Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

Hey guys!
I am building a X4. My question: would the KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics' (GD-X8 1000 frame) standard motor mounts? I mean the ones it comes with.

Thanks so much!

No they won't. They are too big in diameter plus the shaft collar is too big to fit the hole in the mount anyways.
So you have 2 options.

Best option would be to buy this: http://gryphondynamics.co.kr/product/x-motor-mount-for-coaxialmm-1000cq

Much cheaper option would be to get aluminum spacers and longer 4mm screws to raise the motors up past the arm.

Indeed they don't

I asked Heechul if he could CNC them 3 months ago... He told me he would... He already made the CNC programmation but did not get the time to finish them (lot's of production going on for their new products)... Please send him an e-mail to ask for it... The more we are the better it is... master@gryphon.co.kr

I see! I guess I will pick the second option.

I have already asked him. No answer yet. I am sure business keeps him busy!!!! It is good!

Another question: Do you think the fold-able GD-X8 1000 frame would be likely to vibrate? Do you recommend to get a non fold-able frame?

 

[Amerly]

It's stiff as hell... Very well built junction...

BTW you will need the X-Motor mount anyway (just to be clear)

 

[Pumpkinguy]

It's about 15/32" from the plate to the top of the mount so 1/2" spacers are perfect.

It can take a max motor diameter of 50mm if you machine the hole bigger like I did for a larger collar.

You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My plan:
GD-X8 1000 ffoldable rame with retractable landing gear (or Skyjib x4)
8x KDE5215XF-435 with 18x6.1 props
8x KDEXF-UAS75HV
Wookong FC

+ Canon 5d with very heavy lenses and heavy gimbal.
I would like to have a system which runs almost idle throttle rather than screaming.

Do you think the motors are too big for this frame?

 

[Pumpkinguy]

I think your motors are too big for your application. You have 55 pounds of thrust @ 50% throttle. Way too much.

 

[Miami Photographer]

Thanks so much for your opinion!

 

[Pumpkinguy]

The problem is that if you have enough thrust @ say 20% and you go to start your motors it will fly away. Lol.
You need to sit down with a pad and paper or a spreadsheet and figure out weights of everything and I mean everything. Then you can start your motor, prop and battery selection.

Hey. Just a FYI. There is another frame that looks just like gryphon at half the price. Djs or something. I don't know who copied who but I think they are worth looking at. A member here is a usa distributor. Jeff @FPVOne And his service is second to none.

Thanks so much! I checked the company out! Jeff is truly amazing! Unfortunately, they don't have larger 1000mm frames.

Ok and I also saw one in the classifieds here. New
