Largest ever made RC electric motor…finally, a real answer for large scale airplane applications!!!

Designed to fly model airplanes weighting in between 30-65 pounds on 10 to 14 LiPo cells, the Predator is born from intensive R&D with new ideas in mind. With triple ball bearing, 20 poles, and integral prop adapter, the Predator 30-8 will swing props up to 30", and develop up to 12.5kW of pure power!

The Predator was used very successfully in a Composite ARF Yak 55, with an all up weight of over 30 lbs, on 14S3P Kokam 9600mAh cells, pulling 220Amps peak, while spinning a RASA 26 x 12 propeller.

The new Predator 30-8 will raise the bar, and set a new standard in electric power.
