Super Power -- AXI Gold Line Double 5330/20 Outrunner


Special power unit based on two AXI 5330 motors was custom designed for aerobatic models of planes up to 16000g. Maximum burst power of this unit reach 6000Watts. DOUBLE AXI 5330/20 GOLD LINE is suitable for use with single propeller but is also ready for two contra rotating props.



Electric motors manufactured by Modelmotors are marked with name and numbers with slash. Name means type of motor (eg.: AXI - brushless 14-pole outrunner, MiniAC - brushless two-pole inrunner). First two numbers mean diameter of stator and next two numbers lenght of stator in mm. Simplified the bigger diameter and lenght the bigger power of motor. The number behind the slash is winding number. The lower winding number the higher RPM and current capacity.

•No. of cells: 10s Li-Poly
•RPM/V: 235 •Max. efficiency: 91%
•Max. efficiency current: 23 - 57A (>85%)
•Current capacity: 75A / 20s
•No load current: 1.8A - 3A
•Internal Resistance: 2 x 45m ohm
•Dimensions (Diameter x Length): 63 x 159mm
•Shaft diameter: 8mm / 32mm
•Weight with cables: 1150g

RCECHO Brushless motor

The article How Electric Motors Work explains how brushless motors work. In a typical DC motor, there are permanent magnets on the outside and a spinning armature on the inside. The permanent magnets are stationary, so they are called the stator. The armature rotates, so it is called the rotor.

The armature contains an electromagnet. When you run electricity into this electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field in the armature that attracts and repels the magnets in the stator. So the armature spins through 180 degrees. To keep it spinning, you have to change the poles of the electromagnet. The brushes handle this change in polarity. They make contact with two spinning electrodes attached to the armature and flip the magnetic polarity of the electromagnet as it spins.
This setup works and is simple and cheap to manufacture, but it has a lot of problems:
The brushes eventually wear out.
Because the brushes are making/breaking connections, you get sparking and electrical noise.
The brushes limit the maximum speed of the motor.
Having the electromagnet in the center of the motor makes it harder to cool.
The use of brushes puts a limit on how many poles the armature can have.
With the advent of cheap computers and power transistors, it became possible to "turn the motor inside out" and eliminate the brushes. In a brushless DC motor (BLDC), you put the permanent magnets on the rotor and you move the electromagnets to the stator. Then you use a computer (connected to high-power transistors) to charge up the electromagnets as the shaft turns. This system has all sorts of advantages:
