things when buying motors,buy extra grub screws.if removing too many times the hexs gets rounded.ive since found out that you can use just normal screw as long it fits the thread(3mm dia)2)place a dab of semi-hard locktight(wifes nail polish)on screw before tightening(on end of screw as will).make sure its semi-hard and not hard so if you have to undo it it wont be rock solid.vibration can undo screws good luck.

Thanks for the reply Dajaraja. I have since put CA glue into where the motor shaft connects with the base / mounting plate. That problem was solved. THEN the bell starts wobbling / grinding and heating up quite hot. Dont think its a bent shaft, as when I pull the bell away from the base, it clicks, and momentarily spins well and freely, until it clicks back, then wobbles and spins with a great deal of resistance. Any thoughts?

 DAJARAJA 305 points

theirs a number of things,did this happen before you glued,check for frictions between shaft/bell/base.the motorshaft sticks out (3mm)from base (did you drill hole in wall mount for this )do you ballance props.bearings. ask question on hk forum or i can pm(on this site) you on (troubleshooting)i would be doing either way tomuch to explain here ill see you then.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

update ,after a crash while pulling another motor apart the motor was doing similar thing to your motor .the grinding was due to the bell hitting the stator i moved everything up (tightened everything togeather)enough so that it could turn but not stress bearings .i have pulled this motor apart (spare)and was wondering if you havent moved the bell off the shaft ,have you put everthing back togeather namely the little copper spacers at the end of shaft when you put clip back on.sorry alex for my first reply but theirs alot of things that can effect a motor.

 Gary 3001 points

This motor is only rated for a 2s (7.4v) pack,you have burnt it out by putting it on 3s (11.1v).

 DAJARAJA 305 points

hey dylan.g when i brought some of these motors a couple of years ago(epo hk parkjet) i dont remember them being for 2s only. anyway i dont have a watt meter to test prop/amps etc but went with recomendation from ron rc (prop/amps)i have had no problems running this motor on 3s(4.5x4.5/22amps)2s(5x5/16amps).also look in reveiws for this motor and BH77 gives very similar prop/amps to ron rc.sorry to read about your motor but yes i think you overproped it with your current setup. (24amps)

 Chris flory 6 points

" This motor is only rated for a 2s (7.4v) pack,you have burnt it out by putting it on 3s" If this is true, why is the motor supplied with the EPO parkjet stating a 800mah 3s lipo is required? I have flown my parket with this motor on 1000mah 2s and it's very tail heavy with a metal motor mount (and using the supplied plastic mount isn't an option)...A 800mah 3s balances the model perfectly and gives it decent performance. So if this motor isn't rated for 3s it's not fit for purpose and should not be supplied with the parkjet. However, I have had no problems with mine so far : )

 BUDDY PA 2 points

I am running a 3s on this motor and works great. I am running a Zippy Compact 3 cell 500 mah 35c with the orange rx DSM2 for two mouns now and no problems

 DAJARAJA 305 points

hey yossi look up dons rc reveiw( hk parkjet) for 3s setup he gives info on amps/props etc.i have this setup for my parkjet(10003s, hk30amp,4.5prop)all up weight 300g hk fellowed his recomendations for the pnf hk parkjet.happy flying

 Arxangel 909 points

Not sure about a table, but I am using this motor with a 6x4 and 6x5 props on a scratch built mini Predator on 2s li-po and I get 400 grams of thrust. On the thrust stand the motor drew 18amps on WOT with the 6x5 prop and made 450 grams of thrust.

 FlyAZero 7 points

I just also bought this motor for use on a Wing Wing Z-84. I have the standard motor mount but the screws that secured the original motor dont seems to screw into this motor. They seem the right size but the holes dont seem to have thread. Do you just work it into the hole make the thread as you go along, or do I need some different screw\nut combination?

 boingk 257 points

Try a 4.1x4.1 or 5x3 prop and you will see an improvement in run times with a small loss of speed and similar thrust.

 Arxangel 909 points

If you are referring to the motor mount, the outer diameter is 13mm, the inner (where the motor goes) is 8mm.

 mathew72 42 points

I talk to the propeller shaft is is what you need to buy a motor support thank you

 Arxangel 909 points

You don't need separate motor mount. This motor comes with a motor mount, propeller saver and rubber band. You would want to get some other tighter rubber bands, because the one that comes with this motor is a bit loose.

 mathew72 42 points

ok goods

 mathew72 42 points

to the rubber must be how diameter

 Arxangel 909 points

I believe item number 18-00301x10 (search it on the site) will do just fine. However, it is on Backorder. I am waiting for it to come back in stock as well.

 Arxangel 909 points

I usually use 3 or 4mm plywood, drill 1.5mm holes and use M2 screws to tighten the motor mount to the plywood.

