Speed pleasssssssse!
I use this motor on a small Zagy wing and my problem is that the speed of the wing is about 50km/h(31mph).
The wing should be faster than 100km/h(60mph)!!!
I cannot find the problem...
My configuration:
weight: 427 g
wing span: 1 meter(40 inch)
propeller tested: 5x5 and 6x4
Battery: 3S 11.1V
ESC Turnigy 40A (timing tested: medium then fast)
Thank you for your answers.
I would expect more than 30 odd MPH even with a 5x5 prop. Are you putting the props on the right way round? Any lettering/numbering should face forwards ...
Ok i will try a larger prop like 6x5.
Yes, my prop is on the right way round.
yes, I have calibrated the throttle.
I don't understand. Unfortunately I don't have an amperemeter to check current and power.
Thx for your responses. Have good flights!
Geneviè*ve, i had the same problem, it's a manufacturing failure. I reported it to HK support team and they sent me back the motor's price in credits, in three days.
I had "low thrust" problems like some others recently. The motor works but produces only approx 30% of its power on full throttle and the rpm is far from the advertised 2200kv.
got this for my bixler 2. 7x5prop, 2200 3S. watt meter shows only 9amp draw WOT. turnigy dlux 30/40 ESC. dlux programming box shows 22k rpm *6poles. tried stock ESC and prop, several diff 3S batteries on it and get same thing. what's wrong here?
Is the TX setup so you have 100% travel on the throttle channel? Have you calibrated the throttle range with the ESC? Search for "ESC Throttle Range Calibration HW25A" on youtube for an excellent video on this. HTH
Glen, i had the same problem, it's manufacturing failure. I reported it to HK support team and they sent me back the motor's price in credits, in three days.
I can confirm there are some bad ones in the bunch. I received one and not matter what I do it will slowly turn a 5x5. and yes my throttle was calibrated and I test with many different ESC's.
thanks for the responses... I submitted a ticket yesterday, still havent heard anything back...sloooow. Have FPV ready but afraid stock motor not enough. US WH out-of-stock and flying season will be over before I get a replacement from HK WH.
Check the 'timing' on your ESC and change it to another setting. If it has settings that can be changed, they will be high, medium or low. What ESC do you have?
Yeah could well be the timing. Red brick 50A is set to 2-4 pole inrunner motors as standard. You need to reset to 6-8 pole motor - 7degrees. Check the manual that came with your ESC for details on how to do it. Should be fine to run then.
try at the highest timing. If it still does the same, check the solder on all the connectors to the battery and ESC and between motor and ESC. Occasionally a 'dry' joint can cause such problems.
Mathew did u got your motor working now ? Cause im having the exactly the same problem with this motor. It works perfectly with 2S but with 3S it start to vibrate at 50% throttle and making strange cracking noice. Pls help. Thanks !
Not a safe option as this little beauty can draw way more. If however you are 100% certain you wont ever draw 30A continuous, you 'could' use it. Not recommended though in reality.
I'm using a Hobbyking 50A ESC with it and it works perfectly. Product ID is 9261000004 . Running it from 3s 2200mah 35c packs. Theres a 4A switching BEC in it.
hey guys
I got this motor and want to put into my dynam cessena 182 to fly with since I crashed the original detrum bm2815A1 -Kv1100 motor, the motor use 30A, when I put this motor on and using the original prop (3 blade, 9x6) the cell meter beeping and light up, guess the 30 Amp esc is too low for this motor according the spec, it requires 40amp esc.
if I want to use this motor, should I change the prop and upgrade the esc to 40 amp? what prop should I use? what's the different of performance? or else there hv other choice since compare the shaft diameter of detrum and turnigy , detrum is very weak.
This motor will smoke that 30amp ESC at high speeds, especially if your prop is too big. For this motor, a 40 amp ESC and a 7x4 prop would probably fly pretty well. The difference in your original motor and this motor are numerous, but performance wise it is about torque. This motor has far less torque than an 1100Kv motor, and will require smaller props. Why don't you just find a comparable 1100Kv motor, so you can run the bigger props your plane needs?
Good morning, three-bladed propellers propellers are less efficient, but are more stable especially for landing. The difference between 5x5 and 5x3 are the propeller 5x5 cause increased thrust and effort of the engine and propeller 5x3 runs faster.

