Motor choice
« on: May 07, 2016, 03:48:11 pm »
Need some opinions on motors, I'm looking for some 2205 2350kv or 2206 2350kv. Any website I look at for Lumenier motors they are all on back order. I found some Scorpion motors as well that are available but I've never read any reviews on them? Anyone know of any other good motors

How about Tiger motors MN2204-2300 KV ? I fly 2206-2000KV and 1806-2300KV. But recently I started using cheaper motors as well like SunnySky and they seems to work well.

Today May 7th and for a couple of weeks the new Sunny Sky X2204S are being sold for $9.90 at Surveilzone.  These are the redesigned ones and authentic.

If you are looking for top performance you could consider EMAXs Red Bottoms RS2205 ~ $16 at aliexpress.  Or XNOVAS if you don't mind they being $25 and as far as I can tell only being sold as kits of 4 units.

Thanks everyone. I don't care for the sunny sky motors. Have them in my spedix now and they can't handle 4s power. Burnt up 2 motors in the past month or so. I definitely need an update. I will check out the emax ones.

I got RS2205 on Amazon prime for $19 (two days delivery, as compared to Aliexpress with over 30 days, I usually already forget what I ordered, so I stopped using Aliexpress).
On my 250 NightHawk with 6040 props (650 g total) it shoots up at 10% throttle. I had to go down to 5045 props to have it manageable. So far I like these motors.

I have just tested my new le todar 2204 motors with 6040 props. I was planning to go 4s with this, but didn't. Run out 9 3s batteries and went home with 3 4s fully charged. I am scared to run it 4s with 6040... However I think red bottoms would cost me a hart attack... :)

Generally speaking, you must significantly decrease your prop size if you increase your battery cell count.  Don't just say "it will be that much more powerful if I leave the 3s props on it".  You will overheat / burn out your motors.  :(

a good hold up for 4s could be the emax 2204 cooling system, I run it on a 4S 1300 graphene, with 6040 props, I dont have much baseline to compare but it feels aggressive, one punch out it goes in like 3 sec to an altitude I can barely see it.

I run the red bottoms 2300kv on 6045 gemfans and HQ 6045 triples. Come down cool.  Tons of power.  Eats batteries alive though. Must run 1800-2200 4s pack to have even 2.5-3 min of flight. 1300 4s give about 90 seconds
