The Power Up 400 Sport is a 1.8 ounce, 1050KV, 400 class outrunner brushless motor that works well on many small to medium size parkflyers. It will produce up to 30 ounces of thrust when using a 3 cell Lipo battery and the GWS 9050 prop. This motor includes an X mount and prop adapter!
The Power Up 400 is a good choice for models such as the GWS P-38, P-40, Me-109, 190, T-6, Spitfire, Corsair, Mustang, Zero, Formosa and Estarter. You might also consider this motor for planes like the popular Super Cub, Mini Super Sportster, Seawind, Sig Rascal, and many, many others.
You can choose to have moderate performance and very light weight using a GWS EP8040 prop and the Power Up 11.1v 1000 20C Lipo battery. If you're looking for high speed, try the GWS HD8060 prop and the Power Up 11.1v 1300 20C Lipo battery. And if you're after maximum thrust and a long flight time, the GWS EP9050 prop and Power Up 11.1v 1650 20C Lipo battery will give you excellent results.
I recommend using the Power Up 20 Amp ESC with the Power Up 400 motor. All Power Up Electronic Speed Controls come with 3.5mm female connectors installed, and male connectors are included for your motor.
MOUNTING OPTIONS: The Power Up 400 includes an X mount that makes it easy to mount the motor in front of a firewall. It also can be mounted on the front of a GWS Plastic Outrunner Mount, making it a drop-in fit for many planes with 10mm sticks. The picture below is for reference only. THE STICK MOUNT MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.
A 3.17mm Prop Adapter is included for mounting props.
Propeller test data when using a 3-cell Lipo battery:
GWS EP9050: 30 ounces of thrust at 15 amps.
GWS EP8040: 24 ounces of thrust at 10 amps.
GWS 8040 3-blade: 25 ounces of thrust at 12 amps.
TP 8 x 4E: 25 oz thrust at 12 amps.
GWS HD8060: 23 ounces of thrust at 14 amps.
GWS EP7035: 13 ounces of thrust at 5 amps.
TP 7 x 6E: 18 oz thrust at 10 amps.
The above data is a result of our own testing using a fully charged 3-cell 1800 20C Lipo battery. Thrust and amp draw may be less with the use of batteries rated at lower amp output, and slightly more using batteries rated for higher amp output.
Propeller test data when using a 2-cell Lipo battery:
GWS EP1060: 21 ounces of thrust at 11 amps.
GWS EP9050: 17 ounces of thrust at 8 amps.
The above data is a result of our own testing using a fully charged 2-cell 1800mah 20C Lipo battery. Thrust and amp draw may be less with the use of batteries rated at lower amp output, and slightly more using batteries rated for higher amp output.
