[nomore]

Ditto!

Great customer service as I ordered the wrong KV on accident.

Wicked fast. :cool:

Started with a 2600kv Wicked motor, 3S 1320. Went to it's bigger brother, the 3000kv and 3S 2100 battery. Pushing 90+ mph using the 4.7x4.2 prop.

Bravo Don,

Thank you so much for taking the mystery out of finding a motor that really works.
Your site has real numbers for real modelers

I have two McClain Wings with your motors that are absolutely perfect for your motors. . Have over 50 flight on my don's wicked jr in the 36" wing running various 3s packs and mainly the apc 4.1X4.1.....absolutely the best running small motor I have purchased . . .so much so I bought a few more. :D

thanks

[Diggs]

Well, took a while but I finally snapped some pics. These push this wing very nicely. Need to get some dopplers, but I am guessing it is all over 140mph with a 4S 5000mah CK Yellowjacket lipo.

Well I don't know if this is a first, But its a first for me... Here is Don's Wicked outrunner 5400Kv in my RC18R road/drift car. I like the way the motor runs because this thing has torque from you know where :censored: . In the famous words from Dale Sr. "Horsepower sells cars, Torque wins races" I run this geared pretty high and on a 3s Lipo this thing rockets down the road...

Nice pictures guys! Keep them coming!

[Trex974]

Hi Don, I've tried my wicked 4000kv in my electrifly with a 3S align battery (23A and 39500tr/min at full throttle with the hyperflow, 260W, 125km/h (78mph)).
Now, I want to go faster and I've put my 4S hyperion VZ 2000mah but I can't get the correct C.G with this battery (250g, it's 100g more than my 3S align).
So how did you put a 4S battery into it ? Did you put your fan back? Do you use lighter batteries ? Thanks for help.

[The Don]

The lipo was all the way back in the cockpit and I was still nose heavy on 4S from the recommended CG point. I just added a few clicks of up trim and went on my merry way :) At high speed you will not notice it, only when landing as you need to hold more up.

Don

[BARNESJONR]

More of mine, this time with the armament attached. This was the first time I ever flew it with all the goodies hanging under the wing. Next time, I will launch with elevator on high rates. I about yanked the elevator stick right through the bottom of my DX7 trying to get her to climb on the launch! :p

My buddy Terry snapped the photos for me. He is very good with MY camera!! He also has his own DSLR but we need to get a BIG lens for him too. :D

[fh64_lucky]

Now them are some sweet pictures!Nice work.

Here's my Stryker with a Don's RC outrunner. The motor weighs less than the stock motor, cost less than half as much, gives unlimited vertical, and comes down cool as a cucumber. Thanks Don!

I've got a several EDFs with Wicked power--all in various stages. Here's a couple as the others are still "under construction" :)

[tailslide5_0]

Here is my Alpha A-4 (before I crashed it) powered by a Don's 4800 motor, Pentium 40 esc and Alpha 5 bladed rotor. As far as I know, she was the fastest Alpha A-4 back then, clocked while flying straight and level at exactly 120 mph w/ radar. :)

Heard too many stories of failed hand launches, for my first EDF. So I gave it "some" power,...and a rudder,... and reinforcing, (thanks to RCG). Still made DIY gear.
Love those runway takeoffs and landings. Crashed and rebuilt many times.
Pretty fast for little investment (105+). Gonna build another just like it when I have time. Great "Sunday Flyer"

Ordered the Wicked 4000Kv from Don a couple of weeks ago for an EDF model plane (as an upgrade), but plans changed since the motor I originally intended to use for my HK-450 (a T-Rex clone) was way too weak (it was an E-flite BL400 3500Kv brushless outrunner). Since 4000Kv was still in range for this 450-sized heli, I decided to swap out the E-flite for the Wicked 4000Kv, which was a GREAT move.

This motor is perfect for a 450-sized heli, has LOTS of power and spins up the rotor beautifully on low timing and medium spool-up/motor start rates. Very impressed by the performance of this motor in my heli, and would recommend this motor for anyone looking to beef up their 450 for 3D performance.

Here are the specs for my particular HK-450 heli...

