Turnigy L3010C-1300kv (420w)

 Nóbrega 4 points

Hello, if I help you, I make use of a TGS Sport 10x5E Precision propeller TRUST 75Amp ESC with a 3S Turnigy Nanotech 25-50 and it does not heat up! Optimum motor, but I advise you to cut 20 mm tip shaft to avoid warping.

No, max voltage for this motor is 11 V

This motor would work (for a limited time) on 4s. One would NEED to run a smaller diam. prop than 3s, and also reduce the prop pitch some. Higher rpms would result but nothing destructive.

 Okeq 1 points

I use 4s, with Randon time, lift the stronger, but when FULL throtle not be too long, for half throtle will be safe until batrey exhausted. 1600mAh / 4s can be up to 23 minutes more.

Hello, drilling it is Y (120 degrees), with 12 mm of the center of the axle to the center of the hole.

 Nóbrega 4 points

3 holes!

 Nóbrega 4 points

I'm sorry for the mistake, with 12 mm distance from the center axis of the hole center.

No accessories come with it. You will have to get a 4mm prop hub adapter or use a couple of 4mm nuts with washers.

 Flyitall 624 points

Dear Stick and Tissue. You are using a prop that is too big and a battery that is too small. I wonder what your amp draw is. Arthur below gets away with a prop that big because he put these on a quad which does not use full throttle much if at all. Hook your setup to an amp meter and check it before you accidentally wreck it.

 Stick&Tissue 63 points

Problem solved by going to 1300mAh 3s Nanotech 45/90C. Allows the motor to draw its full 40 amps without anything getting even warm. The lower discharge 20/30C Zippys were intended for the original DT 750 which draws considerably less current. Prop is fine.

hello I use a 9x7 gut and it gets cold, careful when tightening the fitting motor for my cracked the base had to paste

 Nóbrega 4 points

Ok my friend, thanks for the reply!

 marco antonio 27 points

You can use more engine performance will drop too.

 wildgoose 14 points

I have one of thes motors. An 8" prop is kinda small for it. You'll better thrust with 10x6 or 11x5. I'm only using a 3s 2200 30c battery. It's got tons of power. Hope this helps, good luck

 Gakke 2 points

I know it's kinda small, but the CL-415 is designed for this prop. I will check if I get so lucky that I can go up to 9" props

 wildgoose 14 points

Thanks for the credit Gakke. 9x8 prop will
probably work. Happy flyin'!!

 morphine 413 points

I have the cl-415 Gakke. If you need help with anything let me know.

 Gakke 2 points

I will check out your review of the cl-415

 nickgnz 11 points

use the motor as a lathe I have done this with water jet impellers without harming the motor or ESC

 nickgnz 11 points

T get a nice clean flow around the naked motor I would go to the motor diameter, however this may well reduce the cooling flow to the motor. I would setup on a rig with a carved foam spinner, spin it reasonably slowly say 2000 RPM and blow cigarette over prop see if you can visualize the flow. In face I may do this myself just to see whats happening near the motor. Must start smoking too :)

 Suâmi 5 points

Nick, you should try do the same with incense sticks... They smells better and do no damage to health. :D

 morphine 413 points

Should be a powerful delta when youre done. Yes sounds like a good setup but its going to be heavy dude. No problem with the power for sure, but I have this motor and it aint light. But I like big powerful and heavy power systems too. Its just a lot of weight and power for such a small wing.

 nickgnz 11 points

15 oz/ft²* for my new delta tail which weighs 1500 Grams at take off

 simplyG 231 points

Hi, morphine. I also think it will be a bit on the heavy side. Currently rethinking the carbon frame. Replaced the main spar with 6mm x 4mm CF tube. Not sure if I will be taping the bottom yet. Planned AUW 850-900g.

