Hmmmm.......

I didn't mean that! lol

So it seems to be a toss up between these two, can't decide! the flash hobby is more in my budget but does anyone have an opinions?

PROPDRIVE v2 3548 1100KV Brushless Outrunner Motor

PROPDRIVE v2 motors are designed to perform right out of the box with tight windings, smooth bearings, correctly rated magnets, precision cut stator and balanced rotors.

I would not recommend using the 3548 prop drive with a 800 series. I use that motor on my full size but the biggest I'd suggest is 3536 for 800 series because any bigger (heavier) and you'll struggle to balance it properly.

I couldn’t make the 3542 work?

You would have torque roll issues.

Wait, are you doing the 800 spit or the MS Corsair?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

You would have torque roll issues.

It has the fire wall at a angle like the Mini Mustang to deal with the torque.

Both! I am doing the 800 spitfire first.

 

[Mr Man]

Both! I am doing the 800 spitfire first.

Then get the Propdrive 3536 1800kv motor for the spit. You'll get some insane speed with it.

Well I am trying to get a motor for both the spit and the corsair...... I don't think I will have torque issues because for the spit I will be use my gyro (I don't trust myself with that speeeeed without it) I am will to go less than 120mph if I can get a motor that will work with both.

 

[Mr Man]

@nerdnic Can the 800 series spitfire handle a 10x10 prop without any issues?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

The 3542 only weighs 10 grams more than the powerdrive 3536. I don't think that's enough difference to throw the balance off.

I'm mainly talking about the prop causing all the issues.

As far as torque you mean?

 

[Mr Man]

As far as torque you mean?

yep

 

[Mr Man]

I guess you could run a 9x10 prop on the spit and a 10x10 on the corsair.

 

[Mr Man]

Do they have to use the same motor?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Do they have to use the same motor?

Yeah, I don't want to spend anything more than one motor as of right now.

 

[Mr Man]

Yeah, I don't want to spend anything more than one motor as of right now.

Oh I see, you’re gonna build one, and when it crashes build the other.

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Right,(I hope that it retires from old age though. lol) I want a power house that will work well with both. The 3548 weighs 59grams more than the 3536 so I might start having balance problems as Nerdnic pointed out.
