Hi everyone, Somebody knows if this motor would lift a total flight weight around max 2,5 kilograms ? (thinking about the X8 Skywalker flying wing, 2 meter.)
Please help me about this issue.
Then which folding prop is recommended ? too
thank you ....and waiting for answers
regards
Hi Dennis !!! thank you for your answer...I think I wrote wrong INFO about that X8 wing flyweight.actually it has almost 4 KG !!!.on total load (complete with FPV equipment)..ooppps.
It is supposed to subsitude any.46 engine, so 4 kg will be about the edge. It might lift it in the air but carefull with agressive manouvers, since you will be tight on the throtle. You will have to play with the number of cells of the Lipo and the propeller size.
This is the motor I used on my Soar 40, but I found it a little under powered with a 4000 4S with a 13 x 7 prop but I'm going to try a 5S battery pack today (28/01/13) and that should fix the problem.
I would like to run a bigger prop, but the undercarriage wont allow it and the 13" is almost hitting the ground now .... ? Will report back and let you know how it goes, I can tell you she fly's really good for a $48 model ... :)
Soar 40 tested with 4000 5S and is working great, I can get around 7 or 8 minutes flight if I potter around on half throttle, but usually set the timer for 6 minutes and enjoy myself sometimes .... :-)
Its definatley no pattern ship, but its a great first, low wing trainer and semi advanced sports plane.
If your wanting it to do more, then I would suggest upping the motor size to a 60 and that will give you more aerobatic abilities.
10x6 on 5s is about 25 amps, about 60 mph pitch speed, and about 70 oz of thrust.
11x7 on 5s is about 40 amps, about 70 mph pitch speed, and about 100 oz of thrust.
All the above numbers static, not in-flight.
Therefore, your 90 amp ESC is way too much.
I know my ESC is rated much higher than I need but can I still use it? Will it damage anything? I had a bad experience with a 60 amp esc from electrifly so I always go double what I need.
That's crazy talk. I sue turnigy plush escs all day long at their recommended maximum amperage, I actually use the 60 amp ones at about 65 amp peaks, continuous draw a bit over 45 amps on my EF1 pylon racers. So, in answer to your question, your 90 amp esc will work, but so will a 40 amp turnigy plush, at, I bet, 30% of the weight of your 90 amp electrifly.
matt, yes you can use your esc.. i use a 70amp on mine. you always want to use a lil bigger esc.. yea yours is overkill but i would buy another one.. you just will never have to worry about your esc burning up
I'm wanting to pick up a Top Flite Elder .40 kit and I want to go electric. I was considering the Rimfire .46 or Power .46, but curious to know if this would be a viable substitute.
JK I would save my money and definitely buy this G46. I use it on my 6' Telemaster 40 and frankly if it were me building that Elder I'd use the G32. That will keep the battery size down, keep the weight down and given the scale nature of the Elder you should get better scale performance from the G32. I think the .46 is way overpowered for that plane's structure. Even though they call these electric motors "easy match" they are still stronger and have more torque than their nitro counterparts. A 4s battery at 40 amps will pull almost 600watts on the G32 which is almost 100 watts a pound on a plane that only needs 65-80 to fly well. Good luck with your build!
JK I know it sounds like I contradicted myself but let me state I still would buy the easy match series (whatever size you choose) before spending extra bucks on the Rimfire motors. that's what I meant. I stand firm on the 32 :)
It would depend on what size prop I wanted to use. The motor comes in 530,600 and 770kv so low to high would be larger prop to smaller. Which ever one gave me the most scale prop appearance is what I'd get. My gut would lean towards the 530 or 600 and use a larger prop.
Hola Amigos: tengo un YAK 54 plywood/balsa 1130 mm envergadura. Para 3D con este motor, que hé*lice, baterí*a y capacidad de la misma necesito para tener buena potencia? (cuantas celdas y miliamperios?). Gracias por su respuesta. Saludos!
This would be an enormous motor for a 1400mm MXSR
it might fly but the weight with the setup you're saying would be a ton especially for a 3D plane. I would say try a 42-50 size motor or even a 42-40 and a 2200-3000mah 5S 40-50C and a good 60-80amp ESC will give you great 3D and decent flight times and low weight. I've used this motor on an 81" J-3 and it's very powerful even on 4S. Great motors wrong size for you I think
The propeller adaptor is for a 10mm hole propeller and calls for a 12x8 propeller. No propellers have a 10mm hole. Do you have an adaptor for a standard 1/4" propeller?
Ronald, i ran this motor on a sig mayhem 40 that i converted to elec. I run an APC 12x8 prop. I just reamed out the center hole in the prop to suit the shaft size if the motor. An easy enough task, just be sure to ream out the hole evenly as to not sirupt the balance of the prop.
Giacomo just remember that every motor is going to perform differently per every application. Just use this rule of thumb to suit the type of flyiong you plane on doing with what style of plane.
50 to 80 W/lb - powered gliders, basic park flyers and trainers, classic biplanes and vintage ('Old Timer') type planes.
80 to 120 W/lb - general sport flying and basic/intermediate aerobatics. Many scale (eg warbirds) subjects suit this power band.
120 to 180W/lb - more serious aerobatics, pattern flying, 3D and scale EDF jets
180 to 200 W/lb - faster jets and anything that requires Arnie-amounts of muscle! Wattage is what matters the most!

