I would say that a 6x4 is the most efficent of the 5-6 inch props, as thats when 5-6 inch props have a dramatic inrease in thrust, but I still dont think that you are going to get 700 grams of thrust unless you run a 4s setup. Hope this helps.

 Karl 201 points

and even then you are probably not going to get 700 plus grams, but its worth a shot if you have a 4s lying around.

Danny, the shaft on these motors is 3mm. The adapters you have may be a bit snug but should fit if they are 3mm. I've noticed that collet clamping adapters tend to be a little difficult to get on but do if you force them. Sorry I couldn't be any more help than that, Happy flying!

 XRAYAIR 218 points

7x5TE or 8x3.8SF is what we use with these.

 RonRC 2007 points

sunil, if you have a light enough airframe, you can go up as high as a 10x3.8 prop with this motor. But it it has to have a lot of power to lift, the 8x3.8 would be better and the 8x3.8 does seem to fly much much more stable on multirotors. This is using 3S batteries. Hope this helps and Happy flying!

 RonRC 2007 points

Woops! Sunil, I mistakenly gave the info for the 1200kv motor above and not the 1534kv motor. For this motor, if it is a light airframe, 8x3.8 props work great. but for a heavier load, 7x3.5 props would be better. Still again, the 8x3.8 tend to be more stable. Sorry for the confusion and I hope THIS helps.. ha ha!

 Sunil 5 points

Thanks Roanrc can you give me the product id of the props you use in the video because im not getting both cw and ccw props!for 8x3.8!

 RonRC 2007 points

You can use the GWS 8x4x3blade props just as well. The CCW are PRODUCT ID: GWPRO002S3D, and the CW are PRODUCT ID: GWPRR002S3D. Don't be too worried about how they are labeled because Multirotors perceive rotation from the top or front of the prop. Airplanes perceive from the back and that's why a reverse prop will appear as a CW rotating on a multi. Hope this helps and Happy flying!

will 8x4.5 also do?

 RonRC 2007 points

Sunil, The pitch speed (4.5) might be a bit too much. 8x4 is about as much as you should go with these motors. The spin pretty fast and can over heat even with the 8x3.8 when flying all out agressively. I suppose it all depends on what you are doing but I've not even tried 8x4.5.

 Sunil 5 points

my tri weighs 1kg so shall i go for 8x4??

 Sunil 5 points

Thanks Ron!

 RonRC 2007 points

Sunil, 1kg is a little heavy, but you should be fine.

I would like to give you the best answer credit but i can´*t do that because you started a new discussion...

 Karl 201 points

Even if you have a ubec, you still need an ESC to hook the motor up to. Most small esc's have a bec built in. Once you have your esc , hook up the three wires from the motor to the three wires on the ESC. If it is spinning backwards then switch any two wires. Also remember that you cannot have both bed and ubec.

 Heino 2 points

So there isnt a and a - wire? All the same ?? What about the signal...

 Karl 201 points

Not sure exactly what you mean by a and a-wire. but if you are talking about an a wire on the motor matching up with an a wire on the esc then there is no such thing with this motor. Plug the motor into the esc and see if it is spinning the right way, if not then switch either two of the three wires with each other. Hopefully this video will help as well.

the was missing... :D but the video was great... thx

 Karl 201 points

Sorry it didn't help as much as I thought it would.

My plus is brockn and sry for my bad englih... but my quadro is flyig :) thx for help...

 Karl 201 points

No problem. Thanks for the credit.

 aero45 10 points

Mistichoy, la potencia será* VxAmp, es decir 10,5 Amp.a 11 V (3s)= 116W, con 15V :10,5Ax15V= 157,5 W. Entendido?

 aero45 10 points

Mistichoy, La maxima potencia en este motor es de aproxmadamente 220-230 wats., que se alcanzan en 4 celdas y con hé*lice de 7x6. (14,8V x 15,5Amp) De todos modos hay que probar con watí*metro y que no se "tueste" el motor por exceso de amperaje Espero que esto te ayude.