 morphine 413 points

Well the weight of the tape will not be an issue because the power will easily overcome it. It will fly perfectly fine with the power setup just keep a sharp eye on the CG. I have a GreatPlanes Slinger with the NTM 35-36 motor, a cheap heavyt Chinese 50A ESC, an APCE 10x6 prop and will either fly on a 2200 3s or a 2200 4s. It has a 47.4 inch wingspan and 459 square inches of wing area and it flies perfectly fine despite the weight. There seems to be two types of builders. Some (like me) build heavy and incorporate crash-proofing and such....others build lightweight to extremes. Either way is right if you are happy with your build. Just have fun with it. Thanks for the credit.

 simplyG 231 points

Agree 100%! Funny enough I'm currently working on a GWS A10 twin 55, fitting the airframe and the wing with CF strips trying to shave off 200g, compared to a previous spec which is heavily fortified with 8mm CF tubes and AUW of 900g. Big Indian cast edf's * 4800kv, giving me 1.2kg of thrust. This time trying to beat 62mph.

 morphine 413 points

Sounds like it will be a fun plane. The sound will be a nice compliment to the full scale GE turbines. I bet it will haul ****. :)

 simplyG 231 points

The pictures are on my profile page. Any advice is welcome.

 morphine 413 points

I'll check it out when i get home in the morning. My work pc has those pics blocked.

 morphine 413 points

There isnt a motor mount for this motor. You will have to make one.

 nickgnz 11 points

It has the mount shown on the site with 2 grub screws

 morphine 413 points

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... never saw that one nicky.

 nickgnz 11 points

Your too clever for me :)

 nickgnz 11 points

Its around 8 mm

 morphine 413 points

Thanks for the video nick.

 nickgnz 11 points

Its has the same bearing tube as the DT700 and DT850

 nickgnz 11 points

I have found my dLux ESC is marginally better on thrust but much lower motor temperature, PWM must have a better form factor.

 morphine 413 points

10x6 or just look at what prop it comes with and go down one inch on the diameter and up one number on pitch and it will work fine.

 stitch58 56 points

ok just wanted to make sure,i got a 10x5 on it now it works ok i just was wondering if i went to a 11x4.7 would do it better but the 10x5 is ok.

 Todd 14 points

I see. If you are going to stack them one on top of the other , then you should use a watt meter to be sure you are not going over the recommended wattage. In my opinion your choice should work fine. You are doubling the weight though. If its the diameter you can't have then I would recommend a 9 8 single propeller.

 SepolP 3 points

I think that I will chose another motor with lower KV, the DT750 is great and have a great thurst. Yeah, I'm thinking to use 2 props stack and I'll use 2x 7050 I think. Thank you so much BTW.

 Todd 14 points

prop best suited for me is a 10 6 . 330 watts max. pulls 1350 grams with 3s 1300 mah.

 SepolP 3 points

Thanks for the answer, but I'm searching the propeller that I can use 2x each motor instead of 1x the 10.47 or 11.47, you know?

 iury 5 points

I believe that by kv of the motor, you could use a propeller a little smaller, like 10.47, but don´*t use the sf use the hd.

 nickgnz 11 points

Some tests I ran Turnigy L3010C-1300kv (420w) H-KING 50A Fixed Wing ESC 10 X 6 Windsor Propeller S2 Series Master Air Screw Sabre Shaped blades Turnigy 3C 2200mAh discharge 20C Thrust results 1632 Grams, 415 Watts, 37.6 Amps Grams/Watts 3.93 1490 Grams, 356 Watts, 31.5 Amps Grams/Watts 4.18 1231 Grams, 264 Watts, 23.1 Amps Grams/Watts 4.66 1071 Grams, 214 Watts, 18.2 Amps Grams/Watts 5.00 750 Grams, 139 Watts, 11.6 Amps Grams/Watts 5.39

 Devz_irl 23 points

More than enough but i doubt the battery's would last long.Try a lower kv rated motor.

 Akshay 7 points

thanks..can u suggest any?

