Motor Test

Introduction

There are many power systems now available for the trex which provide really excellent power and make the trex a lively and fully 3-D capable machine.

In this test I am not looking at trying to create maximum flight time. This test is looking to define which motor(s) provide the maximum power for 3-D flight with a secondary consideration to amp draw and efficiency. All using a standard 2100mah 3S pack.

There are a few motor solutions for the T-Rex 500 but three of the most popular for 5S operation are the stock Align 500L, the Scorpion HK3026-1900kv and the Medusa 36-50-1600 V2. All three are capable of delivering 3D performance but how do they compare?

The following test looks at amp draw, RPM hold under full load and RPM during pitch pumping as per the normal TrexTuning bench tests. So let's get on with it and separate the good from the mediocre.
