450 motor

[mnentwig]

Hi,

if anybody is considering an upgraded motor for a 450:

Robotbirds has the Hyperion 2221-6 discounted.

It should be equivalent to the Scorpion 2221-6, but with better bearings (or so they say...)

For some pennies more you get this one
http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/scorpion_hk-2221-6_brushless_motor-p-3846.html
which has been tested and approved by yours truly

It has quite crazy power on a 12 tooth pinion, and runs efficient (4:00 minutes "grandma's flying" 3D on a 3s 2200 mAh pack).
I've tried with flat 100 throttle curve - it didn't explode - and use governed 80 % most of the time for longer flying time.
I'm using a 60 amps YGE ESC, BTW.

This motor has really brought my 450 to life...

Scorpionista ja laakereista kun on kyse samassa lauseessa, "eri laakerit" on yhtä kuin "paremmat laakerit".

The link says Scorpion HK2221-6 is discounted. Hyperion equivalent of that motor is Hyperion HS 2221-4400 (HS2221-4400). Anyway I fly with Hyperion motors (only) too
