Greetings,

I just acquired an E-flight EFLM108 brushed motor with 4:1 planetary
gearbox that has a reccomendation of a 11x8 prop. It's speced for 7-8
cells of nicad. I'm wanting to run 3-cell lipoly (11.1v). I'm not
too concerned about the voltage but I can't find any spec that says
max current or input watts. I don't want to grossly overpower it but
I don't mind pushing it a little. I haven't used brushed type motors
or nicad/NIMH cell in a long time. All my brushless motors are
400-2000 watts and won't do for the plane I have in mind. Any
suggestions as to max current/watts this thing will stand without
smoking? I'll be sure it gets adequate air flow. Just don't want to
burn up the brushes.

Thanks,
Art

I'm not familar with the EFLM108 but I did ruin a Zagi 400X motor with a 3
cell LiPo.
