Would this be a direct replacement motor?

Was just looking at outrunners and thought maybe this would be an ok upgrade to run on 5s and maybe it would fit in the stock motor clamp?

This is an awesome motor. Check the motor mount though, might have to change it. Also check the coupler, if the stocker is a 3mm shaft, might have to change the coupler. (Octura 5mm - .130 will work on the 3mm cable)

This is an awesome little 1500 watt motor! Excellent on 5-6s. I have a dozen of them, literally!

Make sure to set your ESC timing to 15 degrees or they'll run HOT.

The stock shaft is 5mm and I'm running a 90a seaking esc so all I need is for it to fit the stock mount. For the price I think I will order one and chance it. Will it run ok on 4s till I get a 3s to make I 5s 2p?

Yeah, it'll run great! Just lower RPM, so might be a bit slower.

Watch the lipo weight with 2p, might end up making the hull run wet and creating more load.

If you wanted to run it on 4s, there's a 2200kv version of that motor that I can order from the mfr.

I've just ordered it so will try it on 5s when I get another battery, hopefuly it should fly. I accidentally ran the stock motor on 5s once and it was quick. Do you think temps will be a problem running 5s with that motor, 90a esc and an octura x640 prop?

[jamespl]

Would the 2900kv version of that motor be any good on 4s as the 2200kv is not available?

The 2900kv is a smaller 380 sized motor.

I've run that 3126 1600kv outrunner on 6s w/442 in a 32" cat. Ran great.

Does anyone know who makes venoms marine motors for them? there has to be an identical one out there somewhere, like the venom esc. Its the same as the seaking!

[ray schrauwen]

I hope the HK motor fits as it looks like your motor mount will not fit anything BUT, a Venom motor or intunner because of the clamp motor mount design.

Thats called proprietary, I hate that... The only thing I didn't like about the P1.

I hope it will work for you.

They are built by Dragon Hobby in China. Not sure who supplies the electronics, but an email to Dragon Hobby should turn up some info.

I have ordered a new stock replacement motor aswell so if the one from hobbyking doesn't fit I will see how long a stock one holds up on 5s!

[jamespl]

The turnigy one only fits in the clamp as if it grew there, im so chuffed, going to try it on 4s then 5s. Do you think i should stick with the x640 prop or go a little bigger?



And a couple of the mirrors i installed just to give it that bit more of a scale look.

[ray schrauwen]

Beautiful! I'm glad it fits! Not too much meat clamped in I guess as the edge is only 1/8" or so. No matter as you have it ready to go now.

If you have a 40mm 3 blade on there I wouldn;t go up too much as torque roll might show up being a fairly narrow hull.

I don't know how much more power you will see since you went to a lower Kv motor than stock???


It can turn a much bigger prop but, will your boat roll from the torque?

More Voltage Captain!

Love those mirrors.

[jamespl]

i think you could be right about the torque roll, and yes it doesnt clamp onto much but ive given it a good pull and its not going anywhere, i just wish you could still get hold of the 2200kv version of this motor, oh well for £25 its worth seeing how it goes!