 PCH56 67 points

No, I did'nt want to put fire in my workshop... 4s is far too much for this motor... 7V max!

 Habner 18 points

I use 3s and a 5/5 and it will haul freight!!

 rcozstyle 315 points

In the reviews it has been reported that this motor with 4.1x4.1 pulls about 22amps on 3s, 4s will push it too far.

 rcozstyle 315 points

You can use the tower pro alloy stick mount for 24 motors, it mounts in nicely.

 RonRC 2007 points

This motor should drive a 6x3 prop on 3S battery nicely with no issues and have a prop stall thrust of 58oz. With a 4.1x4.1 on a 4S Neither the static thrust or prop stall thrust are this high (40oz. and 29oz.). So, I would imagine it would be able to handle it with no problems. Still, as I do on anything that is not rated for what I use it for, I bench test it in my garage to make sure I don't have any surprises. Hope this helps and happy flying!

 TheThomass 125 points

I use it on a parkjet for almost a year now. 2s 1000mah, 4.75x4.75 prop 30A esc, no prblems. 3s 1550mah lipo, 4.75x4.75, 30A esc => ROCKET and no problems at all

 aJS32 281 points

Well, only as a airpusher I guess. You know, ones which have motor not in the water but in the air mounted on the back of boat with small airprop. Actually I think it will work fine *) Regards

 renceww3 25 points

if you keep it dry it will work with a speed prop.(a relative small one)

 Dude rc 366 points

my battery is a 2S battery. will i able to use a 3s battery with this prop

 Dude rc 366 points

i actually wanna use it on a 27" f 22 will this little baby able to push her out in to the air?

 aJS32 281 points

3S with 6x4 prop will be on the ABSOLUTE limit for this motor. A lot of cooling air is required. I would sugges you to stay with 5x5. Regards

 sue 1 points

Hi you can use a that prop with 3s

 Tim Fisher 14 points

I have managed to burn out 3 of these motors now when running on 3S lipo's and props bigger than 4.1x4.1. On 2S I have used 6x4, 5.5x4 and 5x5 with the 5x5 giving the best overall performance. I do have a home made Coreflute plane 34" width x 30" length (triangle similar to mugi evo ****mugi.*****) Using this motor, 3S lipo 1800mAH, 40A Esc and 5.5x4 prop master airscrew. There is not nearly enough thrust to hold above about 60 degree climb (stalls and drops). Plenty of speed for level flying al

 Dude rc 366 points

yeah Tim is right i manage to burn this motor even on 2s with 8*3.8 by using it on a rcpowers lil ripper

 louisweb 46 points

hi Tim/Dude, any idea will it burn out if using 4.75x4.75 APC props? with 3S batt, flying half throttle on a Wing Wing Z-84. Thanks..

 aJS32 281 points

I am running them with 18Amps plush, 6x3 doublebladed prop and 3S. Doing good lifting 900g (gopro camera, video Tx and osd are onboard) at half throttle. ESCs getting around 45-50 celsius when flying indor. Amps consumption at half throttle with such config aroung 8-9 Amps per ESC/motor. Regards

 RonRC 2007 points

Sounds fantastic! I don't intend to be putting a load on this bird.. strictly for aerobatics and speed. My big Xcopter is what I use for video, but I have it setup and built for video (slow and easy) This one I want to have some serious fun with.. Ha ha!

 RonRC 2007 points

This is what I do with my current quad.

 RonRC 2007 points

aJS32, what is the distance between your motors?

 aJS32 281 points

In diagonal (opposite motors) from motor shaft to shaft is 352mm. The biggest props you can put is 8 inch. How is your building?

 RonRC 2007 points

I'm still waiting on parts for my bigger Xcopter, and my PCB frame is days away from getting here. I am in a quandary though about how I want to build my big quad... I have 10mm carbon fiber square stock, but I'm wondering if I should go with towel bars again. They are quite rigid and I'm sure will be able to lift the load I want to lift. The CF has some flex but is pretty rigid. What to do? Ha ha ha!

 CAN 400 points

there is nothing in specification about 3 s lipo but not say also only 2s lipo, there is only thrust and kv measurement of 2s lipo. I guess motor is strong so u can use with 3 s

 Mike 2 points

u can use 3s but any prop bigger than 4.75x4.75 draws over the recommended 22amps on the motor. if you go 5x5 to 6x4 u should run 2s to keep motor from getting too hot

 Habner 18 points

3s works fine with 4.5x4.5 I have run a 5x5 on a parkjet and with WOT for 5-10 seconds, the motor is slightly warm, but when in flight the airflow helps cool it. Incredible thrust for a motor this light. Thanks

 newkid215 252 points

Like to echo CAN's comments, there is no spec for 3C, actually the one listed is thrust throughput on 2C, not max ratings. Whom burns this moter must be unknowningly over rated. Ever this little motor is a power house, we have to understand that 20A x 11V is 220W, without proper air flow it's thin wires will be very hot soon and low on efficiency. On the safe side I will only drive this motor on 4.1x4.1 (up to 18A) on 3C. Be carefull on 4.5x4.5 or 4.75x4.75!

 ben somes 35 points

it pushes my 680 gram foamie jet with no problem on 3s so I dont think it would be a problem.