 Devz_irl 23 points

A28L brushless Outrunner 920kv x 4 should equal around 2kg of lift with 9x6 prop although there can be mounting problems on some setups

 dhruv 103 points

Hi Akshay,I wanted to ask you that when you bought parts from HK ,how was the service?Were the parts in proper condition when you received them?How many days did it take?I live in Pune so.....

 dhruv 103 points

And,forgot to ask,how did you pay for the parts?

 dhruv 103 points

And what size also.

 markfblue 80 points

It comes as per the picture with soldered on 4mm Gold Connectors - you will need to buy 4mm female sockets if your ESC is not equipped with this size. Type AM1003A into the quick search window on the left and you find what you need.

 dhruv 103 points

You sure they are 4mm?

 markfblue 80 points

Sure I'm sure, absolutely positive - I have 2 of these and have bought the 4mm connectors and they fit perfectly. Looking at the picture you can even see by comparing the size of the shaft which is also 4mm next to the connector that they look about the same diameter. These are relatively powerful motors that draw 40amps with a big prop so I guess they upsized the connectors from 3.5mm to take the load.

 morphine 413 points

3s only and it would be a bit too heavy for your foamy. I own one of these motors.

 Carbond 19 points

Are you able to weigh the motor? My stock motor is 60 grams and it runs fine. I can shift the cg back a bit by mounting it closer to the CG and i can put the battery further back too.

 morphine 413 points

Its 87g. Whats not real obvious in the picture is that where you see the motor mounting holes there is a significant gap (distance) to the bell where the weight is. Cameron this is a good motor and it is priced well. As a matter of fact, it is priced great. If you have room in the fuselage to move your battery back far enough to reclaim CG then yes..... you can indeed make it work. I was surprised to learn that the stock motor is 60g. If that is the case, I would go for it.

 Carbond 19 points

Ok awesome! I'm going to order this one and i'll let you know how it goes.

 morphine 413 points

Thanks and keep us posted.

 dhruv 103 points

morphine,do they come with gold connectors and what size?

 morphine 413 points

dhruv it comes with 4mm gold connectors as per the picture.

 flieger_siggi 10 points

i've used it for some hours of flight with some heavy landings...no Problem, the prop's gone but not the shaft.

 stitch58 56 points

ya the shafts break just looking at em i am looking for shafts now broke 3 motors in a week.

 jteee 241 points

Stitch - shaft breaks from usage or lawndarting your planes, or overpropping it? I cant see three shafts just breaking.

 ~flyhigh~ 80 points

Try 10x6 or 10x5

 dhruv 103 points

Try?You are not SURE?

 ~flyhigh~ 80 points

Because real thrust depend from a lot of parameters –* ESC, battery, prop type, flying style etc. etc. It’*s theoretical approach.

 Jonas 3 points

How can I get replacement shaft for this motor? Maybe it's possible to adapt shaft from other motor? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Cheers.

 ~flyhigh~ 80 points

Sorry, never did before. Possible pressing-out need. May be easy to buy new one if not possible to adjust. Actually don’*t know where to find out spare shaft.

 cmaynex 13 points

I replaced this motor shaft with a rimfire 3536. T o w e r h b y. Shorter but works great. Not threaded but that's a good thing because the threaded shaft is weak.

 dhruv 103 points

Akshay,You can find your answer just above,in my discussion .Hope this helps!!

 dhruv 103 points

I forgot,I am using it with a 2650mAh 3s 20C turnigy lipo and the Red brick 50A ESC.Hope this helps!

 dhruv 103 points

In your video,Quad problem,How did you bring the transmitter throttle stick(the left one)to zero as the initial position?Please help!

 Akshay 7 points

the left is not throttle..right one is! and i wanted motor name not prop?

 dhruv 103 points

I have not recieved the credit.how is that possible?

 Akshay 7 points

i dono.. i clicked ! but shud have more concern about sharin knowledge though!

 dhruv 103 points

But still it is not fair!HK how could you do this ?
