The Power Up 450 Slofly is a 2.5 ounce, 880KV, 240 watt, 450 class outrunner brushless motor that works well on many medium to large size parkflyers. It will produce up to 38 ounces of thrust when using a 3 cell Lipo battery. This motor includes an X mount and prop adapter!
The Power Up 450 Slofly is a good choice for sport planes weighing 20 to 40 ounces, and for 3D models weighing 15 to 28 ounces. A nice set up for 3D planes would be an APC 10x4.7 prop and the EZ Flite 11.1v 1300 30C or 11.1v 1500 30C Lipo battery. For a sport flyer, you might consider using an APC 10x7E prop and the EZ Flite 11.1v 1800 30C or 11.1v 2200 30C Lipo battery.
We recommend using a 25A to 40A ESC with the Power Up 450 Slofly motor. Many of our speed controls come with 3.5mm female connectors installed, so no soldering is needed when used with this motor.
MOUNTING OPTIONS: The Power Up 450 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.
A 4mm Prop Adapter is included for mounting props.
Propeller test data for the Power Up 450 Slofly when using a 3-cell Lipo battery:
Rotating propellers are dangerous. Please stay clear of prop and wear safety glasses.
APC 11 x 5.5E: 38 oz thrust at 16 amps.
APC 10 x 3.8: 37 oz thrust at 16 amps.
APC 10 x 4.7: 38 oz thrust at 17 amps.
APC 10 x 5E: 34 oz thrust at 14 amps.
GWS EP1060: 32 ounces of thrust at 13 amps.
APC 10 x 7E: 34 oz thrust at 16 amps.
APC 9 x 3.8: 28 oz thrust at 11 amps.
APC 9 x 4.5E: 26 oz thrust at 10 amps.
GWS EP9050: 26 ounces of thrust at 10 amps.
APC 9 x 6E: 28 oz thrust at 12 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. Other factors, such as ESC timing and variations in actual motor KV can affect the performance of brushless motors as well. We recommend the use of a Watt Meter to test the current draw of your particular power system, especially if you plan to use a prop that pushes the motor near it's maximum amp rating.
