I put SF 10x4.7 prop on this motor and tested it while plane was sitting on the ground. Motor got hot after 2 minutes on full throttle. Is it normal? I was expecting to keep it cool with that prop. With prop 9x4.7 stays cool.

Hello, what size of prop would you recommend with this motor on a 32oz Bipe with 40a speed contollet and 3 cell 2200mah 25c lipo. I'll be flying this plane in sport and 3d modes. Thanks

Sorry, need info on what motor and esc I need. Thanks again. David

Hyperion recommends Z3019-12 142 gram 900kv. At 132 grams, the Turnigy TR 3542D 900kv should be an excellent substitute. Turnigy Plush 40a should be OK if you don't over prop. You could go with the Plush 60 for a margin of safety.

359fishing (67%)
Sorry Mongoose662 I meant to respond to Lucastomio

rngarcia (86%)
heloo, David, use a esc for 30 amperes

I have i hyperion piper cub with 1.4meter wingspaw..maximun weight is 1.2kg.. can I use this motor on my piper? Thanks

roy (55%)
The motor will be a bit too small Lucas.

JOHN (28%)
You can. I have the same plane, and this motor is just right for it. Good choice on the plane by the way, I love mine!

mbshawaii (84%)
bit of an elec newbie here. Following some recommendations, just paired this motor with a 30A Turnigy ESC, a 2200mah 3s 20C lipo, and a 12x6 prop for my maiden. On the second flight, the motor knocked completely out. It smelled like something was burning when i got it down, motor was hot. Now the motor screeches and shakes at about half throttle. Wiring is correct, motor spins fine by hand in the bearings. Did it fry the ESC, the motor, both, or something else?

roy (55%)
You received a bad recommendation mbshawaii. Way too much prop and amps for this motor. I tried running this motor with a turnigy 30A-(32A burst) esc and it nearly overheated the ESC with a 10/4 prop. Solution, use smaller prop and less throttle. My motor and esc runs cool now using 35Aesc with a burst of 45A with a 9/4 (aprox) prop. at 3/4 throttle. Your battery can deliver 44 amps! (2200mah=2.2Amps X 20C discharge rate)(2.2A X 20= 44Amps discharge!) You have a gigantic prop and a wimpy ESC and at full throttle, 44 amps dumping into that ***r little motor! WOW! Delivering giant amps spinning a big prop with a highKV motor and low ESC = FAIL. (Or smoke and fire in a lot of cases.) You can make nice power with this motor on a light aircraft and a lower C battery using a 30-35A ESC paired with a smaller prop and reducing your throttle input. (Remember, the Turnigy weight recommendation of 21-45oz.) Some simple things to remember to make a power setup with motors: Higher KV motors turning smaller props spinning faster make excellent thrust on lighter planes. Over-propping high KV motors and running at full throttle maximum AMP discharge is where most people kill their motors and the ESC. KV=1000 rpm per applied volt.(KV is a close approximation of the motors output rating.) 11.1v x 1100(KV) = 12,210 rpm. error of or- 10% as per specs above. Now we add the load of a propeller to the motor and you understand how hard the motor must work. We are not seeking to spin this motor with a prop at 12,200 rpm. We want the battery motor prop and ESC to deliver nice thrust and run cool to (At most)slightly warm to the touch, compliment our models weight, and our individual style of flying. Read the specs below: Turnigy gives this info about the motor: Recommended model weight : 600~1300g / 21~45oz KV : 1100 rpm/V within 10% This covers a very wide spectrum of aircraft. You asked: "Wiring is correct, motor spins fine by hand in the bearings. Did it fry the ESC, the motor, both, or something else?" 1.)Motor probably ruined 2.)ESC probably ruined I have told you basic information. I have merely touched upon a few of many things to help you get familiar with a power setup for an airplane. Many more variables exist with your aircraft. Most of my friends use a general rule. Over build the power system so that it is never working hard yet it delivers the performance we want for the particular aircraft we are flying. Perhaps some of our power experts would like to weigh in with some additional information for mbshawaii. I hope this has helped.

mbshawaii (84%)
roy - that was an awesome response, thank you much. I'm more mechanically inclined than electrically, so all the help i can get is much appreciated. I've done some reading up since the last post, and downloaded the Drive Calculator software. Running this motor with my prop and ESC definately exceeding the rating of the motor. The 12x6E pulled 26A, and i believe this motor is rated to 15 amps, correct? I don't have any reason to believe that the ESC (which is a 30A, 40Apulse) should be fried based on the program. I started fussing around with other power packages. I ran some sims using the Turnigy AerodriveXp SK Series 35-36 910Kv / 310w, the same 2200 lipos, the 30amp ESC, and the 12x6E prop. I get roughly the same expected performance as this motor, around 1300g thrust, but only pull 21.5A at the lower RPMs. The 12x6E actually gives the most thrust efficiency of any prop with this power plant. I could go up to a 12x8E, get the same thrust and increase my flying speed by 33%, and still be only 25A. Assuming its still good, my 30A ESC should do the trick right, or should i upgrade to a 40A? Thanks all! Good learning here.

