Speed 280 Motors & Systems

Speed 280 Motors

Both of these 280-size motors are designed for park flyers, or other airplanes that require a 280-size motor. The S-280 is great for stronger climbs and longer flights, while the T-280 provides the muscle needed for aerobatic applications. Both feature a solid can, single wind armature and fixed timing. The T-280 has bronze bushings; the S-280 is a ball bearing motor.

Designed for 7.2-9.6V operation
Factory-installed capacitors
Factory-installed 2-pin female connector, designed to plug into Great Planes C-5 or C-10 speed controls.

T-280GD Motor System

Quicker, stronger climbs, longer-lasting packs, extended flights — gear drives can deliver all three and this bushing-equipped system delivers them all with maximum economy. The bushed T-280 ferrite motor arrives with 2 capacitors and lead w/2-pin connector installed. The gearbox is sealed against dirt and dust, made of fiber-reinforced nylon for impact resistant strength. Equipped with a nylon gear-brass pinion combination that offers smooth mesh and long life with minimum maintenance.

T-280GD ESC Motor System

More power — less work!

It's easy to enjoy the benefits of a gear drive system, especially if it's the T-280GD ESC System. It's complete except for a battery pack — and so completely assembled that "plug-n'-play installation" is the rule. A bushing T-280 ferrite motor is included. The bushing gearbox is assembled and sealed, with the pinion already in place. Plus, all wiring and connectors are included — and attached to another big convenience, an ElectriFly C-10 ESC. Its 3kHz switching rate ensures cool, efficient operation and smooth, easy throttle control. It's easy to get "off the bench," and a hard-working performance package in your park flyer.
