que pala necesita este motor
haluk  5 points - 3/1/2013
 
While you open the throttle in first time, could you meet a problem to resort to equivocations and click voice.
How you can solve it?

thank you for your quı*ck reply.

bonjour, ce moteur est il suffisant pour un planeur de 5,380 kilo ?

help I have a 1600 p51 dago with this engine and propellers 16x6x4 suitable for this model

Is this motor good for my HANGAR 9 HELLCAT with 6s 4000 40c and a 90-100 hobbyking esc and a 16x10 pac prop ?
 Holger 2 points
Hllo habe auch die Hellcat fliege mit einem Boost von Pichler 360kv 16x9 6s 70 esc bei Vollgas im stand max.52 amp.das reicht zu fliegen vö*llig.
messi  1 points - 11/29/2012
 
Please,can someone answer,which one battery (lipo) I need for 4-to 5 minutes of flight? or formula for calculation?
My aerobatic extra 330 l 58'', is 2600 g without battery and props is 14x7 and 15x7.I would like to know an average value,because I will fly with no max load.Thanks in advance.
 Holger 2 points
Lipo amp.teilen durch Motoramp. mal 60. Bsp. Du hast einen Lipo mit 4000maH=4.0A und einen Motor wo 50 a zieht dann teilst du 4.0:50=0,08x60=4,8min. 60=min Dann ziehst du noch 10% ab da du ja im stand deinen Motor gemessen hast O.K

I want to replace my 4260-500 on my EXT 300 I am running 1300 watts with a 16x8 prop on 6s can this motor handle the same setup at 60 amps? I hope someone can help
jason
 Gary 3001 points
According to motorcalc this setup will be nearer 65amps which will overheat the motor and esc,a 16 x 7 or a 15 x 9 will give virtually identical results.Just out of interest an 8s pack on a 13 x 8 would give over 1600 watts at 57amps.
 drdiscus 144 points
Motocalc is a starting point...empirecal results are better...the motor will pull more than 60 amps without overheating. All my Turnigy's have VERY conservative current limit in the specs. The 580kv version of this motor draws 90 amps for short periods, on 5 cell A-Spec with 15x8 apc-e, nearly 2000 watts. Rating is 1500 watts.
Fluffy11****get a few differnt props if you try this motor on 6 cell. 16 inch 15 inch and 14 inch

what diameter is the back of the motor where the prop adapter bolts on and bolt pattern please.
 Arakic 19 points
The diameter is 14mm, and bolt holes distances are 21mm, symmetrical.

Ive à* 4 kg 1m60 Yak 54. I would like to use 6S cell and be able to make 3D. I need something like 1200 W. And i don't want to use to many Amp (50/60 max), you think this motor is the good one ? Or which one would be fine ?? Thks for help !
 The Grand Wazoo 99 points
Hallo, well 1200 Watts can give you about 5 to 6 kg of thrust, I think. So it can work. But this motor has a low KV, rpm. You will have to use a 15 or even 16 inch propeller, to give you that power on 22 volts. So have a look at your landing gear and the space it offers.
JuanchoRC  51 points - 3/31/2012
 
Hello thank who help me. My question is this how do I know that motor serves to manufacture a plane myself or reference select, power, voltage? Thank you ..
 Richard 8 points
I have two of these motors flying a 21 pound p38. They are each turning a 16x10 three blade prop and delivering 16lbs of static thrust. Each motor is running on a five cell LIPO. I hope this helps.
 dannyp 4 points
Can you provide amp dram and wattage etc.. on your setup please?
Which propeller is the 16x10x3?
Thanks
 Great Vlad 7 points
Hello Richard.... What is your amp draw with that setup and which powerpack are you using.... thanks in advance
Hogwit  16 points - 3/25/2012
 
How many watts would this motor produce with a 3s lipo?
 Richard 8 points
The watts draw is not just reliant on the size battery but also the size and pitch of the prop.

is the motor mount plate on the l5055 400kv the same footprint as the old 5055 400kv
 Kellyann 16228 points
flatflyer yes once you get it correct why change

So one ends up -at last- with this motor and some smal rebate in one's cart... Yep.. I'd decided this motor to be the best for its task, and to buy this thing... So Payment time? Well totally NOPE!!! Wham... rebate motor gone out of cart! Gone rebate! What's new HK????
RC-Powerbus  8 points - 12/8/2011
 
Internal resistance 0,3 Ohm? According to eCalc.ch a dog of a motor... When 0,03 Ohm... should perform fractonaly better than the Skorpion S4020-16! That whould be good news! So can we trust the data we get? HK, please check and correct if needed.
 RC-Powerbus 8 points
I still have not had info on the correct internal resistance of this motor! www.link come?
 Arakic 19 points
Hm. If anything means to you I am getting 0.7ohm, but my instrument is under a question :)

What a torque monster... What size C.I equivilant would this replace?
 Serzhant 56 points
40 to .46 size glow engine.
 tim mackey 9 points
Errr, more like a .70 actually.
 justice 579 points
accually,it would be more like 55-60!
 lolzer 145 points
Soooo whats the consensus?
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
It is a 0.60 equivalent....but not really as it will spin a much larger prop at this kv.
 mikey3d 22 points
Finally a motor for the Sebart 50 class range. I will be using a 16x10 prop and a 100amp esc. Will reply with how it works out.
 mikey3d 22 points
Jason, there seems to be 2 different hardware packs show, which one do you get? I guess i'll find out in a few days...
 mikey3d 22 points
And to answer my own question you get the picture that is part of the first image and not the second image. Motor looks good, initial tests shows it is not getting hot pulling 65 amps on 6s.
 mikeisaid 1 points
im a rookie and still learning.
Im building an Air boat that weighs 3 pounds.
the max prop I can put on it is a 13" and I plan on running 4s lipo's is this motor enough?
 capoccioni 14 points
mikey3d what propeller you use to get 65A ? I've tried a 17x8 with 45A at WOT... I'think this motor is very low in kv near 360kv!!!

Well... shipment was very speedy! Thanks HK! Motor looks robust and realy neat. Weigt is 288 grams. Neat too! Large vents in the design will help to keep things nicely cool. Turnigy packaging is plain industrial blunt cardboard. Regard alu prop axles as prone to weaknesses, and have a heavier steel one to mount. All in package is okay. Spinnernuts can be use on a OS or Saito :-). When this motor does what HK/Turnigy promises? Than it is a winner! Will check magnets for glueing (but even AXI needs to be checked!). So 5* at first glance, without testing.

Tested the Motor and it's not really a replacement for the PRODUCT ID: TR50-55A-400. Its KV seems to be lower. The "old" 50-55A spins the same prop (15x8) to ~8200rpm (6s ~36A) and this motor does 7300 max (6s ~22A). (Don't remember the exact numbers, just tested to compare the two motors) So a bigger prop is needed to achieve the same thrust/power. Will do further tests with 16x8 on 6s. Can post the exact numbers if needed after that tests.

Have purchased 9 of these motors for a big octocopter. Unfortunately, the bearings get very hot if run at 12 k RPM. Likely needed to be replaced, but could not find replacement or high-quality bearings. Fixing screw for the shaft is too short and breaks winding inside aluminium piece at the front easily, fixing screw is only 3 mm and way too short, replaced all of them. Propeller holder for non-shaft side wobbles a lot. Could not find replacement shafts. Wondering if HK has better quality motors with same performance / KV.

Nice motor. Gets hot quickly when put at three quarter or full throttle, but extremely powerful
