New Emax MT2205 II 2300KV (red bottom) Race Motor. ~ 1kg per corner~
Just thought I'd start a thread for these in the power systems section.
I got a tester set of these motors on Wednesday and have been running packs through them since. They should go on sale here in the next few weeks.  I applied to test these cause being 2205's I figured they would be at least a little stronger than my MN T motor 2204's. Well it turns out these IMO are going to be the best motor on the market here soon. Here's one of the reasons why - (video by EpicRC)
Cliffs notes: ~ 1000 grams of thrust on a 5" prop. I confirmed this with my turnigy stand and got 950g on a Gemfan 5045 BN. So by swapping my t motors for these I gained right around 800g total.  I also have a set of RCX 2205 2350's and I've benched those at 765g on the GF BN 5045. I don't know how the Emax's are making so much thrust and yes they are a true 2205. The other reason is the build quality. There is zero vertical play in the bell on any of the 4 samples that I have. If the bells didn't spin you would think the motor is a solid chunk of metal. The prop shaft is just long enough for the GF BN and they each come with tons of mounting screws and 3 prop nuts. About the only downside is that they weigh 30g. So compared to say a Cobra you take a 20g weight penalty but for hundreds of grams more thrust. I spent most of today tuning mine on the Racehound for the GF 5050 tris which they spin with ease.
I'm told they're going to retail for $18.99. Very fair price I think. For this quality of motor and this amount of thrust I would pay $25+ without batting an eye. side note: These are the red bottoms which are the 3rd and final revision of this prototype. There is also a black bottom model that makes less thrust. I'm guessing it might retail for less. |

I got one for testing as well and yes, the motors look amazing and extremely well-built. EMAX makes very good motors but they just haven't become that popular. Lack of more aggressive FPV-oriented marketing perhaps. These "Racing" series might change that.
Great to see a new 2205 motor from a company that makes good motors. And yes, they're still including an allen wrench in each motor box. |

Quality of these motors looks good. I will keep an eye on this thread to see how robust they are.
Thank you
