The new
350 motor is the same series as in the EPS-300C (Mabuchi RK-370),
but is a higher Kv motor with timing set for the GWS offset
gearbox. This means that it is best suited to the "B" to "D"
ratios, which reduce load enough to turn 8" to 10" props.
For the lower ratio boxes (types 2 to A) the EPS-300C may work
better, especially for 280-class models running at 4-5A.
We've been running the EPS-350-C in the GWS warbirds, and have
found that the 10x6 and 10x8 props work very well with E-Tec
1200mAh 2S pack. With the 10x8, the Mustang does loooong
knife-edge flight!! Stay within 8.4A when using the 2S pack,
or go with the 1200-2S2P (2400mAh) for very long flights at 9A+
with no strain on the pack.
Use the Castle Creations PIXIE 7A or 20A controllers to insure
that your lithium pack is protected from over-discharge, and the
E-Tec Apache SMART 2-cell or 4-cell chargers to be safe when
charging lithium packs (the world's only truly SAFE li-po
chargers).
The EPS-350C should be limited to about 9.5A for long service life.
Exceeding 10A gains little power in exchange for the increased
drain on your battery. The motors provide best efficiency at
6 to 8 amps.
Also note that the thrust figures below don't tell the whole story.
Except, perhaps, for indoor 3D models, airplanes fly on speed.
One propeller and gearing combination may provide tremendous
thrust, but be unable to fly your model for lack of speed.
The higher pitched props below may show less thrust, but remember
that you may need the speed they provide in exchange. |
