Anyone using Emax motors for 250 class racing?

[Bartman]

Looking for an inexpensive motor to get a new design in the air and don't want to spend a lot of money, has anyone been using these from HobbyKing?

was looking through the different options again, interesting to see Tiger has two 1806-2300kv offerings.....MT and MN models.

Still wondering if the plastic bell Emax motors are any good.

That looks like a good deal on those DYS motors. I had no idea they were making plastic cased motors. If I didn't already have 3 boxes of motors, I'd order some to try. So whats this project your working on Bart? I just ordered a little Storm Hex frame. It should be neat hearing 6 little motors screaming. Should be here in a week or two.

just bought a small batch of the Emax 1806-2300kv, I guess I'll find out how well they work when they get here!

6 little 5" props screaming should be music to anyone's ears!

i've got two little 250 racers of my own design that I'm waiting to get started on and two AeroxCraft Hornet 250's that I'm waiting on for a product review and NAZE32 vs. SP Racing F3 flight controllers comparison.

lots of stuff planned for the coming weeks, just waiting on parts and I'll be getting started.

Or try to use T-motor MN1806. They are perfect for those who want uncompromising quality.

I use the Emax 2204 motor on the ARRIS X-Speed 250. It works great!

i bought two sets of motors off Amazon from Arris and they're the steel bell version so I'll be using them very soon.

I have the metal emax motors on mine. Still waiting on motor connectors to show.

the motors I got from Amazon are the steel bell version, haven't run them yet but they look ok

I'm running Emax MT2204 2300KV in my 250.
So far it likes 5045 props.

I'm using the new cooling series motors 2204 and they are awesome. very good so far. They feel with more power than the regular 2204.

The plastic Emax motors I think are a gimic. The mounting holes (for mounting the motor) are brass inserts. From an engineers standpoint I can almost guarantee this to be the first point of failure after not too many hours of flying, if not from the brass threads stripping or stretching, then from the inserts coming loose. I would never mix metal and plastic at a stress point and brass is soft and susceptible to stripping and coming loose from the glass/plastic motor base.

Hi @Maymidroix

Sorry for the late response. So far the Emax MT2204 motors have worked great!

 

[Bartman]

I went to use some of mine on a new build but my motor attach bolts are too long......back to the DYS for now but still anxious to try the Emax

 

[mhills51]

They should've come with both bolt sizes.