 Habner 18 points

It has a 22 amp limit. I believe 3s and 4.75x4.75 draws about 23, but should be enough thrust for the bixler.

 RonRC 2007 points

Kostas, I'm not sure what size prop you can get away with on your bird, but if you can possibly put a 6x3 on it, This motor should sing sweet tunes for you. It may not pull vertical, but it will push at a prop speed of 95mph and 58oz. of thrust. Hope this helps!

 sue 1 points

hi it doesnt push bixler but try it with a 6x3

 Dude rc 366 points

hi don't use this motor with bixler go for a motor like axn floter jet replacement motor.This motor may able to take your bird up in to the sky but it will not give you it's maximum performance.

 foxbatt 51 points

even on 2 cells it will burn out with that big a prop on 3 cell max prop is 5x5 and on 2 you can use 6x4 .The kv is too high.For 8x3 you should buy the 1300 kv version of the same motor.Please reward if you find my answer usefull.

 aJS32 281 points

I am running this motor on 2S 5x5 prop. I would not reccomend you try 3S since this motor is not so powerfull and will not stand the current load on 3S. Still you can try 8x3 prop on 2S battery. This prop is just very slightly bigger than 5x5 so I am sure it should be fine. 5x5, 6x4 and 7x3 are basically equivalent props.

 RonRC 2007 points

s, the tip speed would be too fast with this motor. a 6x3.5 would be optimal but are sometimes hard to find. The 6x3 are fairly common and produce great results with 58oz. thrust and a pitch speed of 95mph. If you want to run an 8x3 at max capacity, you should look at a 2400kv motor. With that you will want something that can handle at least 20A. Hope this helps!

 foxbatt 51 points

yes it can perfectly be used on 3s just make sure you dont exceed prop dia more than 5 inches .Please reward if you find my answer usefull. thanks

 johnfb 8 points

yes...i am using 3 cells for this motor...

 William W. 15 points

You can get these on hobby king too. Just go to this www.link

 Alistair 22 points

Hi William. I can't see your link. You might need to encript it with astrix and hashes instead of * and dots. I haven't been able to find them as yet on HKs

 William W. 15 points

www.link

 William W. 15 points

www.link . here it is. Hope you can see it.

 William W. 15 points

Just search 24 Gram shaft. It should be the third one down. It will say "Spare shaft for 24gram HXM2730 Motor"

 gsantos 257 points

No. This motor has not enought power for that model. You will need a motor with more kv, such 4500kv for example. You have many EDF motors in this store.

 foxbatt 51 points

This motor is small for that jet.This is good for jets weighing a little less or equal to 300 g like the hobbyking parkjet which weighs about 200g .you will need and esc with 25 amps and 5x5 prop and a 3 cell btry 800mah max .Please reward if you find my answer useful.

 anthony 3 points

thank for the info its what i needed to know what motor would work as a pusher motor for the fly cat reply back again thanks.

 johnfb 8 points

its a 4 mounts legs...

 swass rc dawg 50 points

yes 4 mount and works grate with 2cell 18 amp E.S.C and 6x4 apc prop I get 65 mph with this on elipstik 260

 William W. 15 points

4 leg mount.

 johnfb 8 points

5x5 prop size

 swass rc dawg 50 points

works grate with 2cell 18 amp E.S.C and 6x4 apc prop I get 65 mph with this on elipstik 260

 foxbatt 51 points

actually both 6x4 and 5x5 are ok depends on your application i have used both 6x4 will give good climb but 5x5 will giv more speed at lesser climb rate.If you found my answer useful please reward thanks.

 kwboom 5 points

I have had luck finding screws in my local hardware stores. Look for any size close to the hole size, the mount is aluminum and will thread really easy.

 foxbatt 51 points

dear jjfawks the small screws that come with servos are good enough for mounting this motor.Look for screws with shoulders on the hardware section .If you find my answer usefull please click on reward . thanks

 red25 117 points

yes it comes with prop saver, oring and motor mount.

 kwboom 5 points

I have ordered both this one and the 1500kv version and both came with the prop saver and the mount. Great deal for the price....

 William W. 15 points

Prop saver, mount, o ring. Yes.