This motor can pull up to 34amps, I suggest you buy the $6 amp meter hobbyking sells and check the current draw of the propellers, I'm running a 7x6 propeller on this motor with no problems, I think your 5" propellers may be too small, an amp meter would let you know what your pulling with those little props.
Humberto os terminais que já* estã*o soldados ao motor é* de 3.5mm. Basta você* comprar os conectores fê*meas para o esc e bons vô*os.
Humberto the terminals that are already soldered to the motor is 3.5mm. You just buy the female connectors for the esc and good flights
Hello someone could help me, I'm on a project of a quadcoptero. I have 4 engines (D2826-6 2200KV) and 4 ESC (Turnigy Multistar 45 Amp) and 4 batteries (ZIPPY Flightmax 1500mAh 3S1P 20C). The idea is that every engine has its own battery.
My question is. What blades fit this setup? someone suggested (Three Blade Propeller 5030), Thanks
5x5 should be fine , if you go 3 blades 5x3 sound solid .. depends how far are you willing to take it , some pps use 6x4 and even 7x4 .. but you risk overheating.
This is an outrunner - anything you are thinking of putting on it would have to be perfectly balanced or there will be earthquake proportioned vibrations ...
About right for a 6x4 prop. Nice little cool running motor at that level. It will however work very well with 7x4 props but pulls more Amps. I have got one running on a 4S setup with a 5x5 prop and it is actually awesome! Small bursts mind you!
With a 6x4 prop your pulling 25amps means the motor is running at 2/3rds power or around 250watts, it's capable of 340watts so you could easily get more power by increasing the size of the prop or the bite on the prop. for a bixler type plane 6x4 is ideal in my opinion, the motor should last forever with a 6x4!
Na aplicaç*ã*o de um motor de 2200kv e um helice 6x4 pusher, no caso de um mig-29 o esc sugerido por site de aeromodelo foi de 50amp, mesmo sugerindo que um de 40 seria suficiente.
You could - but only if you are CERTAIN it will never draw more Amps. As a rule of thumb Ben, go for a controller with a overhead of 20% to 25% for safety. I certainly would not run this on a 30Amp as it can easily draw more. I use a minimum of a 40A with mine but that is in a system where I know the maximum it will draw is 27Amps. One setup I have - and it is marginal for the motor - I run it with a 50A controller, and only then for short bursts of up to 43Amps. I also always check systems with a Watt/Amp meter to ensure I am getting the figures right so as not to cook anything.
I'm using turnigy plush 30A and it works well. ESC is warm but not hot. I'm using 6x4 prop and in my opinion this is the best size of prop for that motor.
Hi, ESC depends on propeller. For example for prop 6x4 i'm using Turnigy Plush 30A (PRODUCT ID: TR_P30A). If you want to use bigger prop, for example 7x4, I will buy at least 40A (PRODUCT ID: TR_P40A). Turnigy plush is a good quality ESC for good price.
It calls for a 40A ESC and it's always better to have an ESC that is above the recommendation, as you'll find it runs a little cooler and more efficiently. Jakub's response is close to the mark, but I'd highly recommend going for the Turnigy Plush 50A ESC.
50A? Yeah sure, if you have too much money you can buy also 100A and it will work perfectly. If you are using standard props, 40A is enough. Many of us use 6x4 prop with (good quality) 30A ESC without any problems. I have two planes which fly on above configuration and everything is ok, even in full throttle case. ESC after fly is warm but not hot! The difference between Turnigy Plush 30A and 40A is ~8$ and that is my reason. Furthermore, Turnigy plush 30A has burst current equal to 40A. Believe me... You will not burn ESC with standard propeller...
Using an ESC that is way overated is not a good idea as it will not be running efficiently. So a 100A ESC is not a good idea for say a 40A system. Aim to have a 20-25% overhead for any given maximum system Amperage draw.
I will use the motor with my 7x5E propeller that comes with the Bixler2,then it looks like that an 40A esc(or even 50A) could go fine,but for what I can see I could go with my Turnigy 30A esc and buy a 6x4 propeller.According to that better 40A 7x5 propor 30A 6x4 prop?
