"Table Talk" - BeeRotor Z2207 2780 Kv motor review for use in park jets

Hi Everyone -

I just shot this video giving my thoughts and a review on the BeeRotor Z2207 2780 Kv motor from RC Timer😊

This motor when paired with the Turnigy AE-45A ESC with custom settings (22.5 degrees timing and 24 KHz PWM frequency) is one of the top performing quad racing motors using the 6x4 APC gas prop on 3S that I have tested thus far.  It is very close to the performance of the EMAX RS2306 2750 Kv motor that currently leads the pack of quad racing motors I have tested thus far.

You can read all the details of my bench testing with this BeeRotor and many other motors on my motor test spreadsheet.  Simply scroll along the bottom to find the motor that interests you.😊

Links to the props and ESCs discussed in this video.

• 6x3 KMP prop (Banggood); 
• 6x3 TGS prop (Hobby King);
• 6x4 APC gas prop; 
• 6x4 APC electric (knock off from Hobby King); 
• Turnigy Plush 40A ESC; and
• Turnigy AE-45A ESC.

I now have put 100 flights through the motor I am showing in the video and it is performing as well now as the first time I flew it.  Very smooth, strong and durable with very good torque and acceleration and top end speed almost equal to the EMAX motor.

As mentioned in the video, it is not as expensive as many of the other top end motors and paired with the fairly inexpensive Turnigy AE-45A ESC is the best value for top end motors I have tested thus far.

You can read Ryan Harrell's evaluation of this motor at his website following this link.

I would also encourage you to check out rcplanepirate's YouTube channel, he has been instrumental in helping me squeeze as much power as possible from these quad racing motor setups in my park jets.

Very pleased with how this motor performs, especially considering it's price😀

ESC Showdown #3 - Turnigy Plush 40A ESC and Turnigy AE-45A ESC - 22 Feb 2018

Hi Everyone -

I was at the field again today for another comparison session with the Turnigy Plush 40A and the Turnigy AE-45A ESCs, this time pushing them both a little harder with a higher Kv quad racing motor.😊  I chose to experiment with the BeeRotor Z2207 2780Kv motor from RC Timer as it has a pretty good amp draw and is close in torque and overall power to the EMAX RS2306 2750 Kv motor which is the top quad racing motor I have tested thus far.  You can read the full bench test results on my motor test spreadsheet, each motor has it's own page, so please just look along the bottom to find the BeeRotor motor.😊

Here is the flight video of today's testing.

As mentioned in the video, on the bench, this motor paired with the 6x4 APC gas prop produced about 15 gr more thrust at full throttle with the Plush ESC on default settings.  With the custom settings of 22.5 degrees for timing and 24 KHz for the PWM (pulse width modulation) frequency, the Turnigy AE-45A allowed the motor to produce about 20 gr more thrust at 50% throttle.  With the AE-45 ESC, it also pulled about 3 more amps, drawing 38.2A at full throttle.

I flew a total of 6 flights using this motor and the AE-45 ESC, I honestly couldn't see any difference in performance between it and the Plush.  Throttle response was very smooth and the BEC (battery elimination circuit) worked very well, no issues providing power to the servos when being pushed a little harder.  From what I saw today, as long as the custom settings are selected on the AE-45, it and the Plush are interchangeable performance wise.  As I mentioned in the video, my Plush ESC is a few years old and is V3.1, the current Plush sold at Hobby King when you click the link above is V4.2.  The BEC has been changed, but I have no idea whether any of the internal processing has been changed in any way to further optimize motor performance.

I will be shooting a video in the next day or so giving my overall thoughts and review of the Turnigy AE-45A and the HobbyWing Platinum PRO 40A ESCs as they compare to the Turnigy Plush which I have been using for many years😀
