The $44 BL motor test coming up

[sjslhill]

HXT 36-56 2700kv Brushless Inrunner (WaterCooled)

Coupled with the $12.50 50 amp controller, it should be interesting. GPS and DPR recordings will be provided. Hull, 1/12 Classic Hydro on 3, A123 cells.

Total cost $102 for batteries, motor and controller

May be a flop, may work fine.

I have always been curious about that motor. Keep us updated.

Interest for this one too ,how it fast?compare with Neu 1521??? :)

[sjslhill]

Thoughts

I don't expect it to compare to the Neu motor at all. This is not an all out see which motor is the fastest on the planet test. This is a test to see how one can have fun with a lower budget.

thanks,
Steve

Hurry up and test that thing. I need a cheap set up for my daughters new boat. I just want to know if it goes up in smoke and if its faster than a similar brushed set up. Looking forward to the testing! Keep us posted!!!

[sjslhill]

It's going to be two weeks or so........I am going camping next week. Doozie is doing the same test in a mono. It's not going up in smoke, I'll fuse the system until I make sure I get it setup properly.

If you want to run brushed, there is $31 800 motor on Amazon that will last foerever, in fact it's brushes can be changed.

I have that motor and ran it briefly in a 4s 33" mono.From memory it ran hotter than I expected even with the water jacket .Sorry no hard figures as I put a Feigao XL 2084kv motor in it's place soon afterwards.Still have the 36-56 motor just needs 3s lipo to keep things reasonable I think

I agree, this motor will not compare to a Neu. It is rated at 475 watts and a 1521 will handle 2500 - 3000 watts. Watts = Power. It could be a good motor, if it can handle the heat?

[sjslhill]

It's a 3S motor, I don't care about what class it fits in.

The 1521 should be in an unlimited class, that's 4HP and complete overkill for most people. I don't need a fishing trolling motor.

[J Solinger]

It's just a matter of finding out what hull size and type matches it. I will be watching too. Thank you for your testing efforts Steve.

[sjslhill]

My plan is three Classic Hydros all setup the same for Matthew, Mom and Dad (me) and Andrew in training.....if this motor does not work, I know the 800 Doozie motor will.

Yes

As we talked, we may need to go 4S with A123 and 3S with LiPoly
I should have all the parts soon. Guess I need a 5mm to .125 coupler though, not sure if I have one or not.
Is the 700BB 5mm?
