The Firepower 10 Speed (3536-16) is a 3.7 oz, 1600KV, 500 watt, 480 class direct drive outrunner brushless motor designed for high speed models, and for models where prop size is limited to 8 or 9 inches. It is capable of producing up to 60 ounces of thrust using an APC 9 x 4.5E prop and a strong 3 cell Lipo battery.
We recommend using a 50A to 70A Electronic Speed Control (ESC) with this motor.
The Firepower 10 Speed comes with 3.5mm connectors installed and female connectors and shrink tube are included.
MOUNTING OPTIONS: The Firepower 10 Speed can be mounted in front of a firewall using the 3500 series 'X' mount and the 3500 series rotor end prop adapter, which are included with the motor. You can also mount it behind a firewall, and a 4mm prop adapter can be purchased to mount a prop on the motor shaft.
Propeller test data for the Firepower 10 Speed using 3 cell Lipo battery:
It's a good idea to balance all propellers with a Propeller Balancer before using them on this motor. Rotating propellers are dangerous. Please stay clear of prop and wear eye protection.
APC 9 x 4.5E: 60 oz thrust @ 45 amps (490 watts)
APC 8 x 4E: 46 oz thrust @ 33 amps
APC 8 x 6E: 45 oz thrust at 46 amps (500 watts). Avoid constant wide open throttle.
APC 7 x 4E: 34 oz thrust @ 25 amps
APC 7 x 6E: 36 oz thrust @ 30 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.
