Title: Next project motor advice
Post by: sigfortunata on December 08, 2015, 05:29:13 pm
Just taken delivery of an aerokits Sea Hornet but I am banned from starting it until the New Year as my wife would like me to join in with Christmas!!


So I thought I would make my spare time useful and at least order the fitting etc.


I am thinking of fitting a 540 brushed motor (tamiya Sport tuned 7.2v) powered by a 2S lipo turning a single 35mm 3 blade prop


any comments on potential performance?


alternatively I could have a foray into brushless technology  {:-{ 


what would be a comparable size/power brushless motor (I have yet to get to grips with this KV stuff)
