I get no responses when i post in the electric forum so i came here........


I found in my box of junk a little rc motor called an epic 27 it looks like it has two magnets and im pretty shure its brushed. does anyone have the specs for this engine(im looking but i cant find the two batt version). does anyone know if it would be sutiable.....possible witha gear box..... to use it on a Electric aircraft? i would realy like to think the little bugger would run my seniorita conversion, but i dont know.

Thank you for any and all info you can give with this.

Thanks and Gig'em

**edit** this actualy might be a little brushless motor. i think i found one like it on ebay. i wrote the seller and im hoping he tells me what i need to know as far as specs

well i know now its a 27 turn 14 degree(whatever that is) motor........

anybody wanna venture a guess wether it will work(its also brushles i beleive). if so, direct drive or geared ?

EPIC 27?

is this a motor used in rc cars on/off road?
spec27 turn stock motor?
got a pic?

yes its for off road r/c cars. its a stock 27 turn motor. its alos brushed (i misread what i thought it said).


ill work on a pic....its a bright silver can with flattend sides

could it possibly be a slot car motor. Flat sides and timing lead me to that. oups you said it was from an off road didn't you? silly me.

isis

yeah it was from some small(maybe a foot total length) truck

Is this what you have? [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGSZ1&P=7]EPIC stock motor[/link] Typical stock brushed buggy motor for 6 cells. You could probably use it with an 7-8 cell sub-C nicad/nimh pack and a "speed 600' gearbox around 2.5:1 with something like a 10x6 prop. It should be limited to around 20 amps, and could probably fly something like a .15 or lightly loaded .25 size plane. I'm assuming you wanted to use it for a plane?
