Scott...I had the same problem just happen to me with a magnet coming loose. I opened the motor and tried to reglue it but could get the stator, if it's called that back in and spinning freely. I removed the magnet completely and reassembled the motor and it seems to turn by hand like it did when I first turned it. Magnet force seems to be good. My question:

Do you think will it affect the performance of the motor with one magnet removed?


I would think it wouldn't run missing a magnet, but I am no motor expert! I don't think it would hurt to power it up and see.

Status: offline 		Oh yeah, for the battery. I use a Thunder Power 2100mAh for all out speed because it can deliver the amps needed to produce some nice speed. I also use a the Thunder Power 1320mAh for mild to moderate speed with a Dualsky 2826 motor (1450kv @ 17A) using a 7x5 prop. The SpinMax 2212-6 motor puts out (2200kv @ 28A) using 6x5.5 prop, you can also use a 6x4 prop to reduce the amp draw to about 24A you'll lose a little speed. You can now see the need for different batteries. You have to be sure that the battery is capable of delivering the amps the motor is trying pull through the ESC, which is why you want a 30A ESC. I hope this further helps.

Thanks TB for answering some questions for our fellow forum members. Your information is spot on.

For optimum performance, it's all about matching motor, prop, ESC, and battery. I've been flying my AeroCat with a Spin Max 2212-6, 30 amp ESC, 6/5.5 prop, and Dualsky 1800 3S battery. It doesn't get any better than that for me!
