my motor also?

[joeplumber1]

Im running the eflite 520 which is a 1320 kv had to change the shaft but it works
Is that to small ? I know the trex uses a1600 but i had the eflite motor at had dont really
know head speed but like i said its working . Im a newbe so any thuoghts on that one also
be gental please i have a feeling lol.

KV is only half the story. You also need to know how much torque the motor produces. Scorpion makes a really good motor with only 1400 KV that a lot of people recommend. I am running a Turnigy typhoon 1800 KV that I really like. As long as you select the right pinion for your motor, and your battery and ESC can provide sufficient current, you'll be fine. I'm using a 13 tooth pinion on my typhoon, but people with the scorpion routinely use 15, 16, and 17 tooth pinions.

Thanks for the reply i dont know the torque i only used it cause it worked good
on my blade 500 its a fl the trex is dfc. Ilooked at the typhoone and the sk comp
im sure they are close in specs the only thing the 520 is when i give it alot of
umph it bogs a little like i said im a newbee sort of. I can fly it sport dont wont to
flip or anything till the bugs are worked out and the motor is one i beleive. Theress
aa little slop on the bearing blocks also not bad just a little play(side to side) but
you feel pretty good about the tungery(?) motor

I had to replace one of the bearings in it after a pretty good crash, and it's worked great since then. I run it with a 13 tooth pinion governed at 2650 rpm. It has great punch and doesn't bog.

I'm using a turnigy 3126 1300KV with 13t pinion great motor for $20 IMO better than H520 eflite also just pickup a turnigy 3126 1600KV these are a good replacement motor for a 500 size heli with good power

Ive been busy everyone needs a plumber iguess lol. But yeah i ordered
the typhoon should be here soon im running the eflight 70 amp esc should
be good but it says to cut back throttle curve about where should i start
And all i have right now is a 12 pinion bad idea maybe or just get the 13

[Gladius]

What says to cut back throttle curve? I would tell you to figure out what 100% TC gives you got headspeed, and set your TC to then give you the headspeed you want. 12 tooth is fine if you are running ungoverned. I needed a little more overhead for my governor, which is why I went with a 13T pinion.

sorry been busy again the info on the motor said to cut back curve i do have the turnigy 85 amp esc it has a govenor i dont know how to set it up to get the rpm what i want so doing head speed calculator 12t will put me at 2500 on the head at like 80%efficient i have a 13 and would use it if i knew how to set the govenor do you know about that esc
