EDF 2W-20 & Mini480 Personal Notes: Specifications:
Test Video - Not Recommended Exceeds factory recommended range for both the motor and fan.  Hit 1000W for test purposes but need to remind customers this will void the factory and Warbirds-RC  warranty.  Very minor rotor scrapping.  Max 56.3 Amps with solid +800W of power.

 Motor: 2W-20

Test Video - Poor As expected, fairly low performance when the 2W-20 is used with 3s lipo packs.  Max Amp draw was 25.6 Amps with a sustained +250W of power for most of the pack capacity.  The HET-RC 2W is better suited.  This setup did not hit 400W at any point during the tests.
