Prestige 2PK/3PK motorsetup

Lots of motors setups are available for F5J, F3G and GPS models . Samba stocks several alternatives and have also developed and helped test specially designed propellers and motors

The Prestige 3PK comes with only one size nosecone and that is for 30mm spinners,
One can fit most normal F5J motors including the bigger Dualsky 3040/3045 series or other motors.

- Our special GM10x6C.L prop and 30mm C.L spinner fits well to the nose.

- Latest adition to our product range is a Optimal power setup for Prestige 3PK Light and Sport versions. This uses a new CCM 9x5 and spinner well suited for 3PK.

Dualsky XM3036EG-11 + leomotion Slim 50A + DOGCOM 560mAh 4S + spinner CCM 30/5+ propeller CCM 9/5. So We have expanded our range of products with a 9/5 propeller from the manufacturer CCM, which is beautifully aerodynamic and fits nicely on the fuselage in any position. 

Because of the wider 3PK nose and slim controllers one can now put controller beside battery far front in nose.

Its fixation to the shaft is not a collet, but two opposing screws.

It is therefore necessary to grind a contact surface on the motor shaft. It is a good idea to occasionally check the tightening of the screws after a very hard landing to check if the cone has not shifted and rotates freely. 

The Prestige 2PK comes with 2 different nose cones.

• 32mm nose cone is specially suited for slightly bigger motors and we have together with GM developed a special 10x6C.L propeller / 32mm C.L spinner that fits especially good on this nose. Together with a canned outrunner Dualsky XM3040EG-9 or XM3045EG-8 on 4 cells this setup is very powerful but still saves space as they are shorter than most geared motors. XM3040EG-9 is a nice multipurpose while the XM3045EG-8 is a beefed up version that can even be used for GPS light class / 2,8kg models. 3S battery is also possible with less climb rate
  The Dualsky motors and GM props we try to always have in stock as they are popular for top competition pilots. We also stock various other motors/props/spinners/batteries/regulators. Our dealers also usually have these in stock.
  
  
• 30mm nose cone is suited for those using smaller diameter motors and/or spinner/props that need a fairly straight and round fuse to fit.

A good F5J motor should give a climb rate of 12-16m/s deppending on weight of complete model with/without ballast. To get a good climb all parts needs to be good and fit each other. Using wrong type propeller or a bad battery can give you bad rounds or even destroy equipment if they get too hot. Too small regulator (ESC) can also give you a poor day at the field. Lots of motor setup testing have been done by Jo Grini with different setups and weights HERE: http://jojoen.no/div/2020testingmotor.pdf
