An excellent motor for planes up to 220 grams (8 oz) using 2 li-poly cells. Very lightweight at 19 grams including, with an integrated prop saver for APC 8x3.8 SloFly or APC 8x4 E propeller and firewall mount inbuilt. Great for small 3D planes weighing around 6 oz, or aerobatic planes up to 8 oz. Use with a 10 Amp brushlessESC and small 7.4V lithium batteries in the 400mah - 800mah range. The motor features a 3mm hardened steel shaft, dual ball bearings, integrated prop saver.
Spec. Model: A2204-14 Cells: 2-3 Kv: 1450rpm/V Maxx Eff: 74% No load Curr. .3A Max Current: 7.5A Weight: 19g Int. Resistance: 550mh Dimensions: 27.6 x 11.5mm Recomended Model: (3D 220g or less) Recomended prop: 8040/2S or 7035/3S
This is similar to the AXi 2203/52 or 2204/54 Use a 10A ESC with this motor.
Hey Folks,
could anyone please count and tell the number of magnets (poles) and teeth?
when turning by hand does the motor cog (a) strongly, (b) normal, (c) exceptionally weakly?
Thx, Olli
Yes this one will work too. But why don't you use the motor that they official list on the parts list? Further more this motor is on BK while the suggested motor is available right now.
8x4 on 2S is about the max for this motor with around 240Gms thrust. I would think that for a 220gr 3d plane you will need a slightly more powerful motor - something like the 2205C 1400Kv with a 9x4 on 2S delivering around 300 gms of thrust.
38.25 amps can be delivered by the battery. You don't need such a high C-rated battery for your motor and esc. mAh*c-rate/1000=Amps that can be delivered by battery
Hello I'm using it on an indoor plane with 10amp esc and 460ma 2s or 3s (but very much heavier) batteries and it works very well. Depending on the weight of your plane and the power needed.
Bonjour, Non, pour la batterie que tu veux utilisée il n'y a pas de problème je l'utilise également...Jamaise de soucis, mais avec une helice 8*4,3 pas au dessus sinon le moteur force, chauffe est grille. Salut ...
Hi,
This is my first go at a motor like this with a prop saver. Using an 8040 prop the prop hub sits on the prop saver screws and pivots on them - so not sure it will run true. Is this normal?
javen you a=have all this above what else??

