Hobbywing 30416254 – Platinum C4140 200kV 12S Fixed-Wing Motor
Brushless outrunner for large fixed-wing aircraft on 12S LiPo: 200 kV, 3277 W max power and up to 8.4 kg of thrust on an 18×14 folding propeller.
The Platinum C4100 series is Hobbywing's cruise motor range for fixed-wing aircraft, built for long-endurance and high-speed flight in both hobby and industrial aircraft. The series is optimised for 16–18 inch propellers on 12S. With the standard propeller adapter the motor works in both tractor and pusher setups, and an optional mount for high-speed folding propellers makes it ideal for pusher aircraft with limited space. The C4140 has a longer stator than the C4135 and is the largest motor in the series. It swings 18-inch propellers and gives up to 8.4 kg of thrust on an 18×14 folding propeller.
