Please advice where can I get the Tower Pro 2409-18 motor new bearings? Thank you

chapier61 (70%)
No idea because I dont know where you live but the price of this little good motor is so reasonnable that if I were You I should by a new one instead of loosing my time in searching for bearings that could even be found more expensives.

Try headsuprc

you may check this site for the exact dimensions of the bearings, but with the shipping cost it may not be feasible : ***********gobrushless****/shop/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=display&ref=splash

Has someone tried that one with 4S LiPo?
What would be the max prop size then before hitting the max. 13.5A load current for 4S (Imax = 200W/14.8V = 13.5A)?

rustynail (27%)
Seems like an 8x4 is OK with 4S. Tried it on a 640g 800mm delta and happy with it.

Other measurements (LiPo cells and prop saver mount):

APC 9x6 2S 9A
APC 9x6 3S 16A

APC 8x6 2S 7.5A (SF Prop 7.8A)
APC 8x6 3S 13.6A (SF Prop 14.3A)

SF 8x3.8 2S 6.3A
SF 8x3.8 3S 12A

Good setup seems to be an APC 9x6 at 3S using 178W - gets a 600g plane into hovering at full throttle. Same does a SF 8x3.8 on 4S - but couldn't measure the current - yet.

rustynail (27%)
Last update: 7x4 kicks ass on 4S and draws less less than 12A

chapier61 (70%)
No. And don't try it with 4S or only with a riduculously small prop. This motor run well on a 3s with a 8/6 to 9/5 max prop to give it's best performance.

rustynail (27%)
Well, I did. Had a couple of flights already and it is going great with 4s and 7x4 TGS Sport - having much less than the maximum current load specified here. Though I can confirm your observation with 3S and 8x6 as well as 9x6 ...but on 2S then.

I threaded some rubber bands in the mount holes and just attached the motor to the main fuselage with those rubber bands. Worst case scenario the rubber bands break.

clipper (40%)
The worst scenario- the motor twists and breaks the wires, ask how I know.

How do you Know?

How do you attach the spinner to the motor shaft? Just by screwing the nut on? I did and I lost a nice EasyStar ...

How many weight of plane this motor is recommended? I did a plane with 0.600 kg.

cosmoswings (72%)
My Trainer (1.4m wings span) has weight 0.770 kg and climbes up with about 0.7m/s with 10x4.7SF prop. Trust with this prop more than 0.800 kg forsure.

Anyone know if this motor comes bundled w/ gold connectors?

zeljka (57%)
No connectors

This customer was awarded a credit for their answer.

maukabud (52%)
thanx! guess I shoulda thought of that before I put my order in LOL.

I was wondering what are the different ways you can mount this motor on the plane. How are you guys mounting? Would like to hear from different people who have successfully mounted this airplane particularly without stick mount.

ttx (53%)
You can mount it to a 4 mm balsa reinforced with credit card both side. Use 2 mm bolt or screw and you are ready to fly

rustynail (27%)
Used a aluminum L frame in a pusher prop config. Easy to get and to work with. Drilled extra holes to save on weight.

Does anone know if there is a stick mount for this motor (Brushless Outrunner TowerPro2409-18 1000kv / 180W
)

shah123 (72%)
It comes with the stick mount, but the holes are not correctly aligned. You will have to drill the holes I guess.

Alan (76%)
That stick mount has nothing to do with this motor. It is a redundant gearframe for obsolete brushed motors.

Hang (50%)
is it possible to connect this motor with 60a esc and if it can, will the motor got burn cause to much power.

Beaufighter (-25%)
Any motor will burn if drawing too much power. The ESC has nothing to do with that. Max power is dictated by propsize, not by batteries and esc. If your motor draws too much power, reduce propsize.

It is quite possible to use a 60A esc, but uneccessary as it is a 180W motor.

FreeStyle07 (86%)
does anybody know the diameter of the motor is this a 24mm?

Beaufighter (-25%)
It is a clone of the TowerP 2409-18, which is 31mm dia x 62mm long. I cannot say that it has the excact same dimension, but it is likely.

rcalldaylong (88%)
these will work on it. I just got some in and it fits perfectly.

Thank you cha. The shafts look nice. I already have them. I still would like to know where I can find bearings for this motor.

rcalldaylong (88%)
Here it is:

eco-air (45%)
the shaft mentioned is for 2410 similar but not same you need 2409 shaft ***********hobbycity****/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7342

bothal3 (98%)
I would appreciate an answer soon.
I would also want to know where can I find the bearings for this motor?

clipper (40%)
for bearing, you will have to try your local hobby stores. From my experience, buy a new motor when you need bearings and a shaft.

lars (46%)
Hi,

What replacemnt shafts should I get for this motor?

byrumjr (69%)
they say it fits.

zeljka (57%)
I think that anny 3mm shaft will work

clipper (40%)
the 2409 shafts have the flats and groves in the correct locations

Alan (76%)
It's not too dificult to add flats and grooves with a dremel and shaft in a drill press.
