Anyone tried this motor with slow 11x4.7??
im waiting to receive that pack soon to install into parkmaster but i dont know if that prop is ok with the motor

I doubt. Have tried a 10x5 with it and it was very hot to the touch after just 1.5mins on 1/2 throttle. No measuring done though - juts my skin.

Can i use this motor with a 3s Lipo? Im wondering about the 6-10 volts...
I plan to use a 3s 2200mah.

I been using this motor on a 16oz ChargerRC Foamy, 18A HK ESC, 3S 1300mah 20C, 10x3.8SF prop, and I've had over 36 flights with no issues. Motor is barely warm. Aloha, Les

Of course you can!! Using it on my Alfa Corsair with a Dynam 9x5 prop (APC style, half throtle, cool functioning, plenty of power.

Ok i see that you have to connect the provided prop adapter to the bell part of the motor and just ignore the shaft stiaking out the back and the prop savers i ordered for the shafts
19/12/2009 Flydo (45%)
Hey, i just ordered 3 of these because in the review a guy named pat says he put one on his slowstick. The shaft seems to stick out the wrong side. dont know how to run this on a slowstick? I dont know what to do? I think i goofed and bought stuff i cant use. Then i see the guys at the park running the turnigy 2217 1050kv outrunner and they were very happy

Use the Prop adapter that came with the motor, it will bolt onto the motor on the side opposite the shaft, your prop then goes on there. The adapter bolts on the side that has no shaft sticking out.

Has anyone been able to reverse the shaft? I would like to put it on a common sense profile yak54 and need to reverse the shaft.

Ok it's finally done. First you need to remove C clip on the mounting side of the engine. there are 2 shims -or spacers- behind c clip. remove them too. now you can take apart the stator side from bell side. Mine a little bit stucked to the groove and a little bit more force took it apart. put the stator side away you don't need it until final assembly. look at the bell side of motor and you'll see a hole. there is a setscrew in this hole. unscwer it with 1.5mm hex. Now all you need to do is push the shaft away from bell. It's the tricky part. You can do it your own way. I've found a s**** wood piece about 5cmx5cmx10cm and drilled a hole all the way. Put the shaft side in hole and bell is sits on wood. Found a m2x15 (2mm thick 15mm long) bolt and tried to hammer it. it didn't work. I'm afraid to destroy it. I've just put it in a desk vice (or you can use a hand vice if you don't have one) put the bolt on top and and slowly start to compress it. all you need to do is press the shaft in. and it will come off. when shaft is removed, Here comes the tricky part 2. you'll see at the top side of the shaft there is a large groove. You need to copy this groove 10mm down(11mm actually). I did it with a dremel tool. If you don't have one you can use a thin file but it can take hours. After copying large groove you need to put it back to bell in same way. but this time head side of motor (prop side) will sit to hole in wood. just calibrate the large groove and setscrew hole lining to each other ( so your setscrew can hold the shaft). And press it with desk or hand vice. Don't pust it too far just put the stator side and check where is your c clip groove. when it comes about 1mm to mounting side of stator side, put your 2 shims -spacers- and put you c clip in place. if it still needs to press just press it again in vice. After this, you need to fasten the setscrew. If you have locktite put a little drop and fasten the setscrew. DONE! You can use epoxy if you don't want to return back to prop adapter. This is how I reversed my shaft. Now I can use prop savers. You can do it same way witout a desk/hand vice with hammering it. but I don't suggest. shaft can easly bend. Good luck with yours!

yes i have. you have to loosen the set screw and the shaft are tight so i tap it down with a small hammer. there might be a small e clip on the shaft that you have to take off. i hope this helps you. thanks todd

These motors are perfect for the Electrifly WWI series planes with 2S, 18a turnigy ESC, and 10x4.7 slowfly type prop. Low total weight and nice scale like flight with adequate power. These planes are not supposed go straight up, they look very realistic in flight with this combination at a low price.

this motor will replace any motor in the ''400'' series motor in brush sizes.....it will also take the place of a 480 size motor and is stronger than any motor in the 400 size range. this size motor is very popular and it covers a wide range of electrics that use this size motor. it can be used with 2 or 3 cell lipos, and any motor, brushed or brushless can be used with lipos, ni-cads, or metal-hydrides as long as you do not go over its voltage limits. hope that this helps you.

Ok, so I took my Funtana clone out for a flight yesterday. After the second battery was about to die, I started doing some powerless dead stick approaches. I was just powering off from about 70 feet up and it would slowly decent with wings leveled. I would power up when it was about 5 feet up and go for another dead stick approach. Anyway, One of those stunts caused me to slam into the prop unto the runway. I got my model and brought it to one of the tables and upon changing the prop and powering up, I noticed that the Turnigy lacked power and was hesitating and locking up...
Upon further scrutiny, the resulting crash caused some magnets to fly loose and are no longer in the motor. I'm missing 3 small magnets to my TR 28-30B 10A 1050kv.
Is there a way to replace them and if so where, and how?

Perfectly. You can use nearly any 3S battery starting from around 1000mAh 20C, if weight matters. If the plane can carry a 2200mAh, you should get a really good runtime.

I want to use 4 of these to power my Lancaster using Master Airscrew 3 bladed props 6x4inches. The model is 58inch span and is not expected to wiegh beyond 3lbs. Would these be suitable?.
SpeedFlap
(49%)
6x4inch 3blade is way below the capability of this motor with 3S battery. If prop size would fit on the plane, get the Master 7x4 3blade. For 6" diameter prop, I'd better go for a higher KV version like TR2826-1350.

