[timnilson]

do these motors both use the 20awg wires?

Yes, they do.

Hi hi Tim!

Ca I use this motor (FM4008, NX4008) with the new QAV500 copter and the Graupner E-Props 10x5? They are with a 8mm shaft...
Can I use the 30A DJI ESC and the NAZA?

Thanks

You can use both of these motors with the QAV500. However, you will need a locating ring (reducer) to bring the Graupner E-Prop down from 8mm to 5mm. Graupner makes a carbon fiber ring and some shops sell an after-market aluminum ring. Without this, you will not be able to use this prop on any of the suitable outrunner motors for the QAV500 (not just the NX-4008 or FM-4008).

Do you have the available with a short shaft to use the screw on type adapter? I see it has the three holes on top so would like to use those instead of collets. along with that do you know the spacing of those holes in the bell?

No, I do not have a short shaft version of this motor. The FM-4008 does not use a prop adapter or collet. The spinner screws right onto the threaded shaft.

I finally got a set of graupners to test. The reducer ring is taller than the thickness of the hub! I had to clamp it and cut it down with a hacksaw... Very strange that such an expensive ring has to be modified! Other than that the props were nicely balanced and fly well at high speed. On the thrust stand, I found that a 11x5 graupner is the equivalent in thrust to a 10" apc... but slightly more efficient (4%).

Ya those are the ones i like. Do you know if that spinner will fit these? Opviously with a little shaft trimming.

Yeah it would be great if someone could share if they had the above combinations (DJI ESC + FM4008 +Naza FC).

Just received my QAV500 1.1 frame but my local hobby store was out of Tiger MT-4006. Should have ordered these and the ESC together with frame .

I now sell Graupner E-Props and the needed spacer rings in 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. For the NX-4008 and FM-4008 you can use the 5mm rings, which will fit both motors.

Nice motors! Have you tried them with SimonK firmware? Looks like these pancakes are not happy with that, but it´s being worked out.
