400T is a powerful brushless motor to be used as direct drive due to its high performance and high thrust. With 3 cell Lithium Polymer pack and GWS 8x4 prop (or) APC 8x6E prop this 400T brushless motor can power all kinds of airplanes including all of the GWS War Birds and Sports Planes (up to 20 OZs) with ease. This set up provides an excellent flying speed and as well good flight time.

We recommend the 8x4 GWS HD propeller (or) APC 8x6E prop for great performance and efficiency.
Mounting: Can be mounted directly on to the motor mount or onto the airplane 400 frame with the provided X frame. We have a lot of motor mounts for you to choose from.
Recommended brushless speed controls are Thunder Bird 18 Amp (or) Hifei 18 Amp can be purchased from our website.
With a fully charged 3 cell Lipoly pack (1800mAH Fullymax eXtreme pack) the 400T motor with GWS HD 8x4 prop generated 10800 RPM 9.6 Amp and 19 Oz of thrust.
With APC 8x6E prop it draws about 12 amps and with 9x6 prop we got a current draw of 17 Amps. We recommend you to use either the GWS 8x4HD (or) APC 8x6E prop for a balance of power and long flying time.
An excellent choice as a direct drive motor if you want to fly fast and with authority.
We flew these following planes with very satisfied results:
