motor

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...

I recently finished my FT Spitfire, but ordered the wrong motor (small, 29 gram Hextronic). The plane flew, but had awful aileron authority, probably due to the low airspeed. I ordered the larger motor, (http://tinyurl.com/ozmops4) an NTM Prop Drive Series but could not find any clear...

I've nearly completed my FT Guinea (the full size, not the mini). I have two Suppo 1250kv's I'm planning on using as they are already in my swappable pods (http://www.altitudehobbies.com/a-series-motors/suppo-2217-7-1250kv-brushless-motor-park-425-equiv). I was going to run 9x4.7 APC Slow Fly...

Hey guys, about a month ago my electrohub had a horrible crash where one of the props broke in mid air causing my quad to faceplant into the ground, lucky for me the only real damaged part were the wooden arms and a few props. now that I rebuilt it, the 8" props that I use look to small compared...

Just built my second FT plane, the Mustang. I love it. Thanks FT guys! I do want to get a bit more speed. Presently I'm running a Suppo 2217/7 1250KV, Suppo 30Amp esc and a 9 x 4.7 prop. I'm considering changing it to a Suppo 2217/6 1500KV (...

Hello people of the internet, I am in need of a little bit of help, (feel free to skip intro) Let me explain my problem and hopefully someone with lot more knowledge than myself will be able to help me out or show me a way. So I bought the multi-rotor a while back but had to wait for the...

Im new to the hobby and am building a new plane, just a stock teksumo. I got a 30 amp plush esc, a neewer tx/rx a 2200 mah 3s lipo, 2 9g servos and am pondering a motor suitable for the setup considering the 30 amp esc. Any reccomendations? I also want some build tips regarding electronic...

Hey Guys! I know you guys did an episode on choosing props, and did a power test set-up. But I'm still new to electric power, and am getting confused by all the numbers on motors, which don't seem to translate from one manufacturer to another (Not all companies list what a 370 or 425...

I really liked the idea of the high mount motor used by trainers like the Crash Test Hobbies Albatross. So I put one on a Tiny Trainer with glider nose. pointed slightly to the left. It balanced out ok on the plan CG with the battery and electronics as far forwards as possible. Will it...

I'm having some difficulty selecting a prop for my current FTSpitfire FPV setup. I have been running multiple Suppo BL-2217/7 motor/APS 6x5SF prop combos from Altitude Hobbies recommended specifically for the Flite Test swappable aircraft quite happily on various FTSpitfires and FTMustangs for...

Hello! I am trying to set up my Mini MWC Flight Control Board (from HobbyKing). I use the firmware Multiwii 2.4 from site https://code.google.com/p/multiwii/. When I plug the battery, only one motor rotates - that one that is connected to the port D3. How can I make all motors rotate? Could...

Hello there, A friend of mine recently got his first plane: the Delta Ray. We fly together whenever we can, but a few days ago something weird happened. After a regular landing, my friend picked up his plane, and when he turned on his transmitter (he had turned it off after he landed), 1 motor...

They look the same to me http://www.readytoflyquads.com/rtf-mini-motor-x2204-2300kv http://www.multirotorsuperstore.com/motors/airbot-titan-2204-2300kv-brushless-motor.html Also the single piece of thrust data RTFQuads gives "490g of thrust with HQ 5x4 at 10.5A / 130W" seems to match what the...

Hey everyone, tl;dr 1. Lost radio signal, plane crashed, servos jittering uncontrollably, ESC very hot. Did my ESC overheat and shut off, taking the Rx with it? 2. Can you recommend any motors that will provide lots of punch for the Versa and Spitfire? Video of servo jitter...
