Comparing Speed x00's to Outrunners

[CurtissP40]

For my purposes, power input in watts is a good starting point for making a decision about what motor to use. Obviously, there is much more to consider - such as what prop was used to determine power, thrust, weight, etc., etc.

I have 3 brushed motors in planes and am looking for a reference that rates speed x00 motors by power input at least. I would like to replace those motors with my outrunners.

It would be real nice if I could find power ratings for Speed 200, 280, 300, 400, 450, 500 and any others I may have missed. Having that information would be of use when considering a new project/model.

:D Thanks in advance for your help :D

Take a look at the Hobby Lobby catalog... they give max amp draw ratings for most Speed can motors. Otherwise check out the GWS tables, or go to Graupner and see what they have to say about their motors.
