Default RE: FUNJET

Just to give you guys a heads up

MicroDan has a motor that will work on reg. ESC. By that I mean in the past if you run 4 cells or more you had to have a ESC with a switch rate of 16 hz.

So he now has one that will work at least with a scorpion brand ESC ( I used a 90 amp)
Numbers
2700kv...... out runner.....stronger mags. then in his current motors...reduced number of mags. on bell.......different wire pattern....with prop on the motor it clicks to each mag. field
makes a very cool sound when it free wheels ( high whine )

4 cells Turnigy 2650 30-40 c 10% used
APC 5.5x4.5 prop
amps 59 -60
watts 750 -800
weight less then 2 oz

Field tested on site using my FunJet...No radar but est speed around 125 mph with tested APC prop unlimited vert...does not slow down at all

Switched motor last night onto Stryker test bed will fly this am as it's due to hit 100 here today

Video to be shot this weekend

So we now have a 60 -70 dollar motor.... lite weight.... will run on 4 cells maybe more...and you can use your ESC not e-flight brand which is limited to 60 amps.
GREAT customer service...will make you a custom motor if you want....Oh and Dan uses perm sealed bearings

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!!!!!!!
