Motors & Gearboxes...

There are a bewildering number of motors and gearboxes available to the electric flyer. We've chosen the ones we've flown with the most and with which we've had the best success. You can't go wrong with any of these choices. Feel free to contact us if you need help in making the right selection for your particular application.

Motor and Motor/Gearbox combinations...
 

 

Speed 400 Motors

Graupner Speed 400 motors come in three different voltages, 4.8V, 6V, and 7.2V. They are small, light, and inexpensive. We haven't found it necessary to break them in and it's almost impossible to wear them out. If you do crash one, their low price makes them easy to replace. All include internal noise suppression capacitors.

The number of cells you'll use with a particular motor really depends on the prop and gear ratio, if any, you are using. Drop us a note or give us a call if you need help in making the right decision for your application.

Geared Speed 400 Motors

We stock two versions of Graupner's geared Speed 400 motors. First, we stock the inline, 6V version with a gear ratio of 4:1 for sailplane applications. And second, we stock the offset, 7.2V version with a gear ratio of 2.33:1 for sport applications such as our X250.

Both of these motors are proof that you don't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy electric flight. You'll get a lot of hours of flying out of either one.
