motor

Hi guys, Looking for motor suggestions for my new tricopter build. I want a motor with loads of power, capable of 4s, and able to spin a commonly available quad prop(counter rotation, bolt on style etc). I've been looking around on hobbyking and can't seem to settle on one. The motors...

Well, I maidened a modified versawing today. It being my first wing, I am definitely hooked! I am running a Turnigy D2826 2200kv motor on a 40A Plush esc and flew with a 2200mah 3s 30c lipo. Got about 13 minutes of flight and had lots of fun, but I am thinking FASTER can only be more...

Hi, I'm still a newbie so excuse my ignorance of mechanical terms but I've bought a few electric brushless motors now and I have a few questions about the parts you usually get with them for which I can't find any answers on the internet. I bought this LOGIC FUSION 3545 850KV and an 11x5.5 prop...

Hello everyone, I built an FT Flyer, and I really like it, but sometimes the motor suddenly shuts down.... When this happens, I can get the motor working again by fully going back on the throttle and then giving it some throttle again. When it happens, there is this weird sound: PHIEW.... I...

Hello, Yesterday, i finished building my FT Flyer with a Turnigy park 300 1380 kv motor. I got some propellers as well, of course. However, I can't manage to assemble my prop to the motor... I tried using rubber bands, (although they were way too long), but when I go full throttle the prop...

Hey, just recently bought parts for my first quadcopter. I'm having issues with calibration on it, the problem is the flight controller that I'm using. Currently using the KK-Mini in conjunction with a Q Brain 4 in 1 20A ESC, What's happening is that when i spin up the motors, they all start at...

Hi, first time poster here :). Small Intro (feel free to Skip): I startet RC flying after I stumbled on the Flite Test Beginner series in YouTube. I decided that I want to build from Scratch. After flying for some time the FT Flyer I built the FT Delta to learn to yank and bank. Then I had the...

Hey all, I'm getting a parts list together for building my first multi rotor - the FT Electrohub quadcopter. I'm planning to source my motors from Hobby King (EU) to save on import duties and shipping in Denmark. Judging from what other people have reported, and the power kits available...

Hello, I am going to build a ft versa wing as a pusher but i have a question about my motor and prop. I am going to using a turnigy D2826-10 which is 1400kv motor and I am going to use a 3 cell battery. My prop is a 7x5. My question is if it will be able to have enough power to fly. Thank you in...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get 330KV motor from US seller for fast shipping? Thanks

Hello all, I am not new to RC in general, but my experience is in Classic Pattern. All Glow up to now. I have picked up several of the Quick build kits. The mini's and the swappable three plane package. I have built the swappables and their power pods. My difficulty lies in the motor to...

Hi! Sorry if there's any silly questions. Also sorry if this is in the wrong section. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyway, I'm going to be building my first model. I'm brand new to electric flying, I have a fantastic area near me that I want to fly in (my gas plane is too noisy). I...

I posted the other day in hopes to get help in making my first RC parts purchase. I've got my cart full of goodies, but I would love to have someone look it over to make sure it will all work together, and to tell me if I need any extra adapters/connectors. Thanks for taking the time to read...

Hello! I'm a completely novice/whatever... in the rc aircraft world and i've got an objective for christmas. BUILD MY FIRST TRICOPTER! I love building, whatever it is, and i want to feel the experience of building and using one of these, as I've seen they're totally awesome. I have watched...

Will over-volting destroy a motor? If so, why? Here's an interesting question: So let's say I take a motor designed for 3s and I give it 6s. When I do this, I prop way down so the motor only draws the same amount of current (or less) as it drew on the 3s setup with a bigger prop. As I...

Hi Guys, Im a great fan of the show and now want to start participate in the great community that grew around these awesome Dudes! :D I want to scratchbuild a FT Mustang and a FT Spitfire. Are these Motors too big for that plane? Flyzone F4U Motor (35-36-920kV) with 40A ESC Parkzone 15 BL...

Hey all! Bought my first multirotor yesterday, a Blade Nano QX. I'm having a lot of fun crashing it around my living room. After about a day (and probably upwards of 100 crashes, although at 18 grams the crashes are pretty uneventful), one of my motors is making a loud buzzing/humming noise...

Call me a bad sport, but a few of the guys at the local club got their hands on HobbyKing's EFX Racers. Now they seem to be obsessed with speed. So, I've decided to build a Slipso 400 from a kit and show them how it's done. http://www.pldaniels.com/flying/models/slipso400/ Only problem is I...
