This motor has a nice collection of hardware. But the screws for the prop adapter do not match the motor housing. I thought that had I read that someone else had the same problem. But I can't find his comments. Has anyone else had this problem? Did you tape it out?
I really love this motor
Hoping they will come back in stock again soon, since I have two scratch buildt plains that I want to put them in. Or maybe someone has any other motors with the same effect/price?
Salve uso questi motori sul mio Quadicottero
Che elica mi consigliate alimento con Life A123
per adesso 3S 9,9V posso arrivare a Life 4S 13,2V
o rischio di bruciare motore ?
Grazie
I have this outrunner, i am looking for shaft replacement, but i am not able to find it. What is the right shaft replacement for it? I measured 3mm X 54mm no such piece found here... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/images/em_r olleyes.gif
I've been waiting for stock to arrive more o less for three weeks. Does someone know how long it usually takes the stock to arrive? I want this motor but I have a limited time to build my aircraft... Somebody could tell me the usually average time?
Before 2 day ago. I asked to customer service servo arrival time(backorder).. They told ne in stock after than 15days. But last day servo in stock. And my parcel shipped. Do not turst customer sevice about stock information

OK. Thanks for the tip, I'm a newbie at buying aircraft parts here. Anyway, I bought them a week ago in another place where the shipping is cheaper. These are less expensive, though.
They are in order. Connect the center conductor wire to a central wire ESC. The remaining two wires connect as you like (affects the direction of rotation of the motor).
I think it's very smooth indeed, good resolution and throttle response. I use it on a camera plane and i get no vibrations and stable thrust.
When twisted by hand you can't feel these distinctive "notches", its a more smooth rotation.
Yes you get a lot of equipment.
It comes with a X-shaped mount with screws, connectors for both ESC and motor, a propsaver with o-rings, an extra shaft and a propadapter that are screwd directly to the motor bell.
I'm building my first RC airplane... it's a 2M Gentle Lady glider that I'm converting into a motor glider.
I'm looking for a good motor/folding prop that will work.
Does anybody know if this motor and a 10x6 folding prop would be a reasonable choice?
read the instructions of the esc, maybe the position of full throttle isn't configured correct.
******************************
maybe you could use a prop of another brand. aeronaut from germany are good quality.
******************************
i use the same motor, with the nearly the same prop (10x6 11x5 or so), draws about 19-20 amps
bullet connectors are sent along with the motor... you have to solder the male bullets to the motor and the remaining females to the ABC wires of the ESC. a very good motor have 5 of these..
i have measured it and i find 3mm too, and i add that a second shaft (of 3mm too) is gived with the engine, as an adapter for propeller mounted directly on the rotating cage by 4 screws
this is a damn powerful motor.. will work as a replacement to much of the motors. if it is overpowered you can always keep low throttle. check the weight for the main issue..!
It works great on 2-meter gliders. Plenty of power with a 3s 2100 lipo. l use a 8" folding prop and wow! That thing climbs at 70 degres at 3/4 throttle with no problem.
Can some one explain to me how to wire this motor to the ESC? The ESC has 3 wires, red, ( ve) black (-ve)_ and white but the motor just has 3 black wires. Does it not really matter which way these are connected as long as the motor spins in the right direction?
It does not matter which wire goes where, just connect up the esc to the three motor wires and see if it goes in the right direction. If it does you are good to go, if not you need only to swap two of the motor wires to change the direction of the motor. Note some of the programmable esc's allow the motor to be reversed in the software so this could be another way of changing the direction of the motor. DO NOT however change the battery connections as this will more than likely destroy your spee
Hi it doesn't matter for the wire color. just make sure the middle cable is connected to the middle esc cable. and then just switch the other two cable for rotation or counter rotate.
Yo don't have to make sure the middle cable is connected to the middle. The tree wires can be arranged in any order! (But to change direction: change two, does not matter witch two!)
Hello, anyone know if this motor comes with motor mounts? I'm reading here that the shaft can be reverse, so does this mean that I can mount the motor from the bottom? I'm thinking of using this motor on a quadcopter.
Yes it comes with a motor mount. It also comes with a spare motor shaft. I have turned the motor around on my quad, what I did was I losened the hex screw and tapped the shaft out, left the C-ring on. Took the spare shaft and put that in with a new fresh C-ring on.
Don't remove the C-clip. 1. Unscrew the hex screw holding the shaft and tapp it out. 2. Put one of the unused C-clip on the spare shaft and push it in the other way, tighten the hex screw. 3. Put the first shaft back in the plastic bag as a backup.
For the Pilotage/3D plane it's advised to have 1.5 more thrust than the plane weights. I don't know how much does your formosa 2 weight, but this motor has a thrust of ~1.2KG, and i would recommend this motor for 700-900 G plane with all electronics.
I ran a KD A22-20L on my 1Kg Extra 300 and it gives good pattern performance and mild 3D. Use a 10x5 prop, you will get 1.1Kg thrust on 3s.
I have now upgraded to a 35-36 size motor on 12x6 and 3D performance is markedly improved with 1.4Kg thrust, unlimited vertical and good 3D performance.
part of the description says the shaft is 3.0. bought a spinner with 10x6 prop for a 3.0 shaft and it doesn't fit. anyone know if it's a 3.17 or 3.2? thanks
Well, I recommend you to reverse the shaft because it breaks and put the other mount, the one with screws, it is harder and it fits well with the propellers. Do it if you can...
good flights!
I had problems with the screws from the front.
The screws dusted, and I was wondering what size these bolts.
If anyone knows, please tell me if they have sales here.
I just bought this motor with a 30A ESC, I have a general idea how to install it but if anyone can give me a rundown on how to do it I would greatly appreciate. I'm guessing, I take out the nub and install the longer shaft but is there anything I really need to know. Thanks in advance.
Please teach me, I am using the start mount shaft for my easy glider, so how do I attach the spinner on the start mount shaft. Is there one that fix on the start mount shaft. thanks
I have this on my Boom with a 10x4 prop and love it.
I just burned up a Super Tiger .10 APC 10x7e prop.
WHAT do you guys think of this on a Parkzone T-28 with a APC 10x7e prop, Rino 3c 1250 20c battery?
Any better ideas for the Pk T-28?
My motor mount that came with this broke. Does anyone have a link or item that I could search for that would be a suitable replacement motor mount?
I hope the replacement is the exact same size, as I don't want to drill more holes.
Has anybody experience with this motor on 2S(Props/PowerConsumption)?. I thougt of running an EasyGlider with this on 2S/3S, but all comments are only for 3S, incl. the description.
Using gear and methods explained here: www.link following results were obtained. 9x5 APCglow @10.95V: 14.9A 9720rpm 810g 66 km/h plus15C 10x5 APC-e @10.65V: 19.8A 8660rpm 1080g 60 km/h plus18C 11x5.5 APC-e @10.65V: 24.1A 8120rpm 1240g plus32C This tiny motor is capable of incredible power levels for it's 85g weight. Efficiency is over 70pcnt up to 20A current. My recommended combo would be 10x5 APC electric prop, 3s 2200mAh Hextronik battery and Hextronik BMC30A esc 330g total weight with 1kgplus thrust!