Salut , oui tu peux utilisé une 8*4,3. Moi perso sur mon tricoptere J'utilise 3 2204 avec des 8*4,3 et avec un pack 3S, et je n'est jamais eu de soucis ...Bonne continuation
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO PROBLY NOT A GOOD IDEA
I plan to make a quad out of this motor. I have the 7x3,5 and the 8x4.7 allready but what about the 10x4,7 prop? can I use it without a penalty? have anyone used it before and what are the outcomes? I have plenty of turnigy plush 10A.
no i try 8*6 2 cells and motor is very hot....i use esc 15A but 10A work very good!!! this is perfekt motor for small quad credit me pls if you need more answers pm me
You can use 7x3,5 prop with 3s. It's very good setup, gives 420 grams of thrust :) 10 and 8 inch prop is too much big. And for use with 2s lipo would be the best 8x4,3 prop
There are no holes, because the winding is very close to the backmounting cross. No connectors are solderd to the wires. I use to solder the motor wires to the esc after checking the turning direction. Saves weight and mostly doesn_'t need to be disassembled. Please credit:)
This little beast is mounted backmount, so you just put in in front of the firewall and screw it there. use 2x10mm self taping screws and secure them with CA glue. You can just glue it on the surface of the firewall. But better use epoxy for that application.
Amazing quality motor with good value for money. But im bit confused about suitable power set up fr it . When i used this motor with following setup:
800mah, 20c, 2s lipo
10amp esc
8040prop. It worked amazing fr me , but when i used it with 7x3.5 prop. my esc started smoking (burning smell) at full throttle , wat should be the reason ? please guys help me .
thank u .....!!
J'ai plusieurs moteurs 2204/14T. il est prevu pour 8x4.3. Donc, ok pour 8040GWS en 2S. je tourne aussi en 7035 et 7060. Ce n'est pas le moteur qui est en cause => soit un défaut sur l'ESC, soit une phase en defaut.
You probably need a lighter plane, or larger ESC and Motor. It was CAUSED by Over-Amping the ESC by drawing too much current through a faster spinning prop. ~ Nathan
uh... current drops as the motor speeds up. The esc was probably already slightly damaged from the big prop, and once a tiny bit of damage is done, there's nothing you can do. Even reducing the current from 10A to 1A won't prevent failure, it'll just delay it. Kind of like when I got an esc wet, it didn't work right. I dried it out for a week, and it worked fine for 1/2 hour, until that little internal short from the water turning on forward and reverse at the same time slowly ate up an entire mosfet and the whole thing burned up.
j'ai 2 moteurs 2204/14T avec des ESC 10A avec des helice 7060GWS ou 8043GWS. Très bons moteurs en 2S, mais 200gr max pour du vrai 3D (le mieux est 130-150gr).
good point :) quad in the video is 274grams running a 7/35 gws prop cut down to 6/35 uses a 2s 800mah 20c lipo and can hover for 9:30 :D i really like these motors
Ce moteur est le plus répandu dans les clubs indor et ce n'est pas un hasard, il est d'un rapport qualité prix imbattable seul le roulement avant est un peu fragile
I would like to use a regular propadapter with this engine. I guess that exchanging the shaft would solve that (I know it has been done). Could someone point me to a shaft that would be suitable?
Don't forget to look for axis with a groove, even it should be very hard to maintain axis in place.
As the axis is cemented, you can't do the curve by yourself easily.
the "included" prop saver is part of the motor bell. it's built in. no choice. buy a similar small hxt with a 3mm shaft like this www.link one can also be ran on 3s if you like and slightly more amp draw for more power. only 7g heavier
No. The 8x4 GWS prop can be mounted just using rubber ring for integrated prop saver.
However the rings with motor is not so strong... I'm using another one.
You don't need the use of an other propsaver, props keep in place easily. The less easy task to do is put in place the rubber band, due to the tiny gap.
i need help, I was using a 12A plush turnigy ESC with a Rhino 3s 1050 mah 40c LI-po battery, and the max thrust I got is 70 gr, i don't know why if the customers said that got 200 gr for theust. Can someone tell me what configuration was used at the ESC? or what i have to do for get this thrust?http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/imag es/em_cry.gif
I get 220g of thrust and I'm using it 2s with an 8x4.3 prop and a turnigy plush 6amp 6g esc and it works great. Im currently using these on a quadcopter and it works unbelievably. https: //www .youtube .com/ watch? v= uGH-GSdTasc& feature =youtube _gdata_ player
I use it on a cirrus, lipo 450mAh, ESC 12A, 8x4.3 prop, weigth in flying order : 166g. Tork 'n roll without any matter. It also works fine on a polyclub (220g).
Can someone post the mounting dimensions (spacing of the mounting tab holes)? I really wish HK would put a dimensioned drawing on the website for all of their motors...
I recently bought one of these motors and love it (except for the prop saver screws and rubber bands) I went to my local hardware store with my motor and matched up some screws with heads and also purchased a few different rubber O-rings to replace the rubber bands. Now this is the ultimate motor and such a great deal. the O-rings work perfect and the screws with heads hold the o-rings on quite well!
i replaced the screws with m3 pan head screws and use short hair ties that are about 1/2 inch diameter, and stretch it around 2 times. holds really well and survives crash with prop just crooked. and I can use different colors!
The more popular option is to make a motor mount from 1/16" plywood (or slightly thicker) just big enough to provide 1/8" of ply around the wood screw hole, or a bit more. You can even drill out the center of the plywood "disk style" or "X" mount as long as you have enough plywood to secure the motor without stress damage. Some use aluminum mounts they purchase for the motor, and some use epoxy in the foam to hold the mounting screws. I have even seen 1/4" wood dowel cut to around 1/2" long an
There are many combinations prop-battery possible. Please give some more information about: What battery you are planning to use:LiPo 2S or 3S? Type of plane you want to fly with this motor: Indoor normal, 3D? Slowflyer, parkflyer, ...
Using two cells, until a 7oz (200g) thrust, this engine performances are very close to that of Axi 2203/46. At a (9oz/250g) maximal thrust there is a noticeable efficiency decrease.
The mechanical design is quite good but winding as a poor aspect. (but efficient) Take care on the input wires. The prop saver is Ok with 7035 and 8043 prop. Weight is 20g
I installed the Turnigy instead of my old 2204/54 on a 32"/5.3oz biplane and it got the same results in aerobatics including torque roll. Battery is 2s/300mA/h 20C.
Avery good quality/price ratio. Just Turnigy will be appraciate in reduction of weight and winding improvement. Thanks HC! Recommended
wonderful indoor motor! I have this motor on a fancy Foam Yak 55. Quiet, powerful, perfect. Running and APC slo-fly 8x3.8 with Rhino 2s/360 gives me 7-1/2 minutes of pure fun.

I bought this motor from another shop, at almost double the price.
It's a perfect engine for use on indoor foamies. With a 2S 620 mah HXT lipo and a GWS 8*4,3 I have onlimited vertical on my 170 gram (6 oz), and long flying time(If you fly with not to much throttle, you can easyily fly 8-10 minutes with this combo)
It pulls about 6A at full throttle

I have purschased one of this motor. I'm using in a 85cm F3P with 190g and i have a great vertical hit a GWS 8x4.3, its the best prop i have tried. With a 2s 460mah i flygh all about 8min in a hard 3d style, in f3p this can up to 10min. Its an great motor, the price its beter too. Im very satisfied with this.
