E-flite Six-Series Brushless 2000Kv Motor User Manual

Six-Series Brushless 2000Kv Motor (28mm x 36mm)

Thank you for purchasing the E-flite Six-Series Brushless 2000 Kv Motor. Six-Series Brushless 6-pole motors
are high torque motors suitable for either direct drive or geared applications. They feature the same diam eter
and mounting hole pattern as brushed 400 and 480 motors so they make excellent upgrades for these cla s ses
of models. Six-Series motors are ideal for direct drive applications such as hotliners and other LMR products
18- to 28-ounces. They are also ideal for 3D and aerobatic models weighing 28- to 35-o unces, and for scale
park flyers weighing 25- to 40-ounces, when using a gearbox. They’re an especially good match for the
ParkZone F-27B Stryker (PKZ1200), flying wings and hotliners when used direct drive, and for aerobatic and
3D models like the E-Flite Brio 10 (EFL2275) when using a gearbox.

Six-Series BL 2000Kv Motor (28mm x 36mm) Features:

• Perfect match for 3D and aerobatic models 28- to 35-ounces (790- to 990-grams) using a gearbox

• Ideal for scale park flyers 25- to 40-ounces (710- to 1140-grams) using a gearbox

• Ideal direct drive motor in models 18- to 28-ounces (510- to 800-grams)

• Ideal for models requiring up to 300 watts of power

• Perfect upgrade for brushed 400 and 480 motors with same diameter and mounting hole pattern

• High Torque, 6-pole slotted rotor design

• Includes connectors, prop adapter, and mounting hardware

• High quality construction with ball bearings and hardened steel 3.2mm shaft

Kv: 2000 (rpms per volt) Io: 1.76A @ 10V (no load current) Ri: .06 ohms (resistance) Continuous Current: 26A* Max Burst Current: 32A* Watts: up to 300 Cells: 6-10 Ni-MH/Ni-Cd or 2-3S Li-Po Recommended Props: 5 x 4 to 7 x 6 direct drive or 10 x 6 to 12 x 8 with 2:1 to 3:1 gearbox Brushless ESC: 35A - 40A (EFLA312B)

* Maximum Operating Temperature: 220 degrees Fahrenheit
* Adequate cooling is required for all motor operation at maximum current levels.
* Maximum Burst Current duration is 15 seconds. Adequate time between maximum burst intervals is required
for proper cooling and to avoid overheating the motor.
* Maximum Burst Current rating is for 3D and limited motor run flights. Lack of proper throttle management may
result in damage to the motor since excessive use of burst current may overheat the motor.

Battery Choices:

There are many Li-Po battery brands on the market with several choices for consumers. We recommend either
E-flite or Thunder Power batteries and list some possible choices for the Six-Series motor, all depending on the
airplane application. NOTE: Battery technology is constantly changing and improvements are made often.
Some part numbers below may change as improved versions are introduce d.

Installation of Pinion Gear & Gearbox:

It will be necessary for you to install the pinion on the shaft if you are using a gearbox.
When installing motors into the E-flite gearbox, it is very important that your gear mesh is correct and the gear’s

mesh is smooth with no binding. The E-flite gearbox features adjustable slotted mounting holes so that you can
ensure your gear mesh is correct. Remember, if your mesh is too loose or too tight, it may strip the gears.
One suggestion may be to insert the polybag included with the motor or a small piece of paper in between the
pinion and spur gear as you are installing them. Tighten and secure the screws to the gearbox. Always make
sure the screws are long enough so they have properly seated into the motor. You can easily pull the polybag
or paper out by rotating the shaft until it comes out. Be certain to check the mesh at multiple points on the spur
gear before finalizing the motor mounting position in the gearbox. To extend the life of your gearbox, we also
recommend using a small amount of grease, such as lithium grease, on the spur gear.

Once a pinion is installed on the shaft, it will be necessary to remove the pinion from the motor shaft if you want
to use the motor with a gearbox that uses a different module of spur gear. If not, the gears may bind and the
motor will not operate properly. We recommend using a gear puller for this step (EFLA212) for the safest
removal of the pinion gear. Never reuse a pinion gear that has been removed from a shaft.

Installing Pinion Gear

1. Align pinion on end of shaft and press fit using a vise for proper installation.

2. Support the aft bearing and shaft using a small hardwood block to prevent both from separating from the
case.

3. Be careful you do not crimp the motor wires in the process and make sure they are safely out of the way.
