Overview
Cobra CM-4008/36 Brushless Multirotor Motor
Cobra Brushless Multirotor Motors offer performance and value for Your RC Models. They are built from high quality components, and are designed to give years of top-level performance. All Cobra Motors are shipped in a custom designed package that features protective foam on all sides, with separate compartments to protect the motor and accessory pack.
The Cobra CM-4008 series motors have a 4.0mm motor shaft for extra strength, as well as oversize ball bearings to support the shaft and provide a long life. The stators are made with 0.20mm laminations for maximum efficiency and minimum Eddy Current losses. Since these motors are typically soldered directly to the speed controller for reliability, and often need to be cut to length for the specific installation, the CM-4008 motors come without bullet connectors and feature extended pre-tinned motor leads that are 17 inches (430mm) long. These motors also have 3mm threaded holes in a 19x25mm pattern on the back plate for easy installation on your model.
The CM-4008 series motors allow for multiple propeller mounting options. They have a set of four of 3mm threaded holes located on a 12mm circle for directly mounting carbon fiber props that use two 12mm spaced holes, or to mount the included bolt-on style prop adapter. This prop adapter has an M6x1.0mm thread for holding traditional multirotor props that have a 6mm center hole. The included prop washer and nylon insert prop nut provides a solid attachment for your propellers that will not loosen up and slip during use.
Included with every Cobra CM-4008 Series Motor is a complete accessory package which contains the following items:
● Two M3x10mm Prop Mounting Screws
● Four M3x8mm Prop Adapter Mounting Screws
● Machined Aluminum Bolt-on Style Prop Adapter
● Machined Aluminum Prop Washer
● Locking Prop Nut with Nylon Insert
● Machined Aluminum Top Plate for Carbon Fiber Props
