How About a Scorpion 2215-22 Motor
The new Scorpion 2215-22 motor is right in between the E-Flite Park 450 and 480 motors in Kv. The Kv of the 2215-22 is 987 compared to 890 for the Park 450 and 1020 for the Park 480. Here is a photo of the motor.
The Scorpion 2215-22 is also quite a bit lighter than both of the E-Flite motors at only 2.16 ounces, compared to 2.5 ounces for the Park 450 motor and 3.1 ounces for the Park 480. Running on a 3-cell Li-Po battery, the Scorpion 2215-22 motor will turn a pretty good sized prop. With an APC 10x5E prop, the motor spins at 7,425 RPM, draws 10.9 amps of current for 115 watts of power, and produces 25.6 ounces of thrust. When you consider that the Mini Ultra Stik is supposed to weigh between 22 and 24 ounces, this gives you better than 1:1 thrust to weight. If you want a little more speed, then you can prop it up to a 10x6 or 10x7 prop and still stay under 14 amps. If you really want to see it come alive, and your ESC can handle it, you can run it on 4 cells with a 9x5 prop and get 10,000 RPM and 35 ounces of thrust, on only 13 amps of current draw! Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the Scorpion motor is quite a bargain too! It comes with a set of gold plated 3.5 mm bullet connectors already installed and comes packaged with a complete hardware package that includes a backplate motor mount, a 5mm threaded prop-shaft adapter, a set of female bullet connectors to match the ones that are already on the motor and the heatshrink tubing to cover them after you solder them onto your speed controller. With all of the accessories included, the Scorpion 2215-22 motor retails for only $44.99! Not too shabby when you consider that the retail price of the Park 450 is $79.99 and the Park 480 retails for $89.99.Here is a link to the motor on the Innov8tive Designs website. Scorpion 2215-22 Motor For a complete look at all the prop data that has been collected on the motor, look at the Scorpion 2215-22 Prop Data Chart. One of the pilots that stopped by our booth at the Arizona Electric Festival had a Mini Ultra Stick. He was running an AXI 2212-26 and wanted more power, and the ability to turn a 10" prop. I suggested that he should go with a Scorpion 2215-22 motor, turning an APC 10x5E prop. He took the motor out of the box and bolted it right to his plane and flew it a few minutes later. He was amazed at the performance increase, and came over to our booth and thanked me for the motor recommendation. I am sure that you would also be very happy with this motor, and at half the price of the Park 480, your wallet will be pretty happy too! Take a look at the website and let me know if you have any questions. Lucien Miller CVO Innov8tive Designs |

Somewhat less expensive than an Eflite and probably better quality is the Hacker A20-22 at 924kv http://www.stevensaero.com/shop/prod...cat=458&page=1

Or the ExtremeFlight Torque 22T/930 - it tested just fractionally better than the Hacker.

If I were you I would get this
https://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITED...idProduct=3883 I don't have that particular motor, But have heard great news about it. There are dozens of other motors on that site that would work. Or if you want really cheap you could use one of those can outrunners by towerpro. UH does not have the right size though. I think they cost $18. I would get on from the MT motors or the hextroniks series, or the "higher end" Towerpro's. I have a MT motor and ave used a hextroniks one before. Physicaly, the Hextroniks looks way nicer. But my 35-30 MT is really powerfull for a 7.5oz motor. I run mine with 5s a123 at almost 60 amps and it only gets warm to touch. The hextroniks are also very powerful and most of the cheap chinese motors are comparable to the Axi, hacker, PArk. etc Just my opinion... simo10 |
