FLASH HOBBY D3530 1100KV Brushless Motor Fixed Wing Outrunner Motor for Mini Multicopters RC Plane Helicopter Multirotor Quadcopter

I'm using it in an R/C crawler, works like it should.

Motor runs quiet and smooth.

Would order again from this company.

Where do I start? This motor is rated for 7” prop on a 4s lipo. So, one would think it’s a smallish 7” quad size motor right? WRONG! This thing is huge, significantly bigger than my FT C-pack motors. BUT, size doesn’t matter too much if it performs right? The specs I looked up on this thing say it’ll do like 1200-1400 grams of thrust using the prop/battery I stated earlier. I have this installed on an older H-King Glue and Go series SU-27, not a heavy model by any means. It is about 580 grams with battery. This thing flew like a 2cell beginner plane. Maybe 35mph top speed with ZERO vertical. At full speed/throttle going straight, I pull up and it goes maybe 75 feet up before it stalled out. Also, just after 5 minutes of flight with this setup, my 1550 4s battery was down to 3.5volts per cell. This means that not only does this not have anywhere near the power they say it does, but with this tiny 7” prop on this big honkin motor, it’s super inefficient. Now, I haven’t verified any of this with a watt meter, but I’ve been flying, scratch building, and been heavily into the hobby enough to know that this thing is Chinese junk. I would ask for my money back if I didn’t already trash the box it came in…Update: stuck my plane on my food scale, it does indeed weigh 580 grams. I reset it to 0 with the plane on it and at full throttle, it put out 600 grams and then quickly dropped to about 550 grams of thrust. Wow! I have 1806 motors that push harder…
