Just ordered this 1100KV bad boy for my 36inch sprintcat, flagging twins and going for one of these on 6s for the meanwhile.

880kv also

"We wont tell you anymore..."

Like no max wattage, then they recommend a 100A controller for a 110 amp motor, etc. The price seems too good - about 1/3rd that of a comparable Scorpion - hope it works out for you.

Let me know if u can spin it like the scorpion motor

[vasy]

I was thinking of getting one, but shaft is 6mm, where do you get 6mm flex cable to motor connector, they all seem to be 5mm?

From my lathe

for $61nzd shipped here I cant really go wrong, Plus its not for club racing as there is not currently a class for the boat its going into.

bummer.....

[crabstick]

pretty sure OSE sold some 6mm couplers for the KB45's when they sold them.

If not try Jeff Wohlt on OSE

6mm is much better than 5mm, less vibration

FYI, TURNIGY outsorced the design and manufacture of this motor to the same factory that makes HACKER motors.

Got this motor today. looks to be very large and well constructed, I cannot fault it visually.

Looks cool, Turnigy are labeling some good gear at the moment. I am using their digital servos in all my boats. They have a high torque normal size that I have replaced the 1/4 size servo on the rudder in my gasser and it works faultless !!

Matt,

Could you please measure the mounting hole dimension on the motor. I have purchased 2 for a twin cat I am preparing.

Thanks you,

Ray

Hi Ray, I checked this last night and they are 24mm from center to center according to my verniers

[Meniscus]

Just an observation, but those motor wires look fairly light. Do they have the gauge printed on them?

[crabstick]

they do look a little thin, but they are very solid as in hard to bend. I think due to the low amp draw that these motors are known to have they should be ok.

[Karfrik]

Will this power a DF 39 copy reasonably?...Are you watercooling it? if so how?....$$ interesting,....Thanks

[crabstick]

I would say so, Big props though so there might be prop torque issues.

As for watercooling, I will be making a watercooled mount.

[ray schrauwen]

I've kept quiet on here about these until I recieve mine.

Should be here this week, damn, never using airmail again... 3 weeks and counting....

Next time its EMS!!

I think this would fair nicely in a 39" mono on 8S1P and a large or heavily pitched prop. That is the 880KV vesion.

I ordered both to see what they will be like, the 1100KV one I'll put in my 3.5lb (bare hull) 29" Promise cat... yeeeha!!

I owned a Scorpion 4025 1100kv motor for a few weeks until I sold it in the winter after reading the blog on these motors, decided to wait and glad I did! Well, hope so when I see them...

[crabstick]

29 inch !! Whoa, I thought I was building a hotrod with it in a sprint 40..

Hope it gets there soon Ray, mine took about 2 weeks to NZ and even Airmail normally gets here in a week or so. Ems is about 3-4 days.

[ray schrauwen]

They have arrived in Canada finally, they should be here by Friday at the latest.

I want to build a boat that is way overpowered but, just use a small amount of power so as to draw few amps.

I don't have to prop it to pull 100 amps, 75 amps would be nice and nice long run time. I have race boats, I need a fun boat or 2.

[Karfrik]

I`m not looking to break any speed records,i`ll be happy to hit 40`s on 6S and a 180A esc if i get the hull .But worried about watercooling it.Maybe a watercooled motor mount? if so from who?
Guys please post whenever you try it......Thanks,Al

Hey Ray have you read bad stuff bout the scorpion? I have (2) 3026 1600kv I'm toying with the idea of slappn em in my BlackJack twin.....At 1470watts a pc. should set the water on fire or at least my boat......

Thank you Sir!

All good dude but, when Turnigy comes out with a $35 880Kv & 1100Kv outrunner that is nearly the quality of a Scorpion (Weaker Shaft only 6mm, Scorp is 8mm) How can I resist.

I sold my Scorpion because I took a chance at waiting for these, Cool!

That would be a great running boat!

[ray schrauwen]

Thank you Sir!

4mm bolts

[crabstick]

yup 4mm...

All things going well and If I can organise something resembling a cowl I might test run mine this weekend.

[ray schrauwen]

Cool, looking forward to it!

May 25 Ordered 1100KV from HobbyKing via EMS. , last one in stock (thanks Ray)
Next day account read "shipped" with a tracking number, but no email saying shipped
Hong Kong mail and USPS did not recognize the tracking number
June 3 still not here, but account changed last night to "shipped" but without a tracking number and I received an email saying shipped.
I will wait and see if it shows up since no trouble on 30 previous orders.

As for water cooling, I am going to use the simple inexpensive DWI technique described in:
