INSANE! Nearly 5000 watts for a 78" Plane • New T-Motor AM780

In this video we'll take the T-Motor AM780 out for a spin in my ExtremeFlight 78" Extra NG. Then we'll measure the power and thrust to see what kind of power this motor makes. Thanks to T-Motor for sending the AM-780 out for review.

I have the Sunnysky 40CC 190KV on a Pilot 78" Extra NG. It would not surprise me to learn that these 2 motors are made at the same factory.

[@RCVideoReviews]

There is definitely overlap in manufacturing. There is a guy out on RCG who tried explaining this to people even to the extent of disassembling different brand motors and measuring every dimension to show the only real differences were in color/graphics. He got skewered. The brutal truth of it is many products we use in this hobby share production/manufacturing facilities and differ by little more than a label. There are exceptions of course. I've spoken with the owners of Precision Aerobatics and they say their factory is owned and produces only PA equipment.

Which ESC do you use with that Sunnysky motor?

[@TheCabledawg1]

@@juanfeliperinconcolmenares6730 I use a Castle Talon HV 12S ESC. It has a Beefy BEC. I also use a tiny 2S lipo as a battery backup. I run the BEC and the 2S through a diode, so if one of them stops working, the other takes over.

That poptop is very cool John!

Wait till you see the AJ Slick!!! OMG!

[@fidelmuchina]

Guys you reviews are so good, keep it up. May you show us, landing with Flaperons on a 3D plane. Looking forward to it.

[@RCVideoReviews]

I don't really use flaperons on 3D planes. This link shows you how to mix spoilerons. Just invert the premise so they go down instead of up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml7Mk3ewpbVrraM

Awesome

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks!

[@davidpaker626]

That motor looks good, Sounds good, performs good. It must be good. 😁

[@EJ-74]

NIIIIICE 👌🏻

[@Shawnlh]

Did you happen to weigh this motor?

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

That wattage is Power Used, not power put to the Prop, there should be an effiency factor included in the paperwork to say how many Watts in for how many Newton Meters out. You never said anything about the prop size or pitch, both of which matter to power used. The vertical acceleration looked like fun :)

[@RCVideoReviews]

From Hacker: hackermotorusa.com/resources/rc-brushless-motor-application-guide/ Electric motor power is stated in watts. 750 watts = 1 horsepower. An easy way to estimate power needs for RC hobby applications is to use 100 watts per pound for sport flying, 150 for aggressive aerobatics, 200 watts per pound for 3D flying. We use watts per lb as a good relative indicator of performance which is why I include that measure along with t:w in the calculation. You don't follow the channel I guess. Prop size was covered in the maiden: 22x10.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@RCVideoReviews The magazine is just quoting Power Used, not Power Generated, which will be in Newton Meters or Shaft Horsepower, though it can be rough estimated with power used multiplied by the efficiency factor of the motor. I did follow the channel, but that doesn't mean I watched every video.

[@jas-FPV]

Or go down to 10s

[@RCVideoReviews]

Yeah, lots of ways to get there.
