turnigy xk40-60 1500kv

[stampy]

Any body have any info on it? its 1500kv but says it is only 4s, that seems low for 4s, ive got a 5s nanotech 4ah on order. Would it be ok to run this motor an that voltage? and also is this a 4pole motor? i hate to 2 pole kd36 3500kv I have now.

tanks for the info guys!

Its the same motor as tacon and leopard, so its should be an decent 4 pole motor.

I havent runned it, but when i spin the shaft on x4082 and castle 1518, the castle one is like 10 times more notchy (stronger magnets i belive).

for the difference of $ ...... I preffer leopard ..... only cost about +15usd and you will have the quality warranty of leopard :D

Im pretty sure it is exactly the same motor as tacon and leopard, it doesnet mather which one of those you choose.

¿you tested/compared a leopard and a turnigy xk on the track using the same setup/car? the exterior of the motor is nothing ..... the most important is in the interior of the motor ...... we dont know if the quality of the interior components is the same ......... the leopards costs about +30-40% ..... and is possible turnigy use lower quality magnets/components for arrive at this prices ........

I had many 2 pole motors from hk and are a waste of money .... the price was great but the quality is poor ...... before speak I recommend test this motors and compare with leopard ....... and after speak

probably I will buy one of this xk for test .... are crazy cheap but we dont know the quality

That might be true, but i still believe it is exactly the same as leopard because it have the same dimension, kv and amp rating.

finally I bought a xk3665 ...... when I tested will show my opinion :D

Not sure if this is to any help

That would be a four pole motor. Just count the segments on the shaft.(Under the fiber wrap stuff)

It looks neat and clean to me.

Now measure the laminations to the nearest one thousands of an inch.

great photos ....... the quality seems the same than leopard ...... the rotor is exactly the same build method

ive had 3 hk motors all have been solid, yet i blew apart a lehner xl lol go figure. the motor is bought and paid for along with a crap ton of other stuff (that damn place is like walmart you go in for bread and milk..$100 later you leave). now all im doing is waiting for there stupidly long process times :(

that 4082 looks good. I just have to check with my leo 4082, but at least in the 4074 the armour looks not so beautiful like in that 4082 (pure carbon fibre), it's kinda glued, like in the 3650 pics.

For that money, great motors.
