YUSHOP66 A2212/6S 2700 Kv Park Jet motor updated with new results 10 Nov

Hi everyone -

A couple months ago when I was searching around for alternatives to the Focal Price 2700 Kv motor http://www.focalprice.com/YO090X/A2212_2200KV_Outrunner_Brushless_Motor_for_Airplane.html which at the writing of this post is still out of stock (been that way for about three months now), Rob Davis one of our followers told me about this motor from an ebay vendor in China http://www.ebay.com/itm/321227178111

Here is a picture of it with the bullet connectors, X motor mount and prop installed.

The dimensions and weight of this motor are exactly the same as the Focal Price and Deal Extreme 2700 Kv motors I have already tested.  It weighs 66 gr/2.3 oz with all connectors and prop installed.

Just like the FP and DX motors, you need to provide your own bullet connectors and a prop collet, the one that comes with it is the same quality as the one that comes with the Focal Price motor so I replaced it with a better one.  Shipping with this vendor is free, but it was slower than with Deal Extreme, the package was shipped 08 Oct 2014 and I received it 07 Nov 2014 on the west coast of Canada.  It may very well take longer depending on where you live.

At $10.99 it is a bit cheaper ($1.30 cheaper) than the FP or DX motors, but if you buy 3 motors from DX, the price is the same per unit $10.99 per motor.  I think this vendor buys up 25-30 motors at a time from somewhere and then resells them.

After a break in period, I retested the motor and received more realistic results, updated on 10 Nov.

This test was done with a 6x3 EMP prop, Turnigy plush 40A ESC, 2200 3S 40C discharge battery.

At 50% throttle, the motor drew 12.7 amps and produced 150.1 watts and 517 gr/18.2 oz of thrust.

At 100% throttle, the motor drew 35.7 amps and produced 421.8 watts and 1033 gr/36.4 oz of thrust.

So definitely a 40A ESC is needed with this motor like it is with the FP and DX motors.  Here is a video of some field testing I did with this motor in my RCP F18 V3

Thanks again to Rob Davis for finding the motor for us, it is definitely the same motor as the Focal Price and Deal Extreme 2212/6 2700 Kv motors and another source to purchase from depending on availability.

Cheers,

Scott
