TP power brushless motor.

Hi,



whether the TP power brushless motors with high quality?

I don't have the one you linked to, but I have a couple of the 4082 2180kv motors in a hydro & a mono & they out perform the same size Leopards I've tried in the same boats any day. More efficient, more power & less heat with the same prop, battery & laps.
Just my thoughts & observations.

TP Power are great! They deserve way more recognition than they get.

sounds good!

why have I heard TP motors are a hit or miss?

Steven Vaccaro tested a TP 4092 1800kv & Leopard 4092 1730kv both on 6s in a 36" DF cat hull both on x450 prop, the TP ran 60mph & the Leopard 67mph. He said the Leopard had so much torque that he had a use i believe 10,000 mah batteries over the 5000mah he had previously used to get more weight in the boat & still ran 65mph with the Leopard.

Sounds like one was a deta wind and one was a Y wind???

I remember that thread he started...

The specs ive seen on both motors they are both D winds.
Leopard 3D no load current 4.5a.
TP 6D 2.5a.

I just picked up a used 4084 2200 KV.

It wont be a fair comparison though because my Leopard if a 4074 2200 KV.

Initial thoughts- WAY stronger magnets. This thing cogs like a hog!

[martin]

incease in cogging is no indication of a more powerfull motor.

[Basstronics]

Increase in magnet strength is an indication of more torque.

I could have both rotors Gaussed...

There was obviously a variable that had not been accounted for. If he used 10,000mah for one and 5,000mah for the other, that could be the difference.
I have tested a number of Leopard and TP motors and I have not experienced this phenomenon. That test is not a fair representation/comparison of motors.

[martin]

He tested them both with 5000mah & got 60mph & 67mph, he then fitted 10,000mah with the Leopard to increase weight to help with the torque problem & still got 65mph.

[keithbradley]

So it went slower on 2p?
I think he needs to re-test. I suspect that 67mph reading was innaccurate.

[martin]

I believe he used 2 3s 5000mah in series for the 60mph & 67mph runs.
