Favorite P-Mono motor??

[carlcisneros]

I use an Octura x-442 de-tongued and cupped just a bit.

You are right in your thinking Ray.
Generally, most motors with the wires coming out the sides of the can have shorter windings & a shorter armature compared to a motor of the same can length with the wires coming out the back.

Well, when I tear down my P-mono for winter Maint. I'll know what condition my 4092 TP Power (via FC racing) is in. Hopefully the rotor, bearings and stator are all in top notch shape.

I am thinking a 1515 Castle possibly if the TP bites it.

Thos makes perfect sense too.... Hmmm maybe Tenshock is worth a go and they are "Y" winds also... Decisions, decisions...

maybe the wires to the esc ?
the Tenshock does not have the wires like the Castle motor, that could be an easy 60grams lighter

Thanks Carl, Maybe I'll give an old 442 some spit and try it.

The D-12 boys are right on with a 1515/1Y and 1521/1.5D. I ran the 1515 in a couple races and did well with it on my DF33. Since we have cut a half second or better per lap going to a TP 4092/2200kv. I do feel the 1521 1.5d might be better yet and I have one in the box.

What prop works on your DF33 with TP4092-2200? Thats the motor I have. 42mm?

Tenshocks are powerful motors.
Just add a couple of ceramic bearings and you are fine.
Factory bearings are from malaysia at least was on mine.

I run the 1515 1Y 2200KV on my 29" syncron. It runs cool on 4S1P up to an x442 prop (my standard prop is 440), and I seem to get more run time vs. a similar size/kv leopard. Likely a more efficient motor, but since we run different brand packs I can't be sure... my config is hyperion packs + neu motor vs turnigy packs +leopard motor.

And are the two hulls you are comparing the same?
Are both hulls running the same props?

On 2 lap timming runs we ran an M545 and for general heat racing an M445 cut down to 43-44mm. It does run a lot wamer than the 1515. I have since changed to ceramic bearings but haven't run enough to say it is definately better on a watch. But it does seem smoother. Another prop I like is an 45X68 Grimracer which seems to load a little less than an M445.

The 1521/1.5d is my motor of choice, I can prop it w a prather 235 to 245 or X450-455 depending on conditions, I run a DF cyberstorm w 4S2P Dinogy batts. Current P-mono National champion.

More efficient? Really?

[ray schrauwen]

Yes. Neu motors are definitely more efficient than the Chinese knock offs.