Father Time (100%)
Vary nicely done guys! Wish I saw more of the same info exchange on this web site - everybody learns and no snide comments. Could you please tell me where to find the drive calculator soft ware? Thanks Much!

It's much larger and has lower kv. So yes, it will swing a bigger prop without breaking a sweat because it is so powerful. Try powering it up with your 1100 and hold the esc and see how warm it gets. Just go 3/4 throttle and see if it will pull that prop without over-heating. Hate to be a skeptic man but hopefully Im wrong..... Thats an awfully massive prop. I just under propped mine again last night and went with APCE 8x6. I know that seems a bit small but it still puts out pretty good thrust for an 1100. I did find out that my esc rating is over inflated. Thats what I get for buying a no name ebay speed controller. I will put hobbyking esc on it tonight and ramp up the prop&pitch sizes until I find that happy place. ......................Hey, what plane are you putting this in? If I knew what you are flying and what kind of flying you want to do is a starting point for determining your power setup. I'm just hot-rodding an old supercub with my motor.

mbshawaii (84%)
Roy - This setup is going in an e-flite RV-9. Flying weight came in around 1150g. I bought a watt meter with my new motor (35-36 910) and did some testing. WOT yielded 21A at the highest spike. The old 30A turnigy ESC is still doing fine it seems. I took her up and ran two full 2200 lipos and she did great. When i came down, motor and ESC were only slightly warm, and did smell like they did with the previous motor. The prop does seem big, but i can't find a good prop on the sim that will give me positive thrust to weight. This is my first plane outside my nexstar mini ep trainer, so i'm not doing anything crazy. mostly simple aerobatics and watching in awe as this thing flys around the sky :)

mbshawaii (84%)
Sorry, i meant *didn't smell* the old motor smelled like something fried, the new one smelled fine

Dariusz (100%)
The 12x6 prop with 3s lipo you have used is too big for this motor. Try max. 10x6. I think, you have to check motor and ESC, both could be burned out. Greetings. Darek

mbshawaii (84%)
Yes the 12x6 was too big for sure for this motor. It is working great on my new 35-36 910kv. The 30A esc seems to be fine too. thanks guys

carl (72%)
im think a 30a speed control is not suffisant

valaente (67%)
what propeller is good in a high-wing trainer aircraft that weighs 1200g with 3s 2200mAh battery motor 3530 40A esc . the plane is a "wing tiger" of the art tech, today it is with a propeller 10x4,7 , and missing engine.

CHASSIN (84%)
Hello, I am the same plane.How you installed the motor on plane? The support isn't adapted. have you change support.

valaente (67%)
I used this amount: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7388, it fits perfect

Dariusz (100%)
This motor is barely enough to move this trainer. Try max. 10x4,7 propeller, do not use 40A ESC, this motor can use only max current up to 15 A, so maximum safe ESC is 20-25A.

William7777 (75%)
Does anyone know what APC prop is good for this motor with the stock 30 amp esc and 3s 1800 mah Lipo in the Parkzone Corsair? The quality of this motor is amazing but I think it's over propped with an 11x9. I'm used to nitro motors so please go easy on me! Thanks

bothal3 (98%)
Depending on the weight of your plane.

I am flying a 650 g plane with a 10x3,8 prop and 2 200 mAh 20 C LiPo. Plenty of thrust and 3D at below 22 A.

Also look at the reviews.

knifeedge63 (58%)
hey with a bigger speed controller, would this motor be able to handle four cell batteries?

