EGODRIFT BETA TENGU 4030HT / 800KV

Our EGODRIFT BETA Series is your chance to fly our latest brushless motor creations first and before they’re officially released.

The 4030 HT motors offer yet faster reaction speed, increased power and efficiency and come with a 2.5mm higher base improved cooling.

Our EGODRIFT BETA Series is your chance to fly our latest brushless motor creations first and before they’re officially released (and yes, it’s perfectly safe to run them even though they’re called “Beta Series”, the motors have been used by our team and many other pilots around the globe for well over a year now).

40xxHS vs HT – What’s the difference?

With the new HT generation of 4025, 4030 and 4035 motors we bring the proven and optimized winds of our 45xx sized HS and HT motors to the 550-600 class, alongside a modified (2.5mm higher) base for improved cooling (and even quieter operation, as an unexpected, yet welcome side effect).

The result is a faster switching, more rpm stable motor generation that delivers (even) more output power while eliminating potential amp spikes under heavy load (such as hard 3d flight) and improving flight time.

Which motor for which model?

With the 4030HT (and the freshly introduced 4030 stator size) comes a motor option that fits in between the 4025 and 4035 sizes previously available within the HS range. This allows for some interesting combinations around 7S or 8S setups in the 580-610 class (or especially lightweight, 700 size heli models), as well as for some powerful, yet lighter 12S builds (as opposed to using a 4035 size motor)

Standard kVs for 7S setups on ~600 size models are usually in the 960-1020 range, or around 800-850kV for 8S setups. Your standard 12S build (3d flight) will usually be around 555 to 580kV, a list of popular choices can be found below.

Popular combinations (section being worked on):

• SAB Goblin (Kraken 580 / RAW 580 / Piuma)
  7S: 4030HT/1020kV to 4030HT/960kV
  8S: 4030HT/850kV to 4030HT/800kV
  12S: 4030HT/580kV or 4030HT/555kV
• OXY (5 Meg)
  7S: 4030HT/1020kV
  8S: 4030HT/850kV
• XLPower (Nimbus / 600V1)
  7S: 4030HT/960kV
  8S: 4030HT/850V

For smaller than 580 blades a 4030 sized motor might not be required and we recommend to check out our BETA Series 4025HT models, or the BETA Series 4035HT models if your goal is the maximum power ouput.

DID YOU KNOW?

While we made the decision not to release any specs for the Beta models (as there are simply too many combinations to test them all and there are new ones being added constantly), we were indeed curious for the weight of the new 4030HT model (as there was no HS equivalent). And the 4030HT/580kV that we weighed (as a reference) rang in at exactly 375g, making it ~100g lighter than a 4035 model and only 40-50g heavier than a 4025 size motor.

Please note that the shafts available for the 40xx HS models DO NOT fit the 40xx HT models. Shaft kits for the HT models are of course available as well (and linked at the end of the page).
