Cheap batteries!!!

[Matthewdupreez]

Hi guys I'm back......... so I've built my cub and I then went ahead and also built a mustang....( https://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-mustang-build ).
now I've got a question what on earth is a park 400 motor? and what is its aliexpress equivalent? or does it use the same motor as the cub?
I'm going to order my electronics soon so I would really appreciate some help.
tsk Matthew

I suspect something like this:
https://store.flitetest.com/eflite-park-400-brushless-outrunner-motor-740kv-eflm1300/p19942

it looks like the ft mustang now uses a power pack C

[Matthewdupreez]

so the same power pack and motor as the cub?

 

[leaded50]

the FT "C" is a 2218 motor, what Jason linked too says a 2830.. other places it says 2212/ (Park 400 Eq)...
at 3S most 2212 have thrust at 700 - 850g , 250 - 350W.
at 3S a 2830 motor can be thrust 1000- 1130g, and 230 - 320W. Depending on props.
- in my opinion, find one you could also use 4S on, then you have extra power if needed

 

[Matthewdupreez]

so I should use a 2218 approx 1000kv to power the mustang?
if so can any one direct me to one in aliexpress??
there are lots of 2212 motors but 2218?

by 2218 I mean 2830......oops

Is there a reason you're stuck on aliexpress? Why not Hobbyking or Amazon?

I've used this DYS motor that I bought from Amazon, and it works pretty darned good:

[Matthewdupreez]

yea there is a reason
1. I dont have a lot of pocket money..
2. aliexpress is where I'm getting all of my other electronics.
3. and amazon won't deliver to my farm in South Africa

so yea im kinda stuck with Ali

 

[Matthewdupreez]