Nice little Motor. I use it in an EasyGlider with an 10x6 folding prop and an 2200/16C 3S lipo. It drags about 20 Amps. The EGE climbs fast at more than 45 degrees. That's what i wanted! The Motor is more than worth the money!

This motor is spectacular!! I have it on a Yak-54 .25 gas conversion and it performs BETTER then a .25 gas. Plane weighs 42 ounces yet I'm getting unlimited vertical. I'm spinning a 10x3.8 prop on a 3 cell pack 2100mah, no BEC. I'm getting 47 ounces of thrust at 22.4 amps, unbelievable. Flights last 5.5 minutes. I was purchasing these motors from a different vendor till I found Unites Hobbies which has them for half the price! I ordered three more for stock. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

One of my favourite motors. I have this motor on my GWS Formosa spinning a 9x6E prop and it will pull close to unlimited vertical. With a 2200mah 3S lipo, the motor comes down only warm. Fits perfectly on the GWS outrunner stick mounts.
Will be ordering more of these motors in the future.

What an awesome motor! I'm using it in a powered glider that weighs 700g.
System: Motor: KD A22-20L Prop: Graupner 11x8 folding blades with MP Jet spinner plus 3mm shaft collet. Battery: Loong Max 15C/25C 1000mAh 3S ESC: Turnigy Plush 40A
Performance data: 230W @ 24A, 9.7V, sustained. 6800rpm. Thrust calculated at 1100g (exceeds 1.5:1), and flight testing backs this up as shown by plumb-vertical climbs at good speed.
This is a credit to the motor. Show me another motor of this size and weight that can handle this kind of power! Power is only used for short bursts to 500plus feet, which helps, but even so, the motor has to be capable. I planned on 6 climbs per charge, but I'm getting 10 - 12 due to the awesome power and thrust - shorter "on" time than expected due to the rapid climb rate.
A far better motor than the "Hacker copies". You won't be disappointed.
