Would like to use this motor on a ESM B25 , is it recommended . If so what esc, prop and batteries

Tom (50%)
THESE WOULD WORK GREAT. I RUN A 16X10 MASTER AIRSCREW 3 BLADE PROP ON 6 CELL 5000 20C PACKS, A PLUSH 60AMP ESC AND IT DRAWS 57AMPS STATIC SO DROPS BELOW 50 IN THE AIR. MOST FLYING DONE AT 60% THROTTLE AND GET 9 MIN FLIGHTS. I'M THINKING OF DOING THE SAME PLANE, I HAVE THE MOTORS AND ESC'S IN A 90" OV-10 BRONCO AT 23LBS ITS A ROCKET..

I need 1800-2000 watts. Can I get this with this motor, 3000mah 6s 30c battery 16x10 prop, and hobbyking 100a esc?

BillW (55%)
for ~1800w try the new 4500/6s Turnigy nano batteries with a 100a esc and a APC 18x10E.
I use this combo in a new 8 Lb. 3D Hobby 70"
Slick and it works very well.

Has anyone tryed this motor with a 4s. Trying to decide on a prop, I am running 8s with a 16-10 Turnigy wood-e prop. It will hit 2400 watts if I don't watch it. I'm thinking maybe a 22-8 would be about right & I could cut my weight by 10%.
It's in a 2.2kg GeeBee-Z
Thx Glenn

g3836p (19%)
Never mind, my ESC will not arm on a 4s.

TGY AerodriveXp 90 SK Series 50-65 380Kv / 1820w good motor

mattyhawk (81%)
I think that the motor will work, but the efficiency will drop hard. It is most efficient (using motocalc) on higher voltage, 6S and above

I am using this motor with very good results. I am using the Turnigy Brushless ESC 85A w/ 5A SBEC. I am getting 1800 watts, with 79 amps at full throttle on 6 cell lipo with a 18x12 Graupner G- Sonic propeller. I have this set up on a large scale Ultimate Bi-Plane. It would not pull the 18x12 3 blade prop on 4 cells. It would show 178 watts on my meter. I could get 750 watts on 4 cells with a 18x10 2 blade APC prop. But I think it was not efficient. I think six cell is the way to go, with a 18x12 3 blade prop. I am using 3 two cell batteries, Turnigy 2 cell 4000 mah 40c In series. I have lots of power and when they are on sale they are $20 dollars. Thank you Greg

i put this motor on a 65" mustang p-51. before flying i decided to do the normal range check and taxying. when i taxied the plane back i noticed a vibration starting to come from the front of the plane. i shut it down and took the plane inside and tore it down. i found that the flux ring had come undone from the bell end. it came unscrewed. so i cleaned up the threads and put the red lock tite on it.

i am wondering if this will work. it has been more then 3 mounths since i ordered this motor so as i read it is no longer under warenty. has anyone else noteced this. what else can i do to fix problem?

later andrew K

mario_begni (17%)
These motors can be fixed with glue and when run properly, you must perform an electrical test, after you can install the model showing final when with correct propeller, running at their current fair, and do not produce any abnormal noise. It can again be used in flight. Greetings Mario. ( excellent glues are cyan acrylic thick and epoxy 30 or more time )

Hi all,

Does anyone know the number of poles (magnets?). I know I could have count them myself, I glued the magnets with cyano but forgot to count and now it's built in... My CC 100 ICE would like to know the number of magnets. Please help!

Hi everybody!

Does anyone knows the dimension of the propo adapter?

Because i would like to buy a spinner for this motor, but i don't know if the adapter is M5 or M6 or something else!

Thank you very much!

Does anyone know the dimensions of the mounting holes? Also, what connectors come with this motor? The picture shows female 4mm plugs, but the other Turnigy motors I purchased have the male 4mm plugs.

Does this motor have the same mounting setup as the 50-55 650kv Turnigy SK?

Hati (78%)
Which mounting holes? On the motor itself or the mounting "cross"?
The motor comes with a set of matching connectors, males soldered on the motor winding wires and females provided to solder onto the ESC wires.

I have received this motor last week. After installing it in my Extra 300S I did a test run without prop. After a few seconds the main bearing in the firewall died. Does anyone know where I can get replacement bearings?

Thanks

Hati (78%)
Any 16x8x5 bearing will do. On the stator side at least (the end where the wires come out).

m109a5 (56%)
Thanks for the info! Do you also know the dimension oft the rear end bearings?(2 peaces of the same dimension)

br

Hati (78%)
I can't pull the bearing out and it doesn't have the dimensions like the rear, but what I can measure like that seems to be 12x8x5.

m109a5 (56%)
I have measured the bearings from my motor. Main bearing (bigger one) 16x8x5 and 2 small bearings 12x8x3.5.

