The 2409-18T is a direct drive outrunner brushless motor that works well in models weighing up to about 48 ounces. This motor is very similar in performance to the 2409-12T, but works best with the larger 10 and 11 inch props, and is a little more efficient. Producing up to 30 ounces of thrust, the 2409-18T will give you great performance in a wide variety of planes. The 2409-18T is nearly identical in weight to the 350 brushed/geared motors that come with many kits. And the plastic stick mount that comes with the motor makes it a drop in fit for many models. A firewall mount and plastic stick mount are included, along with mounting screws. You will need to drill two holes in the plastic mount in order to attach it to the motor. Please look closely at the pictures to see how and where to attach to the plastic mount. Always check the tightness of all motor set screws when installing motors. The set screws require a 1.5mm Allen wrench.
Propeller data for 3-cell Lipo batteries (11.1 volt)
GWS props fit the 3mm shaft on this motor perfectly - no adapter needed. APC and Master Airscrew props require a prop adapter or prop saver for a 3mm shaft (available in my store).
The APC 11x5.5E prop produces about 30 ounces of thrust at 17 amps with a pitch speed of 36 mph. Avoid constant wide open throttle.
The GWS EP1170 prop produces about 29 ounces of thrust at 17 amps with a pitch speed of 42 mph. This is my favorite prop on this motor. As long as you have very good airflow over the motor, you can run very hard with this prop, and you'll have very nice speed. Great for sport aerobatic models!
The APC 10x3.8SF prop produces 29 ounces of thrust at 16 amps with a pitch speed of 25 mph. Good choice for 3D flying.
The APC 10x4.7SF prop produces 28 ounces of thrust at 16.5 amps with a pitch speed of 31 mph. Avoid constant wide open throttle.
The APC 10x5E prop produces 29 ounces of thrust at 14.5 amps with a pitch speed of 37 mph. This prop is a good match with this motor, and gives a nice combination of thrust and moderate speed with a relatively low amp draw.
The MA 10x7 3-blade prop produces 26 ounces of thrust at 17.5 amps with a pitch speed of 42 mph. Great for scale looks. Avoid constant wide open throttle.
The APC 10x7E prop produces 26 ounces of thrust at 17.0 amps with a pitch speed of 46 mph.
The GWS EP1060 prop produces 26 ounces of thrust at 14 amps with a pitch speed of 43 mph. Very nice on the GWS Warbirds and sport /aerobatic flyers.
The APC 9x3.8SF prop produces about 25 ounces of thrust at 13.0 amps with a pitch speed of 30 mph.
The APC 9x4.7SF prop produces about 25 ounces of thrust at 13.5 amps with a pitch speed of 38 mph.
The APC 9x6E prop produces about 24 ounces of thrust at 14 amps with a pitch speed of 46 mph.
The MA 9x7 3-blade prop produces 22 ounces of thrust at 15 amps with a pitch speed of 46 mph.
The APC 9x7.5E prop produces about 20 ounces of thrust at 16.5 amps with a pitch speed of 51 mph.
The GWS HD9075 prop produces about 20 ounces of thrust at 16 amps with a pitch speed of 52 mph. Excellent for high speeds.

Power Up' 20 Amp Brushless Motor Electronic Speed Control
The 'POWER UP' 20 Amp Electronic Speed Control (ESC) weighs only 0.6 ounce, works with most brushless motors, and comes pre-set for use with 2 & 3-cell Lipo batteries. It has several programming options that can be set with a program card, but no card is needed for most applications when using Lipo batteries.
This speed control automatically detects wether you are using a 2 or 3 cell Lipo. The motor cut-off voltage is 3.0 volts per cell, and the motor shut down is gradual, allowing you time to position the model for landing.
The 'Power Up' 20 amp ESC comes with the motor brake turned off, so the propeller will spin freely when the plane is gliding (transmitter throttle off). The brake can easily be activated using your tansmitter, and you can also change the timing with your transmitter for use with inrunner motors.
PROGRAM CARD for POWER UP Electronic Speed Control options: $8.50 + $2.00 shipping
The PROGRAM CARD is available to change several settings on the 'Power Up' series of Electronic Speed Controls. The program card is very easy to use, and has NOTHING to do with a computer! You simply set some little pins on the card, and with your speed control installed in a model, you attach the 'Power Up' receiver plug to the card and connect the battery. You'll hear a single beep, and that's it - the programming is done!
1. Selection of battery type. Choose between Lipo or NiMh/NiCD. Comes pre-set for use with Lipo batteries.
2. Motor cut-off voltage. Choose between HIGH or LOW. (3.0v/cell or 2.7v/per cell for Lipo batteries, and 0.9v/per cell or 0.7v/cell for NiMh batteries) Comes pre-set for 3.0v/cell Lipo cut-off.
3. Type of motor shut down. Choose between a gradual motor shut down or a sudden motor shut down. Comes pre-set for a gradual motor shut down.
4. Type of throttle response. Choose between linear (normal) throttle response and logarithmic throttle response. Comes pre-set for linear throttle response.
5. Motor brake on or off. Comes pre-set with the brake off. This setting can also be changed with a transmitter.
6. Timing for outrunner or inrunner motors. Comes pre-set for use with outrunner motors. This setting can also be changed with a transmitter.
