Scorpion HK-4020-1390 Brushless Motor - OUTRAGE 550 (6S) (1390Kv)
The Scorpion HK-4020 motors have
been developed for the newer 500 to 550 class electric helicopters that are now
coming onto the market such as the Outrage 550, Logo 500 and Gaui Hurricane 550.
These motors are designed to provide all the power that you can use, while still
maintaining excellent efficiency and cool running
characteristics.
Scorpion HK Series Brushless Motors are built from the
best materials available, and are designed to provide both quality and
performance at an affordable price. Scorpion starts with high quality aluminum
alloy parts that are produced on the latest CNC milling machines. These parts
are then gold anodized to provide a beautiful, long-lasting finish. The stators
are made with 0.2mm laminations to give maximum efficiency, and minimum Eddy
current losses. The stators are epoxy coated to prevent shorts, and are wound
with wire that is rated at 180 degrees C (356 F). The magnets used in Scorpion
Motors are N-50EH style, which are rated for operation at 200 degrees C (392 F),
making a motor that is virtually impossible to burn up in normal use.
All
Scorpion HK-4020 series motors come with 4mm male Bullet style connectors
already attached, and include a hardware package that contains 3 matching female
Bullet connectors for your speed controller with matching heat shink tubing. For
maximum strength, the Scorpion HK-4020 series motors feature an 8mm motor shaft
that is ground down to a 5mm diameter at the output end to fit standard size
pinion gears. Since the HK series motors are primarily designed for Helicopter
and Ducted Fan use, they do not include a prop adapter. If you intend on running
a prop on this motor, you will need to purchase a prop adapter for a 5mm
shaft.
Scorpion Motors are built to last, and are backed with a 2-Year
warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. However, due to the high
RPM of these motors, and the fact that we cannot control the installation and
setup, the bearings are not covered by the 2-Year warranty, nor is any
subsequent damage caused to the motor by a bearing failure. Bearings are a
normal wear item, and as such, need to be maintained and changed periodically.
For maximum life, make sure that a sufficient gap is left between the pinion and
main gear during motor installation to avoid binding, and put a small drop of
oil on each bearing every 10-12 flights. It is the responsibility of the pilot
to ensure that the bearings are maintained properly.
For the best overall
combination of quality, performance, and value, use Scorpion Motors in your
helicopter!
