Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 2830-1020kv Brushless Outrunner Motor
Turnigy SK3 Motors are the next leap forward in motor quality and design. We instructed the engineers to source the best quality magnets, bearings and materials available to them and develop a motor that would not only rival, but surpass the quality of many leading motor manufactures on the market today.
The result is an efficient, high caliber motor using quality double shielded bearings, sintered Neodymium magnets and a string wound stator ensuring an accurate and consistent winding each and every time.
The Turnigy SK3 motors are suited to modelers who are seeking a quality brushless motor without compromise.
No,320w is incorrect,to achieve this you would need to fit a 13x5 prop,this will then achieve 319w but the amps will be way over the limit at 31amps and the case temp will go up to 97 degrees C,this will burn the motor out.Max watts at a push would be 195w,this is with a 10x5,pulling 18.5amps and the motor temp will be more realistic at 51 degrees C.

Would this motor be sufficient for GWS HD9050 (9x5) 3-blade prop? Want to use it in my re-configured CL-415 with water drop system.
Originally i had GF 2210/30 motor with GWS HD8040 3-blades, but now i need approx. 400grams more thrust.
Just barely w/3S. eCalc predicts 16A, 941g thrust. The power in is at/near the max of 168W. I'd use it knowing that you are asking the motor to perform at/near the maximum, if you believe eCalc. I have a plane I thinking of using it with the same GWS 9-5x3 prop too.
Thanks man for the suggestion!
I think I try these - I will have twin configuration on a rather slow cl-415 canadair, so max. power will only be utilized in emergency case. On 1.2kg empty / 1.7kg with full water drop, the plane with two of these should have enough of thrust even at 50% throttle for taking off.
Why does the shaft seem to be extended out of the rear where the motor mount should be? Can I make it extend out the other side and put a prop saver on it?? If so is there a tutorial?
I am using these motors on the SK450 frame with the dead cat spread... any suggestions for a prop? I am feeding the motors with a 25Amp Turnigy Plush ESC and want to Video cam or eventually FPV from this Copter platform.
Thanks!
10x4.7 or 9x6 props will be good, gives you around 1000 gr. of thrust as i read from other reviews.
its mount screws are 16mm and 19mm apart, so this is the standard in sk450 frame.
i'm building a similar frame using these motors too
hi im wanting to know if this ok for the hk 650 skorpion i seen someone with similar looking motors running 2 props 1 either end im hoping to use just 3 motors instead of 6 thx 4 any infos
Yes, you can use 3 motors but with need to find a way to make the rear motor tilt side to side with a servo so that you have rudder control (turn left/right). It's much easier to use the six motors or just use a Tricopter Y3 frame that already has a tilting mechanism on the rear arm. You can also consider 4 motors and do a Y4 with the scorpion but you will have to find a way to mount the fourth motor upside down beneath the rear upright motor. Good luck
Can someone please give the dimensions of the 3 bolt prop adapter this motor comes with. Need the distance from hole to hole and the center hole width and depth. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Im looking for an alternative adapter for the NTM 28xx motors that are never in stock
you can buy the TURNIGY Basic 25A v3.1 Speed Controller. It depands what kind of plane you have if 3D or not. for a 3d you need more or less a 300W for 1.0 kg. This engine has 168 W max. so it's the under liit for a 0.5kg 3D plane. for a normal plane its mor then enougth.
The mad one it is only reated for Voltage: 2~3S Lipoly. And at only 18A a 4s would not be the best idea. It is funny but a 4s may even reduce the over all power> I hope this helps
Keep well away from 4 cell power packs with this motor. I would recommend the 3 cell approach with this one. A handy motor that will perform nicely if you keep your flying weights as low as you are able.
Windsor props- i have a 0740 -prop-also another # 1810 on prop. Measured and 7" came up on ruler and my guess is 4 pitch. I tried it on 2S and was slow as it reads 1020kv on motor label. Thanks for info on this, appreciated!!!

will try mine with sf 10x4.7. wish they would list the props to go with the motor. i guess you need to test yourself to keep cost down. will post reviews.
I have used 11X3.8, 10X4.7, and 9X6...all with great success and depending on what type of flying you will do. The motor handles all of them with no problems.

Just got this motor, and it is well packaged and the finish looks top shelf. How well does it work? We will find out later this week when I time to test it. So far an overall rating of 3 stars. After we get some stats, the rating will change.

Using the props I had on hand and the following parameters: 10 seconds @ WOT using a 1300 3s Zipper (fully charged before each test):
GWS 9x5 18 amps 180 watts: ESC a little warm, motor too hot touch GWS 8x4 14 amps 156 watts: ESC barely warm, motor a little warm
Very good motor. Would definitely buy this brand again.
Very nice motor, no vibration used it as it is from stock. Installed with 2cell into a electric glider as replacement for damaged C2030.

Compared head to head against a hyp zs2213-18. Both is the same plane, both motors new, new balanced gws hd10x6 props, cc25 escs. Lipos, used the same g3 850mah 3S. Plane with hyp is 20g heavier due to being two yrs old and has some extra glue. Information was gained over four flights on each motor using same lipos.
Performance: The hyp is definitely stronger, could be the slight difference in kv. If I hadnt been familiar with the power of the hyp, the sk3 would still put a smile on my face. After the four flights the sk3 was 51deg on the windings and lipos were slightly but noticeably warmer, hyp was 43deg. Performance 4 stars .
Quality: Sk3 is every good as the hyp. The balance was perfect and the soft wires are a bonus. Sturdy construction and well made usable accessories. Quality 5 stars
Value is outstanding.
I will buy the 1100kv model and see how that goes. I am used to the crazy power of the hyp

quality is seen unboxing this product. and now to test the quality of this motor. i used this motor with a 10x4.7 sf prop, 1000 3s 30c lipo, and 30 amp esc. unlike other turnigy motors that wine, this motor is quiet. the motor gets warm if flown aggressive, but it's normal. i have abundant power on tap to fly my slow stick how i want. sk3 motors are reasonably priced, yet quality built for uncompromising performance. i am so happy with this purchase.
