Another New hobbyking motor

What motor and mounts are those Brian?

[6BOOST]

The specs on the 56mm motors state that its a 4 pole, the same as TP power says they are so I'd be inclined to think they are 4 pole, and being based off the leopard and probably out of the same factory i'd be doubly inclined to think they are 4 pole just like the leopard.

I received my 4x 5692's in 750kv and 2 more of the turnigy 3994's on monday, now just to build some boats over christmas to hide everything in.

that 60" super daytona on all four (or three) of the 5692's would do some good.

[6BOOST]

You can't remove the shaft in an inrunner to couple them together twinline and too complicated doing 4 drives, the SD will either get two of these or twin 2028's.

6BOOST

Unless its a really cheap inrunner, they bond the shafts in there.

Steve Neu will build you a motor with twin shafts for a few extra $$

I have a 1527 .5Y with 2 shafts. Expensive!!! ... It's for an rc car.

[6BOOST]

It's really not worth it, by the time you run 4 motors, 4 esc's and all the hassle, you could just buy 2x 3080's and have the same power and less mess and hassle, and probably still less money=) this thing doesn't need that much power, 16kw will be ample lol, the saw version will get the real grunt=)

Soooo, I finally received my 1320 5692 today...

Definately NOT a leopard clone. Different core & windings 4 SURE!!
I haven't recieve my TP power motor yet to compare construction. I will follow up.
This motor has 16 steps as opposed to 12 steps for leopard motors. On the inside of a 5692 Leopard there are 12 segments in the field plates. Most likely 99.99% sure the HK motors will have 16 but, it's too hard to count unless I open it up.

For once i am stumped as to who makes these?? Or which brand it is derived from unles HK actually did request a factory to make their own brand.

I will have to consult some other motor GURU's to see if this is a 4, 6 or even an 8 pole like a Neu 2210 I had & sold. Since it has 8mm shaft & more segments the rotor turns easier than my 5692 leo.
The inner windings also stop shorter inside tha can at the rear like a 2210 Neu and unlike a leo 5692 with that looks like a longer stack. Winding wire or insulation on wire is different, much darker. Not sure what all this means. Because stack is shorter. weight is significantly lower at 815 grams compared to 880g.
Specs are rated higher than a leo as per HK and side of box.

Core resembles a Neu or Aqua craft UL1 motor in that looking from the outside in, it looks incased?? Maybe I will take it apart but, I don't really want to at this time.
WIres that exit the rear vent holes should IMO be better insulated with lots more heat shrink or Med. to large size silicone fuel tubing. 4mm ID required and rear vent holes are approx. 9mm in diameter.
I wish they would tell us how many poles it is so I don't fry an esc on testing!!!! LOL, will use cheapy esc on bench I guess.

Definately not 2 poles though.

More to come ! Merry X-mas!!!

maybe it's a neu clone, in that case, hobbyking must really be picking up their game.

[ray schrauwen]

I wouldn't go that far but, we'll see.

[Boaterguy]

I don't mean made by neu, but a copy of what they did with lower quality parts.

[6BOOST]

They are a TP motor, I have both and other than the end bell they are identical. Further than that I have first hand info from Benjamin that TP confirmed they make them but that they have lower quality bearings and magnets. I doubt it, the look exactly the same, sounds to me like they are just trying to cover their ass cause HK are selling them so much cheaper. This would make them a 4 pole motor.

6BOOST

[ray schrauwen]

Well, there you have it. Ben would know if anyone. That bites but, Ben did say he was only getting the HV low kv ones anyway.

Pretty bad, the guy has a horrible beginning to the holidays with 2 deaths in the family and now this adds his plate, not good.

[Brushless55]

So these motors sound like a winner!
And for much cheaper than we could get any where else... :)
Might have to give one of these a try in a big mono..

[Boaterguy]

out of all due respect, i would rather buy the motors from ben, not because they are better but just because of what he is going through and the face that he isn't a big company that only relies on bulk of sales and not customer satisfaction.

[6BOOST]

I'm sure Ben isn't too concerned about the cost of a few motors, if it's not in his better business interests because HK sell them so much cheaper I'm sure he'll just stop carrying them. I personally have 2 of the TP's supplied by Ben and 4 of the same Kv motors from HK, so I can thrash the crap out of the HK versions, and even if I burn them up pushing them hard I'll have a good idea of what they can take before throwing the TP's in.

any more info Ray?
thanks for the update on your findings...

[6BOOST]

Maybe everyone missed my post, the motors are made by TP power, and rebranded Turnigy. Nothing to find out. And they are a 4 pole motor.

Looking forward to your testings Ray, on these Turnigy/TP motors

[FighterCat57]

Interesting for sure. I wouldn't hesitate to get one. Too bad they don't have them in 540kv.

Higher temp epoxy and Japanese bearings are helpful in race conditions, but may not noticeably affect the performance for the bulk of the market.

I'll release what I know once I get approval to do so. =)

Meanwhile... HK has a habit of low cost until popular... With the 6.34 dollars to 1 was in our favor... I could use 600% markup just in currency conversion.
