45g 2s gf3018

By matthew saigon on Jun 13, 2021

11 462 3

note: sample motors, so i can't talk about it.

so i built 2s version using the same 1s motor from earlier build.
it's powerful. it's too much for my yard, so i kept it up high. i can't come down and fly it in my yard.

the speed is about the same as 1105/1204 gf3018 setups.
but the setup is much lighter.
45g dry

i always want to build a 2.5" racer. but i can't with what available right now. those motors are either too small to handle 2.5" tri-blade props or too powerful and heavy for 2.5" props. and this build might be it. though i'm not a good racer nor a good pilot in general. but i hope people will like this build.

So its a guessing game...looks like 1203 to me. I wonder how close a guess of 12000kv would be.

can't tell you. LOL
there are only a few options to choose from. LOL

it's good to keep it a secret. the company makes a new motor and they want to make some money of off it. if the business is good, they'd be willing to try again.

me and many people wanting this motor for a long time. it has nothing to do with Bob Roogi and his toothpicks.

Yeah, no worries. Not expecting you to spill the beans. Just having fun analyzing your vid and comments. If its in prototype now I guess the rest of us will find out what it is soon enough.
