Operation:

 

1.  Himax Brushless motors require brushless sensorless speed 

controls. 

Failure to use a brushless sensorless electronic 

speed control (ESC) can result in damage to the motor and/or 
ESC.  A Castle Creations Phoenix series ESC is recommended 
for best performance.  The standard setting for timing advance 
is recommended for best operation. 

2.  The three wires of the motor can be connected to the three 

output leads of the ESC in any order.  Check the direction of 
rotation of the motor.  If the motor spins in the wrong direction 
switching any 

two

 of the motor wires will reverse rotation.  Be 

sure to insulate the wires to prevent shorting which may dam-
age the ESC. 

3. 

Do not shorten the motor wires.

  Shortening or cutting the 

motor wires voids the warranty and may cause motor failure.  If 
the supplied connectors are not to be used, remove them by 
desoldering. 

 DO NOT CUT THE CONNECTORS OFF

4.  Allow for proper cooling of the motor during operation.  With 

extremely high capacity batteries, care must be taken to pre-
vent excessive motor temperature.  Overheating of the motor 
is not covered under warranty.  Insufficient cooling can result in 
overheated motors, even when operated at moderate power 
levels. 

5. 

Do not disassemble the motor.  Disassembling the motor voids 
the warranty.  If service is required please return the unit to 
Maxx Products for service. 

6. 

Install the propeller after proper rotation has been determined. 
Consult the ESC operation manual for proper arming and use 
procedures.  Be sure the prop is clear before starting the mo-
tor.  Once the battery is plugged in stay clear of the prop, elec-
tric motors are capable of extremely high torque and can be 
very dangerous. 

7.  Verify the current draw.  Excessive current draw will overheat 

and damage the motor.  Overheating is not covered under war-
ranty.  The current must be within limits at full throttle.  Verify 
the power consumption.  Certain setups will run into the power 
limit before the current limit.  Observe the current and power 
limits, which ever comes first.  The 15-second max current rat-
ing is for 3D or limited motor run applications.  Excessive use 
at high throttle settings when set up for the 15 second rating 
will overheat the motor.  Allow for adequate cooling between 
bursts. 

Himax Brushless motors are manufactured to high standards 

for the discerning modeler.  Designed for lightweight, high efficiency, 
high torque, and durability Himax Outrunner motors are sure to make 
today’s radio controlled models perform.  Please read the entire 
operating manual to ensure correct functionality and best perfor-
mance.  The HC3516-1130 motor is made for medium size models 
weighing 34-45 oz for 3D flight, up to 56 oz for aerobatic flight and 
up to 70oz for leisurely flight.
