Here it is! The DIY kit of the popular 2730 motor. Wind for Kvs from 900 to 6000rpm/v Wire Guage: .44mm Weight of motor cannot be determined as it comes with extra wire, shrink wrap etc.
11 Turns Y config 8 magnets for 1700kv 14 Turns Y config 8 magnets for 1300kv
Experiment with turns and magnets to make your own performance motor. Getting the wire tighter and neater than any factory would care to offer, will enable you to squeeze maximum power from this already stunning motor!
Excellent for small foamies especially GWS pico planes.
That comes to about 25 gauge wire according to the chart I found. Radio Shack sells rolls of 22, 26, and 30 gauge wire so you can use these skills and rebuild your other burnt up motors after learning from this. At least that is my plan.
I just rewound my 2730 with 24 awg. Its a lot thicker than stock. I would bet stock is up near 28-30. I got 8 turns pretty easily and the motor frigging rips now. I can get vertical climb out of my Bonsai wing from hobbyking
I guess if i were in jail with 20 years to kill this might seem an intersting project, however...Seriously though, I salute you people who can get your heads around this stuff. well done HK for trying these they are obviously populare.
Winding a motor is actually easy and satisfying ! You have many options when doing this and when you are finished, you will swear that it is a better motor than any factory one.. I know ! Ive been doing it for a couple of weeks now and it depends where you get your parts for the cost. It is totally worth a try...

It's a great kit, but you will have to deal with a few things. First, the bearings will fit loosely in the tube and you'll need to use some loctite or other adhesive to set them (or get some rattling). Second, there may be flash from the holes drilled in the "can" and it should be removed before assembly or the windings might rub and short. Also, it's best to get rid of the gluey goop that will stick to the parts from the double-sticky card they come on. Rubbing alcohol works fine and is harmless to the components.

I choose this as my first build kit. The quality of the components was excellent. I wound a 13T dLRK using advice from rcgroups. My motor is running great. No vibration, everything is straight and true. Plus you get the little motor mount. Love it!!! Plan on buying some more. PS: Mine came with enough wire to wind at least two motors. Highly recommend.

Assembly Kit very well finish but they lack instructions of the winding of the motor since it is it but important.

I've only done one, but the parts fit together well and the result (14T stock wire dLRK) was great about the same power as the 1300 Standard version but with less noise and better throttle control. The bell and stator both had to be pressed on and it's a little tricky (not very if you have a drill press). The shaft was also press-fit into the bell, but very easy and true.
Better quality than any other kit I've seen in this size.
