The Power Up 480 Plus is a 3.6 ounce 1000KV outrunner brushless motor that is equivalent in power to .20 to .25 two stroke glow engines. It will produce up to 55 ounces of thrust when using a 3 cell Lipo battery and the APC 11x5.5E prop. This motor includes an X mount and prop adapter!
3.5mm male connectors come installed on this motor, and extra 3.5mm female and male connectors are available, sold separately in our store.
The Power Up 480 Plus is a good choice for many large parkflyers, such as the GWS Formosa II, Great Planes Super Sportster, Eflite Mini Ultra Stick, Eflite Extra 260, Eflite Ultimate 20-300, Eflite Mini Showtime, Hyperion Cessna Bird Dog, Parkzone T-28 Trojan, Parkzone F4U Corsair, Multiplex Acro Master and many others.
We recommend using a 35 to 50 amp Electronic Speed Control (ESC) with this motor. A very good low cost choice is the Hifei 45A ESC.
Good battery choices for the Power Up 480 Plus would be any of our 3 cell 2200 mah to 3300 mah Lipos. One of our favorites for this motor is the 11.1v 2200mah 40C EZ Flite Lipo Battery.
MOUNTING OPTIONS: The Power Up 480 Plus includes an X mount that makes it easy to mount in front of a firewall. A 5mm Prop Adapter is included for mounting props. If you need to mount the motor BEHIND a firewall, we suggest that you consider the 3536-10 motor, as it is similar in size and performance, but the shaft extends from the base of the motor.
Propeller test data using a 3-cell Lipo battery:
Rotating propellers are dangerous. Please stay clear of prop and wear eye protection.
TP 11 x 5.5E: 55 oz thrust at 30 amps. Good choice for sport flying and 3D models.
APC 11 x 7E: 55 oz thrust at 35 amps (380 watts) with a pitch speed of 55 mph.
TP 10 x 5E: 46 oz thrust at 25 amps.
APC 10 x 7E: 46 oz thrust at 29 amps with a pitch speed of 59 mph.
Master Airscrew 10 x 7 x 3-blade: 55 oz thrust at 33 amps with a pitch speed of 57 mph.
GWS HD1080: 42 oz thrust at 35 amps (380 watts) with a pitch speed of 63 mph.
APC 10 x 10E: 37 oz thrust at 37 amps (400 watts) with a pitch speed of 76 mph. Can be used for high speed on sleek models, but avoid constant wide open throttle.
TP 9 x 6E: 37 oz thrust at 22 amps.
APC 9 x 9E: 32 oz thrust at 32 amps with a pitch speed of 75 mph.
Propeller test data using a 4-cell Lipo battery:
TP 8 x 4E: 40 oz thrust at 23 amps (340 watts) with a pitch speed of 51 mph
TP 8 x 6E: 41 oz thrust at 31 amps (460 watts) with a pitch speed of 68 mph. Exceeds recommended maximum watts.
APC 9 x 4.5E: 57 oz thrust at 28 amps (420 watts) with a pitch speed of 53 mph. Exceeds recommended maximum watts.
Please be aware that the battery used can make a tremendous amount of difference in the performance of brushless motors. The above data was obtained using batteries in good condition that were fully charged. 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.