 SABA 007 124 points

you can use with EDF. But higher KV motors are good choice for EDF.search hobbyking for EDF motor & you can find them.Dont forget to check whether the motor shaft fits correctly with EDF unt.enjoy flying.!!

 XRAYAIR 218 points

Yes, if it is a 3S or 4S. We use 3S and 4S 4000mah to 8000 mah with these all the time.

 sirgarfield 85 points

shore can , the motor will only draw the power it needs to work

 jerrykl720 1231 points

3mm shaft

 sirgarfield 85 points

or is it 3.0mm

 Karl 201 points

3mm and 3.0mm are the same thing

 sirgarfield 85 points

amazing duduction Karl go to the top of the class lol

 kaysee 9 points

it stated 3mm. but if you are planning to use the 3mm prop saver you might need to file the hole a bit.

 Lathalini 93 points

8x4 is a bit too much. Go for 7x4. All the other things are okay!

 jerrykl720 1231 points

I have this motor for long time (3yrs) and I have 6 of them! most of time I use 7x6 apc! and I also use a 3 blades 8x4 props on it and no problem!

 jerrykl720 1231 points

with 4s batt..

 XRAYAIR 218 points

I don't know. Our frames are all aluminum so there isn't as many heat issues. Should be ok...

 jerrykl720 1231 points

I used this motor for my quadcopter and twincopter quadcopter(x550) I use 8x4 and the twincopter I used 3blades 8x4 and I have no problem

Which make of transmitter do you have and which frequency does it use,is it 2.4ghz or one of the older type frequencies like 35/72mhz etc.

 XRAYAIR 218 points

Check the Alignment pin for the stator. Might be loose. Allowing the stator to wiggle. The pin runs vertically between the stator and the bearing housing. You can Epoxy or lok-tite it. Just let lok-tite dry for a few days before you try to fly. Epoxy:24 hours.

 XRAYAIR 218 points

I would check the motor base set screws. They come loose very easily, and the motor starts to wobble. I have had to epoxy every motor into the base with high temp, 3200psi, 24 hour set epoxy. Then I have to Lok-tite every set screw, including the one on the propeller shaft.

 Karl 201 points

I would do the same as the set screws do come out very easily. But is epoxy not flammable? I've never had it catch fire but I was just wondering out of curiosity.

 XRAYAIR 218 points

The high temp epoxy I use doesn't even soften until 240 celcius. I use it on engine intake manifolds and motorcycle crank cases. DO NOT USE 90 SECOND EPOXY...

 Karl 201 points

Cool to know and thanks for such a fast reply.

 XRAYAIR 218 points

The 3200 psi loktite brand is also non conductive.

 WinterDaze 45 points

I use from 2200 25C up to 3300 50-70C on 330 based quad, 20A Speedies, all with no problems.

 RonRC 2007 points

juan nicolas, I use 18A ESCs with these motors with 3S (11.1v) batteries. On the quad I had, I ran a 3000mAh 40C 3S battery for about 8 minutes of flight.

 RonRC 2007 points

Ooops! Sorry, I mistook this for the 1200kv. This is the 1534kv. Still use the 18A ESCs and 3S batteries but smaller props. I have 8x3.8 props on my wood tricopter. It is very fast and does some great aerobatics.

 Sunil 5 points

Roan can you specify the product id of your props? thanks

 XRAYAIR 218 points

The hole diameter is 3mm. The hole centers are 22mm apart.

 RonRC 2007 points

praneeth, Because these are such inexpensive motors, I would just purchase another and use the older one for spare parts. These are excellent motors for the price! I use them on almost all my multirotors.

 praneeth 9 points

thanks for your help

 XRAYAIR 218 points

I would use an 8x3.8SF or a 7x5 Thin Electric. You'll have plenty of power and throttle range.

 bdaz76 2 points

would carbon 8x4.5 be to big?? or the 7x4.5 3blade..

