Brushed motor upgrade for aerobird challenger
I know this plane has already been well covered but I'm looking for a little more push from it. I run mainly 8.6v NiMH but would like to give some 9.6v packs a try. I'll upgrade the electric to deal with it so it's just down to choosing a motor.
Here are few I'm looking at but I'm not sure which will be best, or which will fit. JP EM400 Electric Motor (380/400 size) High performance 380PH motor Voltage = 6 - 10.8v RPM (no load) = 19200 Shaft size = 2mm Weight = 80.2g JP Pro 400 Electric Flight Motor Voltage range: 3.6 - 8.4v, ideal for 7.2v RMP unloaded = 17,000 Efficiency = 78% Weight = 72g Shaft diameter = 2.3mm Motor diameter = 27.7mm The perfect motor for sport/performance electric flight on 6 cells. JP Pro 480 Electric Flight Motor Voltage range = 3.6 - 8.4v, ideal for 7.2v RMP unloaded = 17,000 Efficiency = 69% Weight = 92g Shaft diameter = 2.3mm Motor diameter = 27.7mm The perfect motor for performance electric flight on 6 cells. Which of these look best? I've heard the norm is to put a 480 in it but the spec only recommends that to be run at 8.4v. Many thanks.:) |
RE: Brushed motor upgrade for aerobird challenger
The 480 should be able to be pushed harder than a 400... if the extra weight isn't a problem in terms of CG, then I'd say get the 480. You may have to adjust prop size (downward) if it draws too much for its own good, on 9.6v.
I just saw this: Electric flight items -> Motors 5510374 JP PRO POWER 480 ELECTRIC FLIGHT MOTOR SRP £4.88 * Voltage range: 3.6-9.6V, ideal for 7.2V. * RMP unloaded: 17,000 * Efficiency: 69% * Weight: 92g * Shaft diameter: 2.3mm * Motor diameter: 27.7mm * Shaft Lenght: 12mm |
