Upgrade to a Totally Brushless System for your E-Sky Honey Bee 35Mhz/72Mhz 4-Channel Electric Helicopter (VERSION 1) (This modification has not been tested for the 2.4Ghz Spektrum Brand and is NOT for the Exceed Falcon 40 / Walkera #4/#4-1) |
before flying but the tail motor was even worse. No one really talks about the tail motor, but this is also carbon brushed and it fails even faster than the main carbon brushed motor. Having flown over 2,000 plus flights using the carbon brushed system over an 11.1v LIPO, the average lifespan with tail motor heat sinks installed lasts about 30 flights versus the main motor which lasts about 150 flights. More importantly, the tail motors cost almost the same price as the carbon brushed 370 main motor. Needless to say, it's a money pit and the reason why many have gone to the large CP helis that use belts as the tail drive. While that's nice, I don't like to loose my investment in the any heli. So, I looked at some other ways to change the tail motor. The most common way is to use a GWS Carbon brushed n60 motor which is double the length of the typical n30 tail motor. It used the GWS EP 5030 or 6030 prop found on electric airplanes. The good thing about this is there are no more gears. It was a direct drive system. In other words, no more gear reduction -- so more power. That was nice, but it also suffered the same problem -- It was still carbon brushed and lasted only so long. My solution, get the whole heli brushless. The tail motor on this kit is brushless which means its more efficient than a standard carbon brushed motor. It is cool to the touch which means you can fly all day without having to worry about a motor burnout. No more fuses are required since the brushless motor is governed by the ESC which is proctected with better MOSFET circuits. So while the kit maybe expensive upfront, it will definately pay off longer term. Think about all those carbon brushed main motors and tail motors that have been bought. The cost savings are enormous and the benefits are too numerous.
and brushless tail motor are governed by their respective ESC, so you will not need a fuse mod for the main motor or tha tail motor. Also, no more heat sinks are required as the motor is air cooled when it spools up. Next, while the system can work using a 7.4 volt LIPO, we highly recommend the 11.1 volt 1,000 Mah 25c LIPO battery. It is the optimal battery for providing the necessary power to the brushless motor and ESC. It will also provide a good counter balance weight for the CG of the heli. While most systems just require a brushless motor and an electronic speed controller (ESC). The Integrated four in one receivers require a special dual signal converter. So basically you will need three items to complete a brushless motor system. You need a brushless motor with the correct pinion for the main motor and a brushless tail motor with the proper propellar, the proper electronic speed controllers (ESC), and the special dual signal converter. You will also need to connect the brushless motor and program the electronic speed controller properly on both the main motor and tail motor. We also recommend the SuperBoom (305) tail boom as the ESC wires are very difficult to place inside the stock tail boom to the other side of the heli -- plus it looks cooler.
done all of the soldering work, ESC programming, JST power plug installation, and pre-wiring. We include all the necessary hardware like the motor screws, pinion, and the nylon ties. All you have to do is just install using a screwdriver for replacing the carbon brushed motor with the new brushless motor, install the grub screw pinion, and follow where to connect the various connectors with the provided instructions. |

Here is a short flight using the modified brushless main motor kit and brushless tail motor kit on the E-Sky HBFP FP heli (V1). The video will show how fast this bird can accelerate up, climb, and spin. You can hear the brushless motors purr. The brushless main motor system and brushless tail motor system was tested using an 11.1 volt 1,000 Mah 10c LIPO. The flight time was about 7-10 minutes on average. |