Tom (50%)
the best prop that i have found for this is a 9.5x7.5 or 9.5x8.5 if you use the ones from parkzone, they will last you a very long time as the two blade version is much stronger that the three blade......i have the corsair and the trojan and am using these props.....performance is great and the props stand up to most lumps and ***ps without damage...

mike929 (47%)
you can try anywhere from a 10x6,10x7,10x8,11x6,11x7,11x8,12x6. just rember the smaller the prop the more rpm, but less thrust, and the more pitch you have the faster the plane will go, but faster it will decellerate.

vaughan (53%)
Out of six motors I purchased from HK this has been by far the best. So good I don't need another but I'm going to get another anyway. We have used it to drive up to a 11x9 quite happily. As long as it's not too hot to touch after a flight it will be fine.

kampj (33%)
an APC style 8*6 is consuming approx 15 Amps on 3s. That's close to the limit. The thrust with this configuration approx 600-700g.

richshutt (15%)
i use this motor on a eflite taylorcraft running a 10 8 prop and i also have 1 on a t 28 parkzone running 9.5 7.5 and have no problems you are running to big a prop go back to stock size which is the latter one mentioned

roy (55%)
William I'll look at my prop tomorrow and let you know. Or e-mail me at blewbayou*gmail****.
Roy

Dariusz (100%)
I think, the maximum size of prop for this motor with 3s LiPo battery is 10x4,7. You can use 11x9 but only with 2s LiPo. Good luck! Darek

dejongster (57%)
I bought this motor to replace the 480 in the Parkzone T-28. In the reviews someone suggested getting the HXT mount which I did. It is way too long with the motor to fit beneath the cowl. I am not super mechanical. Any ideas for mounting?

vaughan (53%)
Forget the HXT mount. They're sold as a joke. Just attach the motor with the four little screws that come with it to cross shaped bracket, screw the bracket onto some homemade firewall to the front of your plane with the shaft sticking through a hole in the middle of your firewall, then attach a prop to the screw on adaptor, that is fitted with the real little screws that came with your motor at the other end, and awaw you go.

richshutt (15%)
cut the end of the cowl out i did it on mine

JOHN (28%)
Try going to your local hardware store, and just get some alluminum spacers. I used them to convert a nitro bird to electric, and it worked great!

roy (55%)
Yes, two methods jongster..... I bought a turnigy mount from a guy on e-bay he is called ac_me_rc. Here is a link to his e-bay store........
*******stores.ebay****/acmercmotors
Another way is to get a piece of aluminum tubing and cut 4 pieces to the appropriate length of your needs. Then take 4 machine screws and run them through the 4 point mount on your engine, through the tubes, and leave enough thread to protrude through a mointing point ie firewall.
Really best to go for a turnigy mount. The length of the mount is about 1 and 3/4 inches. Maybe that will help you.

does anyone know if the motor shaft can be reversed on this motor?
thanks frank

chapier61 (70%)
Yes, YOU can ! But please, use a drill press or an hydraulic press and NOT a hammer to eject the shaft and repositioning it !!!

richshutt (15%)
yes they can be reversed

roy (55%)
Frank I tried by removing the tiny circlips and banging it on my workbench without success. Just ended up mounting it like it is and drilled a hole for shaft clearance at my firewall. Now as far as motor direction just switch any two wires. Good luck.

xanadu (62%)
Would this be a good replacement for a Rimfire GPMG4560?

Want to find a new motor for my Great Planes Fokker DR1.

-boot (72%)
I am using the TR 28-30 1050kv in my D7 and it works great with a 10x4.7 on only 2 lipos. Right off hand I can't remember how many amps it draws but it flies nice and scale like with adequate speed and climb for this type of plane.

roy (55%)
Yes this motor will be a good replacement. just dont over-prop it. It'll fly your Fokker just fine.

arichards1969 (74%)
If this moter is rated 15Amps, how are people running more than 20Amps ?

Will motor not burn out at higher amps ?
What is safe amps ?

Cheers,
ants.

xero67156 (52%)
It's not rated to 15A, its max efficient current is 10-15 Amps. peakeff . com shows max power to be around 290W.

kampj (33%)
you can do it for a short period, but you will loose effectivity, the engige gets warm or hot,

roy (55%)
That is the "maximum efficiency" which is always pretty low. To put it simply, I'm pulling 22 amps continuous with this motor running a turnigy 30amp speed controller. If I open the throttle wide open the controller gets pretty warm.
Just dont over-prop it and it'll be fine. It'll swing a bigger prop in its specs than I would recommend but its a fine little motor.

Gary (79%)
Anyone else find a bit of slop between the bearing and shaft? My motor has quite a bit of play and makes quite a bit of noise. I took the motor apart and I was surprised at how loose the shaft to bearing fit is. Anyone try to correct this?

Is it possible to reverse shaft on C3530?

i have a rambler airplane, electric, aerobatic, ~700g, NOT 3D.
which one should i take the 1100kv or 1700 kv?
Thanks

30A ESC will be OK. You can mount it both ways, but you'll need a different prop adapter for that & probably a 'cage'/motor mount too. Like these :

Keith (72%)
Is a 30a esc enough? using a 11x4.7?

