I was just on VH site looking at the G-32 specs. How hard are you guys pushing this motor? Specs call out 43 amp max. I am assuming that is constant current. How hard are you pulling on this and getting away with it on 4S?

89 amps at wot . Comes down ball-sack warm . Lipo's get warmer than the motor . I do a lot of floating too though . I have about 3hrs on it so far . Comes to around 25 flights . Time will tell . I got another one for my 55" SHP . Gana switch from 6s to 4s on it too .

what prop and batt is that with? i dont know what the 15x6E i have is doing i have not measured amps in a while but nothing gets more than warm after a 8-10min flight.. i was at 900watts with a 14x7E ~60amps
that 43amp thing is from the factory which is always going to be conservative because CJ's fly with the stick pegged

BTW the container is in, he should be showing things back in stock now or soon

I just got notice today too .

Spaz , That was with a 15x6e APC . I will double check next time I fly it but am pretty sure I was pulling over 1400 watts with it wot . I believe my 14x7 was just under 1200 watts . This is all checked on a WattsUp meter .

Taken from RC Toys.com

Product Description:
Perfect for use in your 40-60 oz 3D-Aerobatic or Scale RC airplane. Works best with 3-5 cell 11.1-18.5V LiPoly batteries.

60oz is 3.75lb and that's on the high end of the description. @ 650watts, that's 173watts/lb if you can get it there. For less than half the money, why not go with the G32 like allot of people. Its like a 1 oz penalty but you get 150 more watts. Just my .02

I put two Flightmax 2200mah4s 20c packs in parallel . I think there the same as my friends 25c packs . Same size and weight but his has thicker wires on it . HC's trying to pull one over on people with those 25c packs .

Got my new G32 as well. Check the bolts that hold the prop adapter on. Mine were too small....luckily, I had a spare motor to rob them off of. Wish I knew what size they are, so I could get some extras.

Dumbass's put the wrong ones in mine too . 3mm x .5 is the thread . Thanks for the heads up Wess . I hate a lack in quality control .

I have a spare prop adaptor that came with bad threads for a turnigy so maybe I got screws with it . Ohh well . To the hardware store I go .
