Dualsky GA6000.8 180KV Brushless Motor
The Dualsky GA6000.8 is a powerful second-generation brushless outrunner motor developed for giant-scale RC airplanes in the 55–60cc class. Its 180KV winding is designed for high-voltage 10S–12S LiPo power systems and delivers the output required for large sport, 3D, aerobatic, and UAV applications.
Unlike the extended single-shaft GA6000.8S, the GA6000.8 uses Dualsky’s standard bolt-on propeller hub configuration. This makes it suitable for conventional giant-scale electric installations and gas-to-electric conversions that use the standard GA6000 propeller mounting arrangement.
Designed for Giant-Scale Aircraft
- 55–60cc class electric aircraft and gas-to-electric conversions
- Giant-scale sport and precision aerobatic airplanes
- 3D aircraft weighing up to 10 kg (22.0 lb)
- Sport aircraft weighing up to 17 kg (37.5 lb)
- Large UAV and specialty aircraft applications
Key Features
- 55–60cc Class Performance: Designed to provide electric power for aircraft traditionally powered by 55–60cc gasoline engines.
- 180KV Winding: Optimized for high-voltage 10S–12S LiPo power systems and large-diameter propellers.
- 6,800W Peak Power: Rated for up to 6,800 watts (9.2 hp) of peak output for 15 seconds under the manufacturer’s specified operating conditions.
- 3,500W Cruising Power: Rated for up to 3,500 watts (4.8 hp) of cruising power for up to eight minutes.
- Standard Propeller Hub: Uses the standard GA6000 bolt-on propeller-driver configuration rather than the extended single shaft used on the GA6000.8S.
- Large Propeller Capability: Designed for gas-style propellers from approximately 22 × 10 through 25 × 10, depending on battery voltage and aircraft setup.
- High-Efficiency Outrunner Design: Dualsky testing reports motor efficiency exceeding 90% under optimized operating conditions.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Large 90.2 mm (3.55 in) motor diameter, 24-slot stator, and 28-pole rotor configuration for giant-scale power delivery.
Recommended Power-System Range
- Battery: 10S–12S LiPo
- Operating Voltage: 30–51V
- ESC: 130A–160A high-voltage brushless ESC
- Propeller Range: 22 × 10 through 25 × 10, depending on the complete power-system setup

Installation and Setup Notes
- Verify that the GA6000.8 standard propeller-hub configuration matches your aircraft and motor-mount arrangement.
- Confirm adequate firewall strength and reinforce the airframe as required for the motor’s torque, power, and weight.
- Use a 130A–160A HV ESC rated for the selected battery voltage and expected current.
- Use batteries capable of safely supplying the required current without excessive voltage sag.
- Begin testing with a conservative propeller and verify current using a wattmeter or telemetry system.
- Do not exceed the 140A burst-current rating or the propeller manufacturer’s maximum RPM limit.
- Provide unobstructed cooling airflow to the motor, ESC, and batteries.
- Balance the propeller before installation.
- Check propeller hardware, motor mounting, rotation direction, and throttle calibration before flight.
Actual current, power, RPM, thrust, and flight performance vary with battery voltage, propeller selection, ESC timing, elevation, temperature, airframe weight, and installation conditions.