Bought two for scratch built shoe string. one came with wrong hard wair package, not to wory I bought two and can only fly one at a time. Riged first to bench test and it had a catchy bearing. Not to wory I bought two and can only fly one at a time. Riged second with mounting hardwair from first. Prop adapator from second was not machined true. Switched adapators. 9-6 APC E prop 3s lipo 30a plush esc "WOW" exceded all my expectations, full throtal 20sec. can't feel aney heat, 3/4 throtal 5 min. no heat, throtled up full {WHAM}!! KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN, sucked up little zip lock bag from mounting kit and bent the moter shaft. I will be pressing moters apart dilling and strating shaft insted of flying. 3mm moter shaft 5mm prop adapator, mashered with micromator.

Sory for goof on shaft dia. It's 3.155 mm with micks. ID of bearing is 3.169mm. So hardened steal dowll pins 1 3/4 X 1/8 In. -.002 is a push fit with thumb through bearings and makes a good replasment shaft, avalable at M.S.C. You have to spot a set screw flat and cut the E clip grove with a dressed drumal cut off disk. The stock shaft is .1242 witch lets it slop through bearings a little to loose. I'm so impresed with the power performance and so disapointed with the bearings and shafts I'm rebilding them. The machine work on Staters and roters and electrical is spectacular, and I've been a toolmaker for 42 years. when I get part no's for high end bearings and supplier I'll post them. I'm shure the bearings will cost as much or more then the moter, but your moter is the hart of your project. If you deside to do aneything like this Put your moter parts in a zip lock bag or another room while grinding, the magnets will find aeny steel dust for a mile around.

One of the guys at my field has these motors and it clicks and he thinks it is broken but it works though! so he runs it ... lol..
7/06/2009 bdoets (84%)
I need to mount this motor in front of the firewall, so I have to reverse the axle. I've done that before with other brand motors, but I've broken an (identical) Turnigy because, like right now, I cannot take the bell off. I loosend the Allen screw in the bell, but the bell won't come off. I am reluctant to hit the axle with a hammer, since that's how I wrecked the other Turnigy 28-30B... any suggestions?
helicopke
(52%)
do NOT hit the axle with a hammer, I don't take the axle out but simply turn around the engine, drill out a hole in the nose of the plane if enough space or if a hole is already there it makes things easier =:-) Also cutting of the axle when motor is reversed is an option, but if you keep it then you could mount the prop adapter which comes with it to put a prop on (This is how I do it with a GWS Formosa 1 plane) Hope this helps a little, good luck and happy flying.

I have lots of these motors on my 3D foamies. It is very easy to put a prop saver on and rear mount. 1. loosen the allen/grub screw and move the c-clip to the end of the shaft. 2. Then tap the shaft through the motor. 3. Finally retighten the allen/grub screw.

I just received a Turnigy Outrunner motor and controller. No hook-up information was provided. The motor has 3 wires, red, black and yellow. The controller wires are labeled A, B, C. Information would be appreciated.

Just connect the three wires in any combination and switch two if the motor turns the wrong way
helicopke
(52%)
I found the yellow wire is for C, A and B for red and black but it depends if you need the motor to run clock or counterclockwise, just test since you cannot do anything wrong here, good luck !

Shaft size in 3.0mm It comes with 3.5mm bullet connectors - male and female included Comes with prop adaptor kit, mounting plate & hardware. resistance - I do not know
We use these motors with APC9x4.5E props in GWS Warbird Pylon racing on 3S Lipo & they are excellent. Hand launch at 75 degree angle is easy. Motor or 3S 1200ma/hr(30C) packs are not even close to warm.

The connectors are provided with the motor - in the pic you see the female connectors fitted over the male connectors which are on the wires. This is how you get the motor.

Most other Turnigy motors I have seen in this size range have a 3.17mm shaft ** this seems to be a common size. But, I am not completely sure.

WITH THIS MOTOR AND 3S 1300MAH AND A PROP 9*4.7 HOW MANY WATTS I CAN EXPECT, BECAUSE I WANT TO BUY IT FOR MY MS COMPOSIT BIPLANE 3D 500 GRS
Andrew
(58%)
I've tested with an APCe 9x6 on 3 cell lipo and gave 150 watts * 15.5 amps static WOT so will unload in flight.Hope to maiden in my GWS FW190 today. I try to gauge the effect of different props by some simple maths e.g 9x6 prop(9x9x9)=486,10x4.7(10x4.7x10)=470.I would expect similar amp draw with both props but more speed with 9x6.A 9x4.7=380 so would expect amps to be c.12.5 amps
Harrow
(43%)
It will easily pull a 500gram plane vertical with 3 cell. You might like to try a 10x6 GWS. You cannot do direct comparison of slow fly props against fast props with the simple maths. For example, I tested the motor today, and with 10x6 I get 18 amps, but with 10x4.7 SF I get 24 amps and a lot more thrust.
I like the 10x6 better on this, because with 3 cell, I think this is spinning to fast for SF prop.
helicopke
(52%)
I agree with Harrow, I flew my Formosa 1 (smaller version) with it and with GWS 10x6 prop, 3 cell 2200 mah 20c and it will give ample power and good flying times (at least 15 minutes of mixed flying).
