I raced mine again last night with the 2200 mamba in it and it is pulling
270ma a min any ideas on another motor that will improve my run times that I don't have to turn all of the settings way down to run?
I am trying for 20 min on a 5000mah battery

Probably a 1600kv Medusa 70mm, or the 1550kv Tekin. I'm going to try the 1700kv Tekin tonight, but the smallest pinion I can fit comfortably is a 16 tooth. I'm also going to find out if the Xray XB808 42 tooth spur will fit.

Not really. The only way to get more run time from the motor would be to:
  1. Increase Efficieny (not easy as the Castle Motors are basically Neus)
  2. Decrease kV (and therefore speed)
  3. Go for a slightly smaller motor (but not too small, as it might not be man enough, and will cause heat buildup, and therefore decreased efficiency)

Only thing is, none of these is likely to be enough. According to your readings (270mAh per minute) a 5000mAh pack will get you 18 minutes and 30 seconds. That's assuming that the pack drains completely to 0mAh, which it won't.

I would go with some of the measures above, and a slightly larger battery (like a 5300mAh).


In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
