Frequently Asked Questions
What do the motor specifications mean?
3536 = 35mm outer diameter, 36mm length. KV850 = 850 RPM per volt. This is the factory power configuration for the PA-18.
What propeller should I use with this motor?
The PA-18 factory uses an 11×7 inch 2-blade nylon propeller (Propeller 117). Use the same spec when replacing the motor, or follow factory recommendations.
Can this motor be powered by a 3S battery directly?
Yes. This motor is designed for 3S (11.1V) operation. 3S × 850KV = ~9,435 RPM no-load, matching the PA-18's power requirements.
What ESC should I pair with this motor?
The factory pairs this with a 40A ESC. When replacing the motor, ensure the ESC amperage is sufficient and matches the 3.5mm bullet connectors.
What should I note during installation?
Verify the motor rotation direction (CCW for standard prop) before installation. Check propeller security after mounting. Apply thermal paste evenly between motor and motor board for heat dissipation.

Description
Replace a burned-out or crash-damaged motor and restore full power to your FMS fixed-wing aircraft. This is the official OEM 3536-KV850 brushless outrunner motor — the factory power unit used across six popular FMS platforms. Running on 3S LiPo at 850KV, it delivers the smooth, efficient thrust these aircraft are designed around. Whether you’ve suffered a prop strike, a nose-in crash, or simply worn out the original motor after extended use, this factory-spec replacement gets you back in the air with confidence.
Pairs directly with the stock 11×7 inch 2-blade nylon propeller and a 40A ESC — no modifications required.

⚠️ Important: Verify motor rotation direction (CCW for standard tractor prop) before installation. Ensure ESC amperage is ≥40A and connectors match the 3.5mm bullet format. Always remove the propeller and disconnect the ESC before handling the motor. Apply thread-lock to motor mounting screws to prevent loosening under vibration.
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect the ESC and remove the propeller, spinner, and cowl from the aircraft.
- Unplug the original motor’s 3.5mm bullet connectors from the ESC.
- Remove the 4 motor mounting screws and detach the motor from the motor board.
- Mount the new 3536-KV850 motor onto the motor board using the included hardware; apply thread-lock to screws.
- Plug the motor’s bullet connectors into the ESC. Verify rotation direction with a brief throttle test (propeller removed) — swap any two motor wires if rotation is incorrect.
- Reinstall the cowl, spinner, and propeller in sequence. Perform a full bench test before flight.
Note: Package includes one (1) 3536-KV850 brushless outrunner motor and motor mounting hardware set. Propeller, spinner, ESC, and motor board are not included.