Motor: Wicked 4000Kv w/11T pinion
ESC: Castle Creations Phoenix 35-Amp
Servos: HXT-900 for CCPM 120, Futaba S3114 for tail servo
Gyro: G401B
Battery: LiPo 3S 2200mAh 25C/50C

Thought i would show some apreciation to Don.

One of my Wicked powered EDF's. Art Tech Su-27 with modified intakes and full flying elevators. Wicked 4800 motors with CC Phoenix 35 ESC's running on a pair of 2200 3s lipos at 650~700 watts. Straight line speed is nothing special due to the slightly draggy airframe but climbing power is awesome.

Also have a Kyosho F-4 running a Wicked Extreme 5400 on 3s, upgradeing to 4s shortly.

It should scoot and it has alot of thrust.

[rcwck]

Most are Wicked 4800 on good 4S, a few are Wicked 5400 on 3S, using Pentium 60 and 40 esc's. MPH range 85-135. Watts 400-900. I love the 4800 on 4s using the Wattage 3 blade power fan(Gaui Delta).

[Smokescreen38]

I have many flights on the stock Phase3 EF-16...and I love it. The one powered by Don's Coolwind 4000kv, a 3 blade Eflite SF fan and a 4s pack is in a completely different league though. Its extremely fast (~100mph) has brutal vertical (unlimited or damned near)...yet still light enough to enjoy! The perfect setup for this plane, IMO.

Yes, that would be my living room. The carpet is aging quite well. ;)

Those other, slightly more scenic photos were taken in Vineyard, Utah. I grew up in the area and my folks still have some land down there. It's really nice in the winter because there are a lot of nice fields to land with the ski's. There's also a sod farm close that the owner lets us fly on on Saturdays all year round.

6 x 4.5 36a--28.5 20,500 RPM-- 87 mph (EST)

(my test) 6 X 5.5 39a--28.5 19,000 RPM-- 90 mph

Pentium 40 ESC----------$40
3a (switching) BEC

1.2 oz (33 g)

Total wt = 3.6 oz

Aircraft wt. w/3S 2200 mah LiPo = 24 oz

It was necessary to reverse the factory motor mount to use the Don's Wicked 2700 motor, as I could not reverse the propellor shaft.
This required drilling a new mounting hole and tapping it.

Here's my jet fleet. ...so far.

With stock intake/exhauast tubes, what are most guys getting? mph wise?

Do not laff to much...it flies really good.The kids at the field will love this one.Got the test flight out ofthe way today at lunch,powered by Dons wicked(dont hate me Don for using one of your motors on it!)60mm fans.It of course is not fast but dang it looks cool on the low passes! :)
Lil Video I got dont today.

[fh64_lucky]

This is my Vasa F-5.I used my ole reliable BI3600 but instead of a 70mm fan,this jet would only take a 64mm.I happen to have a 64mm housing that accepted the motor,and cut down a HET 6904 70mm rotor down to 64mm.The result is 825 watts at 49 amps!Test flew it today and it all went perfect,in the 110-120mph range,I will get video next time to verify that.This jet has no intake ducting,but that did not hurt performance to much I guess,there is a CF wing tube joiner running inside so any attempt to install a duct would be a pain! Anyways,here are some pictures.

[fh64_lucky]

Doppler Don? A few passes should be around 110mph I hope...:)

[Dowquest]

Here's my 42" wing, Somehow it grew from 36". Had it all laid out in Goolge Sketch up at 36", followed all my specs, and it wound up at 42" . ? All I know is it flies awesome, will have to get some vid soon

[rcnewb]

Here are some in-flight photos of my AMX EDF jet powered by a Wicked 4800Kv motor. Don dynamically balanced the 64mm fan unit which I purchased with the motor. The fan runs as smooth as silk with absolutely 0 vibration, it's by far my smoothest running and best-sounding EDF powered model. Total power draw on the 5-blade 64mm fan is 41 Amps WOT. Top speed is approximately 85-90mph, nearly twice as fast as the stock AMX setup.

[The Don]

Doppler Don? A few passes should be around 110mph I hope...:)

The passes in the middle and towards the end were in the 118-122mph range :D assuming a temp of 20C

[fh64_lucky]

Dang,without any intake on it,I guess I will leave it as is,Thank you Don! Looks like the BI-3600 found a home for a while...:) Joe
