Model: E-flite Ultimate 20-300 10e
Estimated Flying Weight w/Battery: 2.5 lbs
Total Input Watts Required for Desired Performance: 375 (minimum)
Motor: Power 10
Max Continuous Current: 32A*
Max Burst Current: 42A*
Cells (Li-Po): 3
3 Cells, Continuous Power Capability: 10.5 Volts (3 x 3.5) x 32 Amps = 336 Watts
3 Cells, Max Burst Power Capability: 10.5 Volts (3 x 3.5) x 42 Amps = 441 Watts
Per this example, the Power 10 motor (when using a 3S Li-Po pack) can handle up to 441 watts of input power, readily capable of powering the Ultimate 20-300 with the desired
level of performance (requiring 375 watts minimum). You must however be sure that the battery chosen for power can adequately supply the current requirements of the system
for the required performance.
Battery Choices:
We recommend either E-flite or Thunder Power batteries and list some possible choices for the Power 10 Brushless Outrunner motor, all depending on the airplane application.
Battery technology is constantly changing and manufacturers are improving and updating older packs with new ones so the list below may generally have new substitutions.

Operating Instructions:
1.
This brushless motor requires the use of a sensorless brushless speed control. Failure to use the correct speed control may result in damage to the motor and/or
speed control.
Please be sure the timing and PWM switching frequency is set properly on your controller.
2.
When mounting the motor, be sure the correct length of screws are used so damage to the inside of the motor will not occur. We suggest you use the mounting
hardware included with your motor.
The use of long screws will damage the motor.
3.
You may connect the three motor wires directly to the controller with solder or use connectors such as gold plated brushless bullet connectors (EFLA241), which will
also need to be soldered properly to your wires. The three motor wires can be connected in any order to the three output wires or output port on a sensorless
brushless speed control. Be sure to use heat shrink tubing to properly insulate the wires so the wires will not short. Shorting may damage the motor and speed
control.
4.
If you add connectors and you no longer wish to use them, never cut the motor wires. Remove them by properly desoldering them. Shortening the motor wires is
considered an improper modification of the motor and may cause the motor to fail.
5.
When you connect the motor to the esc, check the rotation direction of the motor. If you find the rotation is reversed,
switching any two motor wires will reverse
the direction so the motor rotates properly
.
6.
Proper cooling of the motor is very important during operation. New technology has brought much higher capacity batteries with higher discharge rates, which can
cause extreme motor temperatures during operation. It is the responsibility of the user to monitor the temperature and prevent overheating. Overheating of the motor
is not covered under any warranty.
7.
You can install the propeller on the motor shaft after you have confirmed proper rotation direction. Also consult the instruction included with your sensorless electronic
speed control for proper adjustments and timing.
8.
Once the battery is connected to the motor, please use extreme caution. Stay clear of the rotating propeller since spinning propellers are very dangerous as the
motors produce high amounts of torque.
9.
Never disassemble the motor. This will void any warranty.
Reversing the Shaft:
This Outrunner motor has a shaft, which exits through the rotating part of the motor. If you want to reverse the shaft to exit through the fixed part of the motor, follow these
instructions carefully for changing the shaft installation. Be sure to use the correct sized wrench or you may strip the set screw.
NOTE:
The user assumes all liability for damage
that may occur.
1.
Loosen the set screw on the shaft collar and remove the collar from its location against the bearing.
2.
Remove the small black donut washer that rests against the bearing.
3.
Loosen the two set screws in the rotating part of the motor.