Jakub, I don't recall saying a thing about using a 100A ESC on a motor that recommends a 40A. Recommended ESC is a 40A. As WTWUK mentioned, go for a 20-25% buffer zone. 20-25% on that would be 8-10A headroom, so you'd use a 50A ESC.
Normalmente na descriç*ã*o do motor ha sugestao de helice e esc adequados ao mesmo, alguns colegas aermodelistas adotam um esc com um pouco mais de capacidade em relaç*ã*o a sugerida, exemplo sugestã*o de esc de 30 usam um de esc de 40.
Please confirm us if is posible to pay any order by Western Union pay to the order of Hobbyking,we hope receive your comments to our e-mail galeas.galo*yahoo**** Thnk you
Hi. I'm not sure if this is good idea to use this motor with EDF system. It has classic motor mount - not dedicated for EDF. What's more, it is to slow (only 2200kv). Some time ago i tried to use this motor with 4s battery and small prop. Unfortunately this configuration was inefficient and motor was really hot, however motor span much faster.
This motor will fit into relevant sized EDF shrouds as they use the same hole pattern ... So no issue there. As for the speeds, depending on the rotor diameter, blade count and pitch, again, several EDF units would be suitable. However, as nokianvidia has not given the intended use, can't say what one. I also run this motor on 4S with a 5x5 prop and agree, it is hotter than on 3S, but not unduly so.
Thanks a lot for your replay BTW I am planning to use in my scratch built F22 raptor, 24" WS , It is little scale down version of original Built 32" WS
In that case this motor will be of zero use. If you are looking at maybe a fan unit of even 60mm, you need to be looking at a MUCH higher KV motor. What size fan are you thinking of?
If 6x4 prop is to large for your plane, you can try to use 5x5 prop. Unfortunately 5x5 prop is less efficient than 6x4. However for my mig-15 is enought to fly. The big pluses of this solution is longer flight. I've also tried to use 3x5x4.5 prop but it explode during flight on full throttle. Plane was faster but 2200kv is too much for three bladed prop...
The maximum thrust of this motor will depend on what battery you use, the ESC you use and most important the propeller you use, there are lots of combinations, I use a 7x6 apc prop and I pull 34.5 amps with it, around 360watts, by my watt/amp meter, I don't hold WOT too long and for me it's a brilliant motor, there's people trying to use smaller propellers on this motor but they do not get the full power from them,....The difference between a 1400kv motor and a 2200kv motor is the speed the shaft of the motor will turn, for an example if you supply in theory 10volts to a 2200kv motor 10volts X 2200kv = 22000RPM or 10volts X 1400kv = 14000rpm, you can normally put bigger propellers on lower KV motors, I recommend using an amp meter when setting up your propeller size, hobbyking sell one for about $6, it's all you need to see the current your drawing and then the Ideal prop can be fitted, as for the cost who knows how HK work it out...hope this helped you valdinei.
That's the one I was talking about Janni, I've tested it against my 100amp meter and as long as it's the only amp meter on at the time (I tried 2 at once to check accuracy) it gives an accurate reading, these meters all of them are approximations only, they're better than nothing, I would recommend the Cheap one to anyone who has nothing, it will still give an reading better than NONE!!
i use this motor with 3s 2200mAh 20C 40/50 ESC hobbyking and 7*35GWS DD, very fast motor, a bit hot but this motor is good

1 thumbs up!
Fantastic, Wonderfull, Great. This motor is a SUPER bargin for the money.This motor can really take 342W. My data. Prop V Amp Watt r/min 7x4 12 29 348 16000
Very well made and a powerful brushless motor. Comes with a 3.5 mm connector is soldered of gold , as well as with the engine mount and prop adapter. I'll use it to 1000mm wingspan plane EPP in combination with 2S lipo pack and EP 7x4 orange prop. This installation supplies about 18A or 130 watts ... very cheap. I recommend it!
It has Turnigy label, but looks the same as DYS, which I think is the manufacturer.
Came wtih 3,5mm gold connectors already soldered (not very well) and also with motor mount & prop adaptor.
My firend will use it on his beginner`s 1000mm wingspan epp plane in combination with 2S lipo pack and orange ep 7x4 prop. That setup gives around 18A or 130W...