 Karl 201 points

At that weight you should be fine. I started the same way by making a foamie and using this motor. Since then I have moved on to faster and bigger planes. One thing that I was always told by the people at the local hobby shop was "don't worry about speed". I never liked to hear it but they were right. Your electronics setup seems to look just fine. One thing to always keep in mind (which you did already, planned or not!)is to get a speed controller that can handle a little more than what your motor is rated for. (ex: motor is rated for 18amps, then use a 20 amp speed controller). Just a general rule of thumb. Always glad to see people coming into the hobby. Its hard at first but gets much easier. If you ever have just general questions (or feel like showing off your creations) join RCgroups and post them there. I joined a little while ago and love it. Would love to know how everything turns out. Good luck and happy flying!

 Karl 201 points

Got off on a tangent and forgot to go back to it but what I was trying to say is don't worry about speed at the start. Speed is not your friend when starting although we all wanted it to be. This motor should suit your plane just fine.

 Karl 201 points

First off thanks for the credit. Here are the connectors that you need for your esc to work with your battery PRODUCT ID: AM-1024Bx10. I would spend the extra money and get the HXT900 servos because they seem a little more resilient than the TG9e servos but that's your call. Quite a light plane for this motor as this thing is pretty weighty for your 100g airframe, but once again' that's your call. Did you get the kit from Hobbyking as maybe there is a better motor of choice for that plane. Not a 3d pilot and have never tried it but can't see why this motor wouldn't work with the right sized plane. Let me know about the kit you have as there might be a better motor to use. Thanks again for the credit.

 Karl 201 points

Saba noticed your name on the discussion question about using this in an edf, and it reminded me of this post. I was just wondering how your scratch built plane faired. As always happy flying.

 Karl 201 points

Yes you need a set of bullet connectors to connect this to your esc. You also need a battery connector from your esc to your battery. Here are the bullet connectors that I use with this motor (they work great) PRODUCT ID: AM1001A. What battery do you plan on using with this motor and speed controller as I would be happy to help you find the right connector for that as well. Also pick up a thing of 5mm heat shrink ( PRODUCT ID: WH-5MM-BLACK ) to cover your bullet connections once done soldering them all up. Hope you enjoy the hobby.

Thanks mikie, if you have the video for f-35 v2 using this motor, I realy like to see :) Thanks agan

 XRAYAIR 218 points

Turnigy plush 12amp or equivalent.

 Christian 1 points

Recently flew this motor with a Plush 12A and a 7x6 prop mounted to a 550gram foam copy of the Idol Balsa. It went vertical on 2/3 throttle.

 Karl 201 points

I am using mine with a hobbyking red brick 20A. I think that its safer to have an esc that can handle a little more amp draw than the motor is rated for, but that's just me.

 Christian 1 points

Agreed Karl. But since temperatures here in Sweden are around -5C, it felt safe.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

hi Tomas,depends on prop used.to get general info look at reveiws of this motor (static tests)max amps/prop ratios that users have given.Karl is correct as this is a rule of thumb and many agree.example- unless you have a separate lipo running rx/servos/voltage reg etc, if you burn the esc thats also powering your rx/servos during flight say goodbye to your plane (no control to aleast glide home)goodluck

 XRAYAIR 218 points

An EP1080 is too big for this motor if you are putting it on a multi-copter. Use 7x5 or 8x3.8 to keep from burning it up with too much rotational drag.

 kok yong 5 points

Im now using 2s ep9070. Seen ok. Never try ep1080

 XRAYAIR 218 points

Yes. Either a 3mm Collette type, or a 2 screw prop saver type.

 Karl 201 points

THe speed controller shouldn't be an issue as it only delivers as many amps as the motor needs. I think that you have blackened the coils because you are drawing to many amps from the motor. If you have an amp reader measure how many amps you are drawing. My best guess it that you have to large of a prop on this guy. I feel heat on mine when running a 6x4 prop on a 3s, but because it is only a 3s it does not get hot.

 DAJARAJA 305 points

just to add to Karl,ive been running 7x4 and 7x5 slow/f props /20amp esc 1000/1300 3s lipos without problems to motors.

 Karl 201 points

Me as well and at most the motor is a little warm.
