Typical uses:
1) GWS EDF 64 on 3S lipo. Great for GWS F-15 or any GWS 64 on 3S
2) Alfa EDF models, strong 3S performance on 3S, missle opn 4S with 5 blade alfa fan!
3) Executive Jet for power upgrade over stock fans or any SF fan powered model on 3S.


Wicked Cool Wind 4000 Link to motor (http://donsrc.com/cart/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=62)

Here is some test data:
3S lipo with SF fan (3 baldes): 37,500 rpm, 23 amps,250 watts, 20 oz thrust
3S lipo with XF fan: 42,500, 17 amps, 190 watts
4S lipo with 50mm Haoye 7 blade fan: 47,000 rpm, 455 watts, 33 amps
4S lipo with SF fan (3 blades): 49,000 rpm, 450 watts, 32 amps

Typical uses:
1) Executive Jet for power upgrade over stock power system.
2) Alfa EDF models on 4S with Alfa 5 blade
3) Electrifly L-39 on 4S in stock fan or Haoye 50mm fan
4) Eflite F-15 on 4S for 900+ total watts


Note: All testing was performed at approx 74F temp with ThunderPower Extreme 3S 2200mah and 4S 2200 mah V2 lipos. Data was collected using an Eagletree Micro Logger in "Live" mode. A DonsRC Pentium 40 ESC was used set to "Low" timing. Motors were mounted in the Afla EDF housing but no inlet or outlet ducting was attached. Your actual RPM and amp draw will vary with ESC, lipo, ducting, exit nozzle sizes, and actual motor KV value. The number posted here are representative of the "typical' motor and I have done my best to try and give you the most accurate test data I can so you can make an educated and informed decision.

XF fan from Hobby People F-16 with a Long Max 4S 2200 lipo.

"...4S lipo with 50mm Haoye 7 blade fan: 47,000 rpm, 455 watts, 33 amps..."

Don-- Is this data for the 51mm Haoye or the 50mm? The 51mm has 7 blades and the 50mm has 6 blades. I'm working up plans to build a Sukhoi Su-33/37 to be about the same size as the EDO F-15 and I'd like to go with scale sized intakes and nacelles. This motor makes a lot of power for not a lot of amps in the small fans. Have you flown this set up or have thrust figures?

What's the diameter of the 4000Kv motor?

Thanks,
Mike

[The Don]

It was the 7 blade rotor so must have been the 51mm. I do know it needed the standoff adapter to fit inside. I have no thrust numbers as there are too many variables on thrust, inlet size shape, outlet size shap, ducting length etc. So that is why I do rpm.

Would the 5400Kv be advisable to use on the Haoye 51mm 2" seven blade fan? You have the 4000kv on 4s...

[The Don]

It will be in the 450 watt range which is a lot of amps on 3S. I guess it could be done.

When you get a chance you may want to update the charts to include the E-do fan units....

Thanks for pointing that out. I sure will!

Don,

I am curious. If I use the wicked 5400kv under the parameters that you define, with the applicable fans - is life expectancy pretty solid?

[The Don]

I only publish data for applications I am comfortable the motor being used. What fan are you lookng at?

Don

[typhoonmaster]

Hyperflow or the 51mm Haoye seven blade...3s only.

I will be using it with a Suppo 50a esc. The timing settings are as follows: I should program it under the last setting, correct?

••••• — 5 Short + 1 Long 1º - For 2-4 Pole Inrunner Motors *
••••• — — 5 Short + 2 Long 7º - For 6-8 Pole Motors
••••• — — — 5 Short + 3 Long 15º- For 10-14 Pole Outrunner Motors
••••• — — — — 5 Short + 4 Long 30º - For 10-14 Pole High-RPM Outrunner
Motors

[The Don]

The Wicked 5400 will be fine in those fans on 3S. You want the lowest timing so I would go with the first one. My ony concern is the Suppos ESC, I think the rpm limit on them is 46k rpm for a 6 pole motor, that is why I do not sell them as they will not work on all motor/fan combinations.