I have one of these on a Mikulasko "Arrow" delta wing flying boat, spinning an 11x8 MAS 3 blade prop on a 5S 3000 pack. It turns 12,000 RPM, good for 90mph and over 8 pounds of static thrust. Current is 32A at that. I am well pleased.
Hi again .. thanks to both who responded ... I have ordered the 5S 5000mAh batteries and a 60A turnigy plush esc. I would need to rebuild the landing gear to allow clearance for 14" prop .. any thoughts on using 12x8
hi folks ... Im looking at putting this motor into a super sportster 40. using 4-5s 5000mAh batteries and a 60A esc. all up weight of about 3.5kg any prop recommendations??? or other advise is always appreciated

Hi, I have around 810W with 5s lipo and 13x6 MAS prop on this motor.
But usually I use this motor with 14x8 JXF or 13x8 3 bladed props with 5s lipo on my Kyosho Ki-61 .50 size.
I already have a Nitro .46 for my Thunder Tiger Trainer. . . Would this motor flies it.
What battery & ESC do u recommend if the above answer is yes .
Thank you.
Hi, I used this motor, with a Turnigy Plush 60A ESC, two 5000mah 2s 40c Turnigy Lipos hooked in series (4s total), and a 13x8 prop. Wow, way cool. Loads of power for my Carl Goldberg Eagle 2. Pulls 54 amps total with this set-up. Flight time is around 10-14 minutes depending on throttle. I hope that this helps!
I too use this motor. I installed it on a Hangar 9 P-51. 60 amp esc, Zippy 5800 mah 5S lipo battery. It flys great! I replace the .46 evolution glow motor with this. Very Very Happy.
Which will be the best motor mount for this motor to put to a firewall I bought HXT alloy composite firewall mount (85/36mm) but the holes does not match
Thank you
I have two of theese and only one worked right! I build a plywoond box for my cessna 150 and porter. I nosed the porter into concrete The motor and mount survived the plane not so much so now i only need 1 working motor.
I just purchased this motor and Im putting in on a Superspotser Mark ll Kit im building and it will weigh around 6lb with floats. Im wondering what battery will be best - Using a 60amp plush esc and would like to use a 4 c battery. Thank you
The motor is rated to 4-5s on 4s you most likely need around 14x8 prop to get good thrust, having said that, mine pulls on 4s 39 amps on a 12x8 apce and 54 amps on a 12x8 tgs, better to test with a wattmeter first.
I have found that this motor performs best with 5 cell, always best to run higher volts, lower amps, you will be looking to pull about 800 watts that equates to 45 amps you must always set your prop size using a watt meter
Sarg, i use to run this on a hangar 9 P-51 with a 13x6 prop. I now have it on the HK P-47 1600mm. Ended up with the red brick 125 amp controller and a Master Airscrew 16x6 prop. it roars with this. The APC 13x6 or maybe a 13x10 would work with the stick.
Yes my friend , this is a great motor for a trainer.For a good perfromance the 13x6 would be a good choice.For economy and overall good performance the 12x7(glow version) would be a good choice.
Well I use a much smaller motor in my trainer, that is recommended for a .46 engine. This motor is a 5055 and I use a 3548 in my 1500mm trainer and it flies great.
I installed this motor in a P51 mustang with great results, the only problem is, it vibrates the hell out of the plane. Even without the prop I feel a slight vibration. Is there any way I can confirm if it is the motor?
Yes balance your prop then you can tell better. New props can be out of balance and it should never be Aiken for granted that hey are ok. I use the blue balancer and it works great.
