Mike Hardy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi, I am going to use a EnerG 3520 Motor in my Tucano project but have forgot the code for body dia and length. Looked on the JP web site for the motor but cannot see any reference to size. I think the size is linked to the code '3520 but i am not sure. Anyone on here know the size? Mike.

Tony Smith 7 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 35mm diameter, 20mm length in that example. Edit, I should say that's the normal convention. Edited By Tony Smith 7 on 21/02/2013 12:41:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, I should say that's the normal convention. Edited By Tony Smith 7 on 21/02/2013 12:41:47 That's a 30-45 amp motor with a 5mm shaft, it will be longer than 20mm.

Mike Hardy Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks all for the info Is it possible to mount this motor via the 4 (M3) holes in the front plate? or use the adaptor? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The motor can be mounted either way. But if you mean using the "X" plate on a firewall then you will have to push the shaft through to project from the opposite end from that shown in the photo. However IMO whichever way you intend to mount the motor you'd be better off getting a Turnigy equivalent for about 1/3 the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Have to agree with Pat......over 60 quid for a 450watt motor is a staggering amount of money these days.... There are many places where you can get a much better deal....Hobbyking, Giantshark, 4-Max, BRC/Robotbirds to mention only a few.....

Mike Hardy Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 OK Thanks all; can anybody recommend a 450W ish motor with a bearing both ends of the shaft and doesn't shed magnets? Ive read the posts on here but cannot make up my mind. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Maybe this....or this......or this.... I've used quite a few of the Turnigy motors & found them good vfm.....no shed magnets....yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hardy Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks Steve, I have read that some of the budget (low price) motors only have one ball bearing do you know if the Turnigh motor has two ball bearings. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hardy Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have decided on the Turnigy SK3 3536, looks a good motor at half the cost of the EnerG 3520 Thanks Steve and PatMc!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 All the Turnigies I've seen have two bearings Mike.....I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