Michael (90%)
Is there a list of TGY AerodriveXp SK Series 50-65 380Kv programming instructions available?

Michael (90%)
Not the programming but rather the timing.

BPGoa (98%)
this motor works well on mid or high timing. draws more current and has a bit quicker punch on high timing... but to me this is a disadvantage as I want the throttle feathering capabilities for 3d work... glue the magnets.

Hi im using the motor in a hanger 9 funtana x50 with turnigy 80amp plush 3s2p in series. 16x10e prop have an issue with it starting in reverse or its not sure which way to go intermittently? i have tried it on low mid and hi timing still does it. this happend in flight and caused a hard landing as i lost power any help is much appreciated.

Cheers Chris

Sounds weird. Have you tried to change Startmode also? With big props it might be better to use Soft or Very soft mode..

HackerA60 (65%)
you probably have too long wires from the battery to the ESC. Or you may add some extra capacitors there.
It's not the motors problem, I had the same issue with a Sentilon 100A HV and 12S battery on a SK63-74. I bought a Phoenix 85HV and all problems are gone.
It's probably a clever start-up algorithm in these ESCs, which the Turnigys do not have.

Be careful, when the motor is not running as supposed to do, this generates too high DC load on the motor and may burn it up. (I measured about 15Amps during this "reverse" phase -> with smoke out of the motor **- when running normally, it takes over 90Amps, stays rather cool!)

Hi All, Should I be glueing the magnets. Some say high timing sorts the issue out, others say glue them. What is best. Should i glue and change the timing? Is medium timing better? Motor is for Cap 232 60

blueocean2 (62%)
I put thin cyano over the magnets to be extra sure and i'm also using high timing.It gives little more power(and takes amps) with high timing, but also works very well.

I am looking to convert my glow U Can Do 3D 60 to Electric. This motor seems to be a good choice. Which prop should I choose for 3D flight? I use a 15x4 with glow.

mattyhawk (81%)
You give too little info, but using motocalc, theoretical output of an APC 16x6 8S is about 150oz of thrust & 52mph Pitch at 50A. The U Can Do 3D 60 is about 85oz. That is almost 2:1 thrust ratio. 6S would need to run a minimum 17x8 prop for you to get good thrust for 3D

i use this motor reversed on the angel 50 s.
release the grubscrews and press the shaft through.
leave enough shaft there to mount the safety collar that comes in the kit.
threadlock the whole lot up.

I would also recomend popping the outrunner off and adding extra glue to the magnets. my motor threw 4 in flight.

Kaptain Krash (50%)
Can anyone tell me what glue they use to hold the magnets down. Mine looks to be some sort of black adhesive. I have multiple magnets that need to be set in and glued down. Is there any tips on how to hold them in location prior to glueing them. I have a hard time keeping in the right position. I made spacers but they keep juming to another magnet...Thanks Kevin

BPGoa (98%)
I would suggest a rubberised cyno ( locktite 4308 or 430). this is what I used on recommendation from the product specialist at locktite. A layer of sticky tape can help. tack them with the cyno (you must use the correct kicker) then remove spacers. then wick the glue under the magnets from each side.

Can this motor shaft be reversed?
Can someone point me to some procedures?

Does anyone know which standoffs will fit this motor.Thanks

BryanC (55%)
Maybe this may help you.
It's a motor mount that should fit.
I do not have one so please read carefully.

which of Noam Perakis' reviews is correct? They contradict each other. I assume the figures for the 16x10 are correct?

Jose (84%)
Its gotta be the one using the 16-10 prop. I have one and that's about the right amp draw for it.

I'm running this motor in my angel 50s on an apc 16x10e prop with 6 cell 3700 rhino cells, a turnigy 80 amp plush speed controller and it's pulling 48 amps at wide open throttle and the plane held static.

hope tht helps

dutz5 (60%)
sorry I made a mistake on the first review the correct prop was 16x10!

I'm still using this brushless without any problem! *-)

BPGoa (98%)
mine threw it's magnets (4 of them)... so i superglued them in with rubberised cyno and it's working as before

alexeames (72%)
What are the dimensions of this motor?

BPGoa (98%)
what is says on the tin - 50mm diameter by 65mm of Rotor length - shaft sticks out long enough to clear a 6mm firewall and get a prop adapter on.

Is this 8-10% more efficient than turnigy 50-65 400kv motor? How do these 2 motors compare? Is this new one much better?
Thanks

Gary (74%)
I haven't tried the 50-65 400kv just the 50-55 600kv and 400kv. The 50-65 has a 30mm rotor and the 50-55 has a 20mm rotor. Thats a big improvement.
