good brushless motors for super cub

[cubflyercameron]

I was wondering what was the best value for money brushless motor for the cub. Any suggestion and where i could get it from?
thanks Cameron

Good luck, that's a bit like asking what is the best value in a car.
You really need to be a lot more specific about what you expect and what your budget is.

Dirt cheap are several towerpro motors. They work but they got a bunch of problems. Some of the Suppo and Turnigy and other motors for a bit more are a bit better. It's a supermarket of possibilities after that. Do some reading.

I'm thinking of getting a eflite 480 from the states with mount and ESC because here in New Zealand it would set me back $180 for the motor alone, so i think i've made up my mind

Thanks Cameron

has anyone heard of emax brushless motors? or if Dynam motors are any good?

[ginginho]

Cameron,
Emax make some pretty reasonable motors, something like the BL2215/25 pr BL2215/20 would suit the SC. I'd advise against using a FC type as the shaft is more likely to bend/break.
Other makes you could look at are Suppo (also known by many other names) and Keda (motor model numbers tend to be KD something).
None of these are as good as the Eflite (AFAIK, I've can't justify paying the 3-4 x price tag that they attract so cannot tell for sure how good they are) but all should be available at roughly a third or quarter of the price.

Thanks for the info ginginho, has anyone every tried this set up?

You would be better off just buying a motor mount off ebay, and buying the electronics yourself from hobbyking, it'll save you some money.

[cubflyercameron]

thanks for that ,
whats the best turnigy motor for the SC?

[Dillzio]

I'd recommend the 35-30C, or the 28-30

[cubflyercameron]

Thanks everyone

so i think this is my set up

Turnigy 30-35C
Turnigy plush 30A ESC
stock prop
4xHXT900 servos
my stock 1300mAH Lipos
and a motor mount off ebay


and for a while I will be using my Futaba attack 4 until i have the money to upgrade

I was thinking about this controller, cgi.ebay.com/FS-Model-9-CH-2-4G-FM-COMPUTER-TRANSMITTER-Helicopter-/160426371857?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item255a282b11 It's round about the same price as the hobby king one except 9 channels instead of 6 so theirs room to expand!

You might as well redo the battery box to mount your battery vertically, and add a couple of 1800-2200ma LiPos to your order.

[cubflyercameron]

I think I'm going to stick with the 1300mAH because i'm limited on money

My Dad doesnt think my old Futaba Attack 4 will work with the set up for some reason and the plugs won't fit, has anyone delt with one of these before?

[shesbreakingup]

Be more specific. What do you mean the plugs wont fit? That doesnt make sense to me.