Geoffrey (78%)
11x4.7 on 2200 3s = 28.76a

Kyle (67%)
BUT, I MUST SAY I WAS KINDA P.O.'D BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET ANY FEMALE BULLET CONNECTORS WITH MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beaufighter (-25%)
Tried pulling gently on the connectors attached to the motor? That's where they are fitted, not as a loose item.

Kyle (67%)
No they're definitely just not there. I know the difference between male and female connectors.

Bill (94%)
Anyone know what size these connectoes are?

Kyle (67%)
I got mine today! Put it on my Typhoon and I put an 11x4.7SF on it. I haven't gone above half throttle because it's so powerful. Great 3d power for 26 oz. plane at 11.1v
I'm geting 10-12A at half throttle.

Kyle (67%)
I want to keep the amps below 27a with this motor. will a 10x5 prop keep it under 27A but still giving me 3D power for my Typhoon (26oz. or 735g)?
Thanks!!!!!

william (75%)
Yes I think it will stay under 27 amps with a 3s. Just remember that all 10x5 props are not equal. You'll find the slow flyer, park flyer blades are wider and draw more current by a considerable amount than an electric thin blade, like an APC E for instance. Try 10x3, 10x4, work your way up!
I'm not a 3D expert, will 40 oz or so thrust hover the Typhoon? That's what the 35-30 will generate! Great motor,how can you go wrong?

bothal3 (98%)
I am flying a 650 g plane with a 10x3,8 prop and 2 200 mAh 20 C LiPo. Plenty of thrust and 3D at below 22 A.
Depending on the LiPo you use it should not be a problem.
Do you have any measuring instruments, then you can test the combination.
Also look at the reviews.

Kyle (67%)
Thanks guys. I have a Watt's up meter, but I really just wanna buy one prop and save some dough (yes i no theyre cheap but still...)
So, maybe somethin some prop in the 10x3.8 to 10x5 area would give me good 3D?
Thanks!

Keith (72%)
Is 30a esc enough? for a 11" prop probally a 11x5 or 11x4.7

Kamil (75%)
shaft included ?

FreeStyle07 (86%)
Yes, of course is the shaft included, I think Louis asking for a spare shaft for the motor

bothal3 (98%)
Will the Turnigy AerodriveXp 35-30 Shaft listed under "related products" fit this motor?

FreeStyle07 (86%)
I get 1460gr. (approx. 52 oz.) of thrust with an 11x6" folding prop. If I remember right it was at around 32A. I am using same LiPo as you. Your calculations seem realistic to me

Kyle (67%)
Hey Thanks for the reply Pierre! I want to keep the amps below 27a though. will a 10x5 prop keep it under 27A but still giving me 3D power for my Typhoon (26oz. or 735g)?
Thanks!!!!!

william (75%)
My simulator indicates the 35-30 1100 will generate over 2 lbs of thrust with a 10x4 or 11x4 under 20 amps and very efficient for 3D. Mine is in a 30 oz prototype foam sandwich, the plane is aerodynamically clean 9x7.5 prop, zippy 2200 3S over 60 mph level flight, and lotsa fun!

Kyle (67%)
Is this good for a Typhoon 2 upgrade? The plane does 3D and wieghs 26 oz. or 735 grams.

FreeStyle07 (86%)
You can probably take a slighty smaller and lighter motor for the size of plane (thrust see below)

william (75%)
And, my order arrived to the West Coast in 3 days, everything as described!! Amazing service, thanks to HobbyKing!

william (75%)
Notice the groove at the long end of the shaft. Can this be used for the circlip by loosening the shaft and pushing it through to the bell side? This way a Dubro 4 mm prop adapter with spinner will fit perfectly making a clean mounting. BB

JohnMcGowan (92%)
Hi,HELP PLEASE... would this be a good motor for a Parkzone FW 190 that now has the stock geared 480 motor on it? I would really like a motor that I can fly this plane really fast! It weighs appx 29 oz as is now. Also what prop(s) should I start out with for speed without overloading the motor? I am planning on using a zippy 3s 2200 20c battery with a 40amp esc.Would this be ok?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
John 11-9-2008

Beaufighter (-25%)
I would go for a 9x6 propeller (not SF), that should put you in the 15A region. Try to use a smaller battery (1500-1800mAh 20c is enough for 15-20A) to keep your weight down.

JohnMcGowan (92%)
Hi Sander, I decided on the Turningy 3530A 1700 kv motor for my PZ FW190. I recieved it yesterday and will hopefully get it mounted in the plane this coming weekend. The 3530A should make the plane go really well!! (maybe on an apc 8x8 prop?)
Thanks,
John
