USA warehouse now open. Our USA warehouse is now open! Low cost shipping and an ever growing variety make ordering from the US warehouse even better value!
NTM Prop Drive motors are rock-solid performance outrunners with tight windings, quality bearings, correctly rated magnets, balanced stator and flux rings plus they are QC checked at 14 points, from material processing all the way through to final dyno test.
Because we design and build these motors completely in-house (from 3D/2D drawing to materials sourcing, machining, balancing, final assembly and dyno) we can completely control production and ensure product consistency from design right through to shipping the product to you. The removal of middle-men has meant we can drive better value to the market and retail these motors at factory(our) prices! All performance figures are real and tested on our own motor dynos.
Our QC engineers check and balance each motor before shipping to the HobbyKing.com warehouse.
Specs: Model: NTM Prop Drive Series 13-12 2600kv Kv: 2600rpm/v Max current (Burst): 3.9A Max current (suststained): 3.0A Max Power: 42W @ 11.1v (3S) Shaft: 1.5mm Weight: 5g ESC: 5~8A Cell count: 2s~3s Lipoly Mount type: Tri-hole firewall mount (15mm width between mount holes) Connection: Loose wire (for direct soldering)
I need to use this motor with two 3.9g servos. And I need to have lightest battery which can power it for a long time. Can anybody suggest me something about this?
Hobby King has a 1.5mm prop adapter that would fit, but it is very big compared to the 13-12 motor. I run my motor on 1S with a GWS DD 5x3 prop and attach the prop with hot glue. Just hold the prop against the motor and inject the hot glue into the space around the shaft. On a 1S lipo, this motor has little power, I'm not sure if the hot glue trick would work with 2S power.

I bought 2 of these stinkers for 3s application with 4.5x4.5 and 4025 and cut down 3020 - this motor gets toooo hot on 3s! I fried my 1st on first run, will only go 2s on these!
Can be possible, when you use a 3cell lipo (129gr thrust) and keep everything REALY light weight. 4A max with small 4.5x4.5 props is not much. The HK yellow fiberglass micro quad and the white PCB micro quads require at least a 18-size motor, like the 1811-2000kv with 2mm shafts, 5x3x3 props and can use a 2cell lipo (6A max). This results in half-stick hoover. This motor will probably not achieve that.
Hi everybody - just ordered two.
Would be interesting to compare with my favorite AP 05 under real flights. Engine looks good, data sounds good. Price - ! Will come back with results after receiving the little horses.
Has anybody used this motors yet ??
Hi rizky - I think good.Especially for 3 cell application. My ( inner ) opinion says use 4,1 x 4,1 props- so you will have high rpm and a stable flight. Just try it
I use the prop adapter from the radjet 420.
My little radjet 420 flies super fast.
It's now a turbo Radjet!!
3S 3.75x3 prop Radjet flies over 50mph!!!
Continues Throttle 100% the motor stay cool.
Everyone must upgrade his little radjet with this little motor.

This is the REAL KING of 5 grammers bl motors, beats my favourite AP 05 (same mounting wholes nearly equal weight differs 0,2 gramm?!?)
Changed in two models ( sailplane 2s-Lipo 780 mm flying weight 90 Gramms, Cox Mustang 540 mm 3S- Lipo 120 gramm now it`s a rocket )
-First experience longer flying time - more power - looks like much higher efficiency. Don`t want to bore with "individual measurement" I bought two of this Kings and I am really proud to show my collegues what`s going on!!

I was about to buy this motor but was disapointed to find out that there's no 1.5mm prop savers available on this site...the purpose of this motor is to keep the weight down. A collar weighs the same or more than the motor.
I use the prop adapter from the radjet 420.

Bare thread wires are impossible to connect to any ESC. I literally tried 8 times and eventually ran out of wire since it kept breaking. The idea of using winding wire as connecting wire is overrated. I'll pay the penalty of a few grams to have a wire I can connect (and a motor I can use).
