"reversing" an Eco8 motor

[Olivier]

Hi all,

Ta daaaaa.....

First time for 125632 years you come in this "motors and controllers section" isn't it ?

My problem :

I want to use a "Eco8 Sport motor" on a plane. As this motor is optimized for reverse operation I need to change the rotation direction.

My question :

How do I optimize the timing of the motor for better performance ?

Thank's for your help !

Beuhhhhhh ... I don't know ...

Maybe, by setting timing at "O" and making current and speed test at various setting points ...

I know it's not what you wanted to know, but that's just what I can say ...

Best regards Olive and ... take care of your jewellery ! LOL

Before you change it you may concider using a gearbox for more thrust !
I don't know the motor so can you tell me if the timing is adjustable by loosening 2 screws or is the end bell held by tags ?
Also dose it have timing marks on the can ?
Just out of interest what plane are you fitting it in ?

Hi ,

I intend to use this motor in a racer (Edago from Simprop with 7 cells).

I have "timed" the motor for a normal rotation direction... It works !

I use a 5.5x5.5 CAM speed prop
the motor turns it around 15 - 16000 rpm (no sparks anymore...)
