The 4260-06 is a 10.4 oz, 650KV, 1100 watt, direct drive outrunner brushless motor that can be used to replace .46 to .52 two stroke nitro engines. It is capable of producing up to 7 lbs. of thrust.
A friend at our local flying club offered to test this motor on his new 46 class RV-8, and he just loves the performance! Dave is using a 60A Emax ESC, an APC 13x6.5 prop, and an EZ Flite 14.8v 4200 35C Lipo battery. The RV-8 comes in at 6 lbs 11 oz all up weight, so with 7 lbs of thrust, the model has better than a 1/1 thrust to weight ratio!
Here are a couple of pictures of Dave Koblen and the RV-8:
The 60A Emax ESC with built-in 3A switchmode BEC is a good choice for use with the 4260-06, but be sure to provide plenty of airflow over the ESC. If you prefer to use a separate external BEC or a receiver battery pack to power your receivers and servos, then choose the 70A Power Up OPTO ESC.
The 4260-06 will also provide good performance with a 3 cell Lipo battery by using larger propellers. We suggest using a TP 14x7 prop, which will produce about 5 1/2 lbs of thrust. A good battery choice would be the Power Up 11.1v 4500 20C Lipo battery, or you can use two 11.1v 2200 30C Lipo batteries connected in parallel with a Parallel Battery Harness.
The 4260-06 is about the same weight as the E-flite Power 46, and will provide excellent performance on models where this motor is recommended.
The 4260-06 comes with 4mm connectors installed, and female connectors are included for an ESC.
MOUNTING OPTIONS: The 4260-06 can be mounted in front of a firewall using the 4200 series 'X' mount and the 4200 series rotor end prop adapter, which are included with the motor. You can also mount it behind a firewall, and a 5mm prop adapter can be purchased to mount a prop on the motor shaft. The picture below shows the motor without the 'X' mount and rotor end prop adapter attached.
Propeller test data for the 4260-06:
It's a good idea to balance all propellers with a Propeller Balancer before using them on this motor. TP propellers are available in our store, and are nearly identical in performance to APC props. Rotating propellers are dangerous. Please stay clear of prop and wear eye protection.
5-cell Lipo Data:
The following data was obtained using a Kypom 18.5v 4200 35C Lipo battery:
TP 12 x 6E: 120 oz thrust @ 55 amps (1050 watts)
TP 11 x 5.5E: 104 oz thrust @ 40 amps (780 watts)
APC 11 x 7E: 102 oz thrust @ 47 amps (900 watts)
4-cell Lipo Data:
The following data was obtained using Power Up 14.8v 4000 30C (120 amp) Lipo battery.
APC 13 x 6.5E: 112 oz thrust @ 54 amps (820 watts)
TP 13 x 4E: 100 oz thrust @ 40 amps (610 watts)
TP 12 x 6E: 92 oz thrust @ 40 amps (610 watts)
APC 12 x 8E: 90 oz thrust @ 45 amps (680 watts)
3-cell Lipo Data:
The following data was obtained using a Power Up 11.1v 4500 20C (90 amp) Lipo battery:
TP 14 x 7E: 88 oz thrust @ 39 amps
APC 14 x 8.5E: 82 oz thrust @ 41 amps
APC 13 x 6.5E: 74 oz thrust @ 31 amps
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.
