24gm 1300kv brushless motor

The 24gm 1300kv brushless motor (also called 2730) is a truly wonderful and versatile motor that earned the nickname "Blue Wonder" (it once had a blue color, unfortunately the current versions are silver) because it can handle a wide variety of props and can be used with 2S or 3S Lipo batteries. The maximum recommended current draw is around 10 amps. The recommended 2-blade propeller with a 3S system is an 8x6, and on our twin-engine models it performs very well with a 9x7 3-bladed propeller. We've used it with a 12x3 prop on a 2S ultra-light Marionette model.

Motor Specs:

RPM rating: 1300kv (no load)

Size: 27x30mm

Shaft size: 3mm

Weight: about 24gms (1oz)

Voltage - 2S or 3S battery

Power - 90 watts approx. at 8 amps (with 3S battery)

Recommended prop - 8x6 2-blade (or 9x7 3 blade when used in twin-motor configuration)

The motor is supplied with the aluminum motor mount.  You'll need a 10 or 15-amp ESC, a suitable propeller, and a propsaver or prop adapter (not included, but we sell these items separately). For best results we strongly recommend using a removeable "threadlocker" compound on the tiny grub screws when securing the motor to the mount.  You will also need some kind of "firewall", we sell them but a piece of 1/8" plywood will work.

We offer several custom-designed 3D-printed spinners specifically designed for the 3-bladed props in varieties appropriate for our models.

This motor is also available in a 1700kv version (we call it the "Blue Monster" and a 3000kv version (called the OMG). All three versions are the same physical size and weight but differ in RRM and current draw. The higher-kV ones use smaller props.
