Replacement motor for Pz T-28
Bent the shaft of the stock motor and would like a "drop-in" replacement...possibly with more power. What suggestion do you gurus suggest?

RE: Replacement motor for Pz T-28
About 3 yeas ago I went with the 3542 1000Kvr. Lots of power but as stated in earlier post the motor mount will need to be modified.
Here is my testing on this motor:
11.1V 30C - 10x7 APCE - 46oz thrust - 268w - 26A.
This will make your T-28 go vertical. the stock motor is only 168w with the 9.5x7.5 prop.
After about 4 flights the motor mount gave out and I purchased a CNC aluminum motor mount on Ebay for $19.00.
The vibrations went away and I have also since then converted another T-28 with the same motor but 1100Kvr.
The testing results: 3542/1100Kvr
11.1v 30c - 10x7 APCE - 59oz thrust - 412w - 36A.
With the additional 7oz thrust it flys great.
I do really suggest the CNC aluminum mount.
Also, check you ESC some of the older ESC were 30A newer were 25A. I wold suggest a 40A esc with any of the above motors.
The motor is about 2mm longer than the stock so cutting our the cowl to clear the front of the motor will be necessary. This is not a issue and doesnt take away from the apperance of the plane.
