XPower XC2803/52 : a new F3P/foam motor

[Nicolas PIETU]

Hi,

A new F3P motor is available.

You can find it here: http://www.topmodel.fr/product_detail.php?id=15250

The weight of the XPower XC2803/52 is 16.5g against 19.5gr for an Axi 2203/52.
You can win some grams if you replace the steel shaft with a carbon shaft.
Below 27watts, the tractive efforts of the XC2803/52 and the Axi 2203/52 are alike.
You can see here a topic which compared the Axi 2203/46 and the XC2803/52 about the power used: http://forum.modelisme.com/t140972-c...et-autres.html

Any questions ?

Best Regards,
Nicolas PIETU

Wow, that thing should be a perfect motor for all our 4-5oz. foamies

Might have to try one. But at like $44, not too sure about that.

What a well constructed motor, now I am going to have to pick one up!!! With a 52 wind , is this motor aimed around a 3 cell? Thanks Nicolas !!

Hi John,




This motor is designed for 2 cells. 3 lipo cells is too much.

Thanks Nicolas, I thought so with the 1860 Kv. Im sure some guys will take it to its limits with a smaller prop on 3cells!
