Often referred to as the 'Blue Wonder' (although this version is silver!), the 2712-12 is a small, lightweight, direct drive outrunner motor with BIG power. Weighing just under 1 ounce, it's about the same weight as the GWS IPS system, but can produce about 3 times the thrust! We first test flew this motor on a GWS Corsair using a small 3-cell Lipo and the GWS 9050 prop. The performance really surprised us - the climb rate was close to vertical, and the Corsair was extremely manueverable due to the very light weight. But a GWS Warbird isn't really the best application for this motor. Where it really shines is in small, very lightweight models that normally use the IPS system. Put the 2712-12 in a GWS Pico Cub or Pico Tiger Moth and you'll have a real 'floater' with plenty of power for steep climb outs. Or use it in a little Combat profile plane and out-manuever and out-climb the competiton!
The 2712-12 works well with the Power Up 10 amp ESC, and this makes a good combination for very light applications. Spare male and female 2.3mm connectors are sold separately in our store.
If you are pushing the motor near it's maximum amp rating (10 amps) using a 3 cell Lipo, we suggest using an 18 or 20 amp ESC.
MOUNTING OPTIONS: A x-mount is included, and an aluminum stick mount with heat sink is available in our store.
A 3mm Prop Saver is included with the motor for mounting a prop, or you can purchase a 3mm prop adapter.
