motor

Firstly, yes a newbie doing my first build. Hexcopter (X) KK2.1.5 FC SimonK 30A ESC 920 KV motors Spektrum DX6i F550 frame So everything is hooked up and just getting ready to mount my props (which are now balanced). But when I go from throttle 0 to throttle X. Six of the motors (m3-m6) all...

So I ordered my Power Pack A tonight. My 3S 800 mah LiPo arrived. The urge hits. I pull a motor and esc from the junk bin. Solder it up. Plug it in (ch 1 just like on the video). Beep beep beep beep won't arm. Then it hits me in the video they always hook up Spektrum or Graupner (motor on...

Thinking of building an electric foam board twin motor plane and maybe quad one day How do you determine when to have motors spinning in the same direction or opposite direction? Is it just a general rule to have twins rotate opposite?

So what is so different between a motor for a plane and a quadcopter? For example a 1000kv motor for a plane vs a 1000kv motor for a quadcopter. Also it would be very helpful if you can recommend me 4 good motors for a quadcopter. Around 1000kv preferably not below 1000. Also Is a 4s battery...

What direction do you recommend setting your motors on the Dragonfly? Front two turning toward each other? what about the two next to them pointing down? and the rear? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have just built my first multirotor using an electrohub frame - it's set up as a "Y6". I am using an Eagletree Vector flight controller and the configuration software indicates that the top three motors should spin counter-clockwise and the bottom three motors should spin...

Hey alright so I have a Bixler 2. Total weight with GoPro, battery, ESC, and servos (without motor) is about 31oz. I was wondering what motor/prop combination I should use. I already have an E-Flite Park 480 and a Suppo Motor from Grayson Hobby (link...

Hi, I'm new to FliteTest forums, I joined regarding my X5C-1. So today I noticed I am having to push the throttle far too much just to get it about 6 feet off the ground, today I ALSO noticed that my stock 500 MAH battery took very long to charge. So my question is, does battery strenght have...

Hi guys, So I have been flying my Nighthawk Pro 280 (ARF) pretty hard recently and I had a crashed which has wiped out my motor which I had ordered and now arrived. My only question is what is the connection for connecting my motor to the ESC/PDB? It looks like a plug with three pins and where...

I was given this amazing 4 channel glider. It resembles the style of an E-flite Ascent, but it is smaller. I am hoping that one of you are able to tell me what type of plane it is. Let me know. Also if any of you have a manual or anything that would be great.

Someone from a dutch forum ask me if i could make 10 degree tilted motormounts for a mini racing quadcopter. After doing some research i found a good way to do this. The mounts are made from hard PVC so they are much stronger than the 3D printed mounts and they fit 22 size motors. If anyone is...

So I'm nearing the completion of the FT Storch build (applause...) So, I was testing my electronics and I nearly killed my Leopard Hobby LC2826-12T 1380kv with a 9x6 prop. Got it all the way up to 25A (max for motor is 18) and I smelled something so I shutdown immediately. Seems like I saved...

Attached i have two pictures of my damaged motor. It was damaged in a crash where my quadcopter lost power for some reason whilst hovering at about 40m up. Landed on concrete and all the other motors have some scratches but still work. However this one seems to be jammed or something. As you...

Hello Flitetest Forum Members, as I am a total NOOB to scratch building, I have come across a problem in my first build(mini guinea). One of my motors starts to jitter every now and then, and then takes about a good 10 seconds to correct itself. I have checked to make sure it is not the esc, the...

I rescently just stated to get into RC flight. I built the FT storch with the following set up: Turnigy D2836/8 1100KV Brushless Outrunner Motor Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack SF E-Prop 10x4.7 / 254x119.5mm w/ Adapters Black Turnigy TGY-i6 AFHDS Transmitter and 6CH Receiver (Mode 2) Hobbyking...

Hey everyone, I have asked questions like this before, but I am still not quite certain about what I should get. I want a hobbyking motor for my Bloody Baron that I will be able to use on the Guinea Pig (together with a second one) later on. The NTM 28-26A 1200kv seems to be just a little...

Hi Guys New to this forum and love RC i have raced alot of cars over the years and want to take to the skys :) I have been watching the channel for the last few months (like 6 months) and after watching the quadcopter vs tricopter review and some tricopter reviews decided this was the way i...

Hey guys, I built the Old Speedster this week, and it weighs about 500g, while the FT plans say it should be 350g (without battery). This might be because I don't use dollartree foamboard, but that aside, the speedster feels a little underpowered. I use the Turnigy Park300 1380kv from my Flyer...

I'm a new in this field. I had found this store (www.icstation.com) via google search. Their price is really great, but not sure about the quality. Anyone has shopped on their store? Thanks!

Hi all, First sorry if I am in the wrong forum. I'll admit it. I'm a noob. I have tried a few FT planes with no success. I tried designing my own plane... It was a flop. Now I am hoping that I can get some help as to which plane to attempt next. And if possible I would like to use some of my...
