Such a great video! The data doesn't lie. I'm in the process of building myself a test stand after I just fried a motor. Should save me some money. Thanks!
Hi Bryan, Glad you found the video helpful. Sorry to hear you burned a motor. Hopefully it didn’t cost a plane as well. Always a good idea to test. I recently made a discharger that could easily do double duty as a test stand. Here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/EGYGC7xI5fg/w-d-xo.html Good to meet you and thanks for the comment.
I've used these motors! They are a great size/power for some of the Flitetest planes, like the Storch, Simple Cub, and Sea Duck (2). I also have one in a Hummer 3D, a 39" wingspan 3D profile plane. Props used: 10x6, 11x3.8sf, and on the Sea Duck 8x6 3-blade (2).
Hey Erik, I do not have a 1450kv (/5), but I do have a 1250kv (/6). There is a watt meter test at 11 minutes in: th-cam.com/video/uu3CvbhrDGo/w-d-xo.html A 200kv difference comes down to about 1” of diameter (lower) on the prop for the /5.
I’m really enjoying this series and it’s kind of nice you are showing you are learning along with us. Meaning you could have just cut out the part with the power supply. You’re being honest with the things you try. Are you planning a comparison video? Like maybe a Turnigy G32 to a Cobra, Leopard and Rimfire?
Thanks David. I’m definitely learning. Every time I try something on that stand I learn something new. Very happy to hear you’re enjoying the series. I’m kind of hoping the methodology of figuring out what’s best for the platform the RC pilot chooses is coming through. Dialing a motor in with voltage and prop size pays dividends as we saw with this test. I ALWAYS flew that motor on 3s but it makes more power and thrust with less amp draw on 4s. Super cool to be able to figure that out. Thanks for your comments as always. J
So I am running same motor with 11X6 prop, seems that it is quite a load but I am flying mostly half throttle so no problems. When I am holding the fuse on hand with full throttle model wants to climb. With a 9X6 prop there is not enough thrust so it can take off my hands as with 11X6 Nevertheless do you think 9X6 would be better in the air. I know very general question not sure if it can answered. Nice equipment by the way.
Diameter dictates torque. More diameter = more torque. So it makes sense an 11x prop is pulling harder than a 9x prop. It's not just a question of prop size though. You also have to make sure when you prop up like that, the ESC and battery are equipped to deal with the current demand. Of course a smaller prop creates less load so less current = more flight time but less thrust.
I'm running a 60A esc that looks to handle it ok, doesn't get very hot, I'd say normal temp, besides I am mostly flying half throttle, same with the battery, it can handle it ok.

You're on it! I used to fly these on Mustangs. They're great economical motors and they make great bench top bullets too! Thanks for participating.
Great bench test man! If you got a Turnigy 3536/5 motor laying around, I would really appreciate a bench test of that. All the best, Erik

A series of shoot outs is one of the first things I thought of. Definitely on the radar.
RC Video Reviews Yep, now to figure out what plane to match with that motor and prop on 4S.

Dose it have a reverse
Can it rotate front and backwards
