the 8000 was my original idea but i have now learnt that i dont need that much and it is too expensive at the moment anyway
will be geting a zippy R pack

depends on the motor..most do not but the Tekno Neus do have 4mm connectors already on but I would remove those unless you are planning a less than 75 amp draw.

people will go with a higher capacity in a pack to compensate for a lower output (less than 20c)

Do you still need a motor? i have a Feigao 10l with RCM heatsink clamp.. pm me if ur interested

Guess what? My 8L can finally separated! Guess I'll have to grind down my heatsink clamp after all. Considering the amount of abuse I've put this motor through I'm surprised it's lasted this long...

[rcsammy]

hopefully my 9L will be ok for a bit without one as mike is out of stock

Yeah, just watch the tail landings. I was giving it too much throttle and jumping nose high. Once the nose is up the damn body acts like a sail making it almost impossible to bring the nose down.

I shaved down the heatsink clamp to fit and pressed the 8l back together only to have the front bearing fall apart after 20ft. Like I said, I've abused this motor. But now I'm thinking of trying the Medusa 50mm.

found one i looked on a UK forum last night and a guy was selling one, unfortunatly its blue, i might de anodise it

edit: sorry this is a bit of a noob question but should i have my esc fan blowing onto the speed controller or blowing away?

Have it blowing down, and space it away from the esc heatsink about 1/4 inch for best results.

Now now, everyone is entitled to their opinions on the use of fans...



... but those opinions would be wrong if they aren't mine.

[rcsammy]
