motors

[billybutcher]

currently i use the Emax 3510 6ookv which seem pretty good But the thread has got on one already, possible my only fault for over tightening, but a worry neither the less.

So to foresee the future is it worth paying double the price for T-Motors? i could theoretically buy 8 Emax 4008's for the the same as 4 T-Motor 3510's?

cheers Billy

Hi Billy T motors are good but your still mess them up if the over tighten things

Thanks Holtneil, it's good to know. I'll probably get a few extra emax's then and have a couple for spare.

Cheers again. Billy.

Haha always the big decision, save a few bucks or go for top of the line. In my experience, a lot of the time there's really not that much difference and paying for the name. With motors, you're probably going to get the same performance with a cheap motor, it's just not going to last as long

I've got a couple brands ordered to try, Quanum MT 580 kv and Marspower 700 kv. The Marspowers are a little spendy but I read good reviews on them

Cheers Billy

A periodic drop of oil on the bearings is a good thing.

If you're using lock tight i wouldn't worry so much about using 3 out of 4 screws. I've ran on 2 screws on 2205/2300kv motors before with a slightly generous amount of blue locktight. Zero problems. :] I am not worried about them coming undone but with 2 screws I was a little worried about braking the screws with torque. On a 600kv motor 3 is fine if you are tight on money.

Haha I think he can handle the cost of a $.03 screw.

cheers guys, I'm using t-stlye carbon props so only two screws! could add the adaptor but prefer not too.

I was talking about replacing an entire motor from what i understood the mounting screw was stripped. But if a prop screw is missing that can be bad to use 3 screws because of balancing.
I'd rather use 2 screws than 3 if its a prop adapter screw.

Maybe you can try the motor with 7075 aluminium alloy

Thanks guys, I've upgraded to a set of Emax 4008. Which are half the price of the t-motors. Let's see how I get on.

I'm in the middle of installing a set of Quanum MT 4108s. Holy crap, they're the size of a dinner plate hahaha
