What to do on a cold, rainy Saturday

[Jeepers]

Ahhh and there is the difference...5s

correct!

speeds in the 70's according to gps.....

I have that 1527 1.5D of yours it swings a 457 prop in my Whip 40 on a Castle 240LV. Runs just fine!

Usually when I make a comparison statement like you did it would be with the same setup as the other person. 5s and 6s on that motor are night and day difference.

Did you run her with the 1717 yet?

Not a chance, its been windy and cold all weekend. Looks like I will have to wait until next weekend now.

I ran it on 6s (6 2s packs in series and parallel) with the same 240LV and 452. it performs better on 5s with the bigger prop. Thats why i posted the 5s set up.

Now on to that 1717!!!!!!!!

I was actually going to run my Sport 40 on 5s but then decided it would be cheaper to buy a 1527 1Y instead of all new packs. I ended up putting the 1Y in my HEAVY AM SprintCat with 6s2p but so far I am not real happy with the speed. I think I am just being to conservative on my prop selection though, next time out I have a couple big props to try on it and see if it wakes up.

I am guessing the 1717 should push a 457 without a problem. I will prob start with a 450 and work my way up.

guys at the Nats were turning 455's on the 1Y motors but this was on hydros.

looking forward to seeing how this 1717 does
I think this is the motor Steven dropped the price on

My 1527 1.5d was in the sprintcat 40 on 5s2p with a hydra 240. I settled on the x455. Power was insane! I had to feather it onto plane or it would launch right onto it's lid. It ran a consistant 63mph with that setup. I considered 6s with a smaller prop, but figured, why even try it with the speed I'm getting. Cant wait to hear how the 1717 does!!

Ray,

Have you had a chance to run this combo?

Later,
