The Scorpion HK-5035-500 motor will provide all the power you need for the
larger 800 class electric helicopters, those massive electric powered scale
projects or for your workhorse camera platform helicopters that need to be able
to lift heavy weights reliably.
Scorpion HK Series Brushless Motors are built from the best materials
available, and are designed to provide both quality and performance at an
affordable price. Scorpion starts with high quality aluminum alloy parts that
are produced on the latest CNC milling machines. These parts are then gold
anodized to provide a beautiful, long-lasting finish. The stators are made with
high quality laminations to give maximum efficiency, and minimum Eddy current
losses. The stators are epoxy coated to prevent shorts, and are wound with wire
that is rated at 180 degrees C (356 F). The magnets used in Scorpion Motors are
rated for operation at 200 degrees C (392 F), making a motor that is virtually
impossible to burn up in normal use.
Scorpion Motors are built to last, and are backed with a 2-Year warranty
against defects in materials or workmanship. However, due to the high RPM of
these motors, and the fact that we cannot control the installation and setup,
the bearings are not covered by the 2-Year warranty, nor is any subsequent
damage caused to the motor by a bearing failure. Bearings are a normal wear
item, and as such, need to be maintained and changed periodically. For maximum
life, make sure that a sufficient gap is left between the pinion and main gear
during motor installation to avoid binding, and put a small drop of oil on each
bearing every 5-6 flights. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that
the bearings are maintained properly.
