Tp40X vs Tenshock 2250/2260 High power (40mm)

[vvviivvv]

Hi Gents,

has anyone compared the TP40 series against the new tenshock motor lines?

Specifically looking at a comparison between a TP4060 2620 2Y, and 2250HP (40mm) 2.5Y 2550 KV

A 2260HP(40mm) 2650KV 2Y is also a option.

How do the Tenshock's hold up to spinning 45kRPM+?

My plan is to run on the Cobra 8, for some SAW passes in a lightweight custom rigger.

TP and Tenshock are good motors the only week point with all china motors are the bearings

is a Lehner not a better choice for SAW i ran TP 4070's in a Sprint Cat hull and changed to lehner 2260 that was the only change to that hull and was 10kph faster (TP4070 1400kv and Lehner 2260/8 on 8s)i know they are expensive but it's a better motor

Normally Lehner's KV is advertised as loaded, could that be for your increase?

That is a option, a 2260, however i was wondering how a 4/6 pole would go. i will be running a non water cooled castle cobra 8.

Liam, I would definitely give the performance nod to the Tenshock HP series. The 6-pole design has a ton of torque and I have seen better efficiency from the HP2250/2260/2270 compared to similar size TP's. The cost is a factor, but you are getting really high quality motors from Tenshock. The 40 series Lehners can put out more power if you are willing to prop for very high RPM but its difficult getting that balance and you need more current from the ESC. I have run Tenshocks up to 45k, but not regularly. They don't need to be run that high to make the power. They are happier at 40-45k loaded.

Hi Tyler, as always your knowledge is invaluable. given the project it's going in, i don't want to disturb it too much given how delicate of a bit of kit it is in regard to propping up and running lower KV.

I do like the idea of having a spare motor while in Germany.