This engine will operate with a 60A ESC and two 3s 2200mAh batteries in series? For I 2 Li-Po 2200mAh 3S Nanotech
I will use this engine in a Katana .46 HK
Thanks.
The turnigy 5055 series is rated to 6s, while you might be able to run 6s it will need a smaller prop to stay within the watts rating. Better not try this with out a watt meter.
Hey bro.You will need a glow engine spinner for use with the g46 because it uses an axle adaptor.The 52mm spinner would fit perfectly on it (I have one on mine).
I have a ICELITE 100 BRUSHLESS esc...100AMPS 25 VOLTS MAX ans its suggested to use 6s LiPo's I'm looking for a Turnigy brushless Outrunner motor that will work. Can you help a brother out.
Not much info to go on here to help you out. What type of plane are you looking for a motor for? What's the weight? How many cells do you plan on running? The G46 is only rated for 5 cells. Just cause the esc is rated for 6 cells doesn't mean you have to run 6 cells. The esc would be more then good enough for the G46, but without knowing what plane your looking for a motor for, we can't help you out. Post as much info as you can so we can help you out.
I kinda figured I wasn't providing enough info. I have a 540 Edge that i'm converting from gas to Electric.It had a 60 OS nitro engine.66 inch wing span.. I have 2 4200 mah 5s Lipo batteries.I will be running 1ea. 5 cell Lipo.. I hope this helps a little. Sorry about the lousy plea help the go round for help.lol
The g46 is not rated for 6s( 5 max) you would do better to go with a g60 which is rated for 5-7s, with 5s you could turn a larger prop better suited to your plane. Maybe even a large 3bl turnigy prop would look cool.
On the Turnigy G-46 brushless motor, can the shaft be moved to extend from the oppsite end to allow the motor to be mounted on the other end. Thank You.
I would think the G46 would be more then good enough for it depending on the weight. Whats the plane weight or can you post a link to the plane itself so we can get a better idea of what you have. The G series motors are suppost to be equivalent to the glow motors. So if it called for a .40 glow then yes this motor would be perfect for you
I'm flying a Piper cub 1.8M wingspan which is equivalent to 6 feet. I'm using a G46 670kv and it's fine, perhaps a little overpowered for the weight of the plane (3KG). But the G46 certainly 'hauls' the cub around the sky.

1 thumbs up!
I just recived this and it's well made seem's much better then there sr line has an excllent feel to it ,bearing's feel good
I tested it with a master 13X 6 prop
on 4S it gave 28 amps 410watt's on 5s it gave 40 amps 830 watts
plese note the above numbers is the avarage of running the motor 60 second's at full throttle . it does seem to like 5 S motor was only slightly warm after each run

Alone queria to ask if this motor is better than the TR50-55B, the specifications technos are seemed among both although the TR50-55B has the axis of 8mm, They weigh practicamente the same thing although the G46 is but long. The TR seems to deliver but power that the G46 being the first one of smaller price, some 10$ 7.

It is possible that the G46 this manufactured with better materials, himanes, thread, Steel etc? Agradeceria a lot that answered to these questions since in this way ayudarian to all the buyers to take better and but rapidamente their decisions of purchase. Excuse for the English, I am utilizing a translator. A cordial greeting and thanks.
Its now November probably wont be using this motor until next Spring. I hav at least 10 other Turnigy mototrs of various sizes and havent been disappointed yet!
