i am designing a micro quad-rotor and i am just wondering if a 5x3 3 blade prop would work with this motor

I dont know the size of screws used to fix the motor mount to the motor firewall. Can anyone tell me the size of holes of the motor mount????
 customer5 289 points
They are 2.20mm and 2.00mm, measured using caliper hope this helps!

Hey, Anyone to tell me what is the space between mounting holes ? Thanks
 __bare 709 points
Dunno.. but it's of standard spacings. As in it will fit most any current mountings

can i put a 3cell with an 18amp esc on this?
 Keith 7 points
I would say no. Max volts is 9 volts. would burn after a while.
 __bare 709 points
Nonsense.. with a 1550kv one could even go 4S... with an appropriate prop tho :-)

I just received four of these motors and four props. Do I need something else to mount the props to the motors? Am I missing something?
 HANSASHIP 30 points
Hi Sam, These Motors if they come with what is called a "PROP - SAVER" will come with an O-Ring, which should hold the prop and centers by itself... (nice feature). In a crash landing, prop might be damaged, but as it is only hold by an O-Ring (=Rubber Band), O-Ring should give way and release Prop, Prop than disengages and land's still intact somewhere close to crashed plain... THAT's THEORY.... Sometimes it works, bu only if engine of aircraft was stopped prior crash. rgds, manfred
 helil 57 points
Yes you are missing prop adapter, you have 2 option #1 PRODUCT ID: GON-D3T6 or PRODUCT ID: GS0162M #2 PRODUCT ID: OR019-00501-3
 __bare 709 points
these motors come with ONLY what is in the photo. A prop adaptor needs to be bought separately. But Buying one from HK is iffy as often they are either Goofy or silly large. Best is to buy a motor that hasthe needed accessories included :-)

I need to know the ampere draw with 7035 GWS on 3s please???!??
 Wipo_Be 23 points
I tested this motor with a 7x4 prop on a 3s and got 8.8amp and 450gr thrust.

On reversing the shaft. How did you fit the e-clip back on the shaft? Is there another grove?
 HANSASHIP 30 points
Had the same problem: Best, You buy a replacement shaft like the Turnigy EasyMatch Park250 Series - Replacement Shaft, it's a little bit longer, but has the grove where You need it. What's too long can be cut after swapping (DON'T FORGET TO TAPE THE HOLES OF THE MOTOR WHILE CUTTING!) rgds, manfred

You can push the shaft out and turn it around, then re-install the "E" clip. We do this all the time with motors like these.

Thank you both. Great help. Happy flying.

how many mm are there betwenn moutingholes on this moter
 customer5 289 points
For the holes with the most distance it is *: 18mm. The other pair is 14mm across. By the way this motor uses 2 different size screws, bigger screws for the longer distance side and smaller screws for the shorter distance side. Hope this helps!

OK, but what is the size of the screws? I have motor, but didn't come with screws. I need longer distance screw size. Thanks.

Using 3s, what is the best prop to put on this motor in order to get at least 300g thrust? Using which esc?
 iflylilplanes 266 points
7030 or 7040 should get you there.
 customer5 289 points
I have a 7040 prop with 3S and it pumps out over 400g of thrust! Gives my 300g glider unlimited vertical! But it gets really hot so propping it down to 7030 should be more than adequate.
 adlers83 295 points
How many Ampere draw with the 7040?

Did anyone mount those props http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem
.asp?idProduct=11331
(8x4) to this motor? Shaft is too short for propsaver I have :(
 Kellyann 16223 points
_Ufir 10mm should be plenty for a prop saver!!!
 __Ufir 18 points
if I put the prop to the shaft - I can see only 1 mm of shaft
 customer5 289 points
Look around if you can find a longer 3mm shaft. The one provided is too short. That'll solve your prop saver issue. Otherwise you'll need some sort of a prop adapter collet to mount them.

Hi. Looking forward to put 4 of them into my Mini-Quad. Want to go with 3 Cells. Can somebody recommend a good prop size? BR

I bought one a couple months ago. Was in stock at that time.

Would be intersting to know the amp and rpm on that setup. Maybe it is on 1s?
Must be best motor ever made if it can take that on 2s without
 Ruslan 58 points
8x6 would fry this sucker even on 1 cell. Im guessing 4.5x4.5 would be reasonable for it

I am using a 2S setup on this motor which i have on a Dualsky Depron Foamie.

500Mah Nano-tech 2S/8x4APC SF/Mystery 12A ESC=

80W at 7.6Amp draw. Motor, batt and ESC is cool after 6 min flight
 elmuchacho 47 points
I run them on 3S with gws 5x3 3 blades on a mini quadcopter without any problem.

Can the shaft be reversed on this motor? Has anyone accomplished this?
 Jackrr 224 points
Yes, it can. I've done it, in my case it was easy to do (I've tried it with another motor from hk and it got bent because I applied to much force, while still beeing unable to deliver enough torque). You just need a normal 1,5mm hex screw driver, get rid of one screw and you can change direction - I flattened the shaft to get good grip. If the shaft doesn't come out easily, don't apply force, but try rinsing it with oil and be patient.
 clearskies 1 points
Set the motor housing in an automotive socket (slightly larger diameter), then press out the shaft using a penny. You can then grab the shaft end with a needle nosed pliers and pull it out the rest of the way.

I use it on my mini funtana 250g weigth and 80cm wingspan.
With 2S 800mA Zippy and GWS 8х*4 prop it takes about 350g thrust.
Also tried it with 7x5 APC prop - thrust in static is less, but the plane speed increased a little bit.

Good Motor.
pcDoc  59 points -
 
How much pull is the maximum on 2S with max. 8A? And with which prop? I´d like to use it in a 1,5m HLG.


 __bare 709 points
This is a small motor, I think it is too small for your demands
 Felipe 36 points
i think it gona be sweet cuz hlg usually are really light, about 300g when heavy!
so just try mate, really cheap, worth try!

Ill than stock motor of Piaget.
3S and 7-4prop make it heater.
Is it 1550KV?
FC28-05(1600KV) is much better than this.
I had tighten bolts,but Core turned left and disconnect cable,
If you would not want to burn your finger or fall your plane,should not buy.

Great motor for may Merlin-Multiplex, an economical option cheaper than 'oficial' motor and easy to install in the original mount.
