I have been told about a fairly new motor.10 cells with this motor and that prop and you had better have a trash can ready. 16amps is the max on this motor.
The motor is the aerix speed 280 brushless. there are two versions: pm516 16
turn 6 to 8 cells, and pm520 20 cell turn 7 to 10 cell. both are $79 from
hobby lobby. It has a 480 output with less amp draw for 10 to 30oz planes.
22m diameter, 48mm long, 48grams weight, carbon fiber case. Recomended to
use jeti 18amp brushless controller. 8cells with 4.7X4.7 prop is 19,400 with
no gear=) Imagine 10 cells with that prop and motor!!!
They are running it on the new "hexcell" NiMh 1100 mah cells that weigh lessAgain, Hecells are at their max current rating as well with this motor. If you run these cells at more than 16 or so amps for very many flights you end up with an 850mah cell very quickly. Use them under 16 and they will last you a while @ 1050mah. Sanyo has a cell out early next year that is supposed to be better than the HECELLS with lower internal resistance. I have two packs of HECELLS for a SPEED 400 pylon racer and love them still.
than 600 AR's and can deliver higher amps!
The closest outfit that I know to a wholesaler for this motor is Nippon Dave at Aircraft World. His price is 50 cents cheaper than Hobby Lobby and $2.50 shipping. He also has HECELLS and Mega motors. The new Mega 16/15/X are great little 400 sized motors as well. www.aircraft-world.com
