Recommended Motors

 

All:

 

I have seen some info scattered around in various post but decided to post here so that a consolidated response from folks can be easily discovered.

 

Given that the motors at the store our typically out of stock, what motors have folks been using with good success. Granted this can depend on many factors so if you post your motor config, approx quad/hex/octo weight, prop size, and battery size and run time that would be helpful.

 

I look forward to your responses.

 

Thanks,

GH

ESC: Turnigy Plush 25 A
Motor: RCTimer BC2836-11
Prop: Graupner 11x5 Elektro-Prop
Battery: Zippy Flightmax 5000 mAh 15 4s

Measurements: aeroquad.com

 

My hexa prototype weighs 1.6 kg with one battery and 2.1 kg with two. With one battery it can hover for 22 minutes, with two it's a couple seconds short of 30 minutes. Forward flight time average at half these figures.

Hi Gary,

try having a search around for A2830-12, thats the model of the "stock" motor and seems to be available in quite a few places. It's unlikely to come with the nice long wires, but then again no nasty bullets either.

Hi Gary,

For my quad I'm using four "hacker Style Brushless Outrunner 20-28M" from HobbyKing (see here). I'm using 9" 3 bladed props. It weighs about 1.6kg all up and is pretty nimble. Not sure how long the battery lasts though as I haven't yet flown it to exhaustion

I use the Roxxy 2827-34 with APC 10".

 

I get about 25min out of a 35C 2800mAh with a copter of about 1,4kg.
