HPR C5009 Bulletproof Animal build.

[KillerDave]

will like to see what they say, i have smoked 2200kv leo's on 6S and taken out the esc at the same time. That was in the first run, with a new motor. 2200kv on 6S is 48840 rpm unloaded.....

Take a look at Manuels 3 day build

exactly this spec' apart from the motors and it runs great!
What are your sugestions???

[KillerDave]

BTW, What timing did you run???

[BlackSnakeRacing]

cant remember exactly what the timing was, was either 11.25 or 15deg. You may get away with the 2200kv, i'm just going of what i have read and my experiences. I was running it in a 42" deep V which will probably make a difference in temps from what you will find. To be safe if it was me i would run the 2200 on 5S (40700rpm unloaded) but even that is in the SAW range. TP and leo are different quality, the TP may be able to handle the higher rev's better than a leo, i am unsure on this as i havent run a TP but unless you are running the exact same setup you can expect different results in some way.

Thank you for your input, It has given me some food for thought...

TP motors are better than Leo's. With that high RPM you need to start with smaller props measure temps, and gradually go up with the props not to burn up everything on first try...

Completely understand... Thank you, I have just sent TP an e-mail but, Do they have outlets? Who can I buy from???
Also, I have info on the BEC on the ESC's, no good over 6s??? Can I disable it and run a receiver pack?

Thanks for your help norbique!

[BlackSnakeRacing]

To disable the BEC and run a reciever pack all you need is a servo extension, remove the red wire from it and plug into your esc and rx. You need the red wire on the esc to program the esc so dont cut it or remove it from the connector, using the servo extension as a sacrificial item still allows for programming Not sure where you can get them locally in the UK but i know i can buy them here in Oz so there should be somewhere

If you mean the servo lead, no problem! 10 a penny here.
Thanks for the info... I'm still a little way off... Got holes to drill!!!! Aghhh!!!

[BlackSnakeRacing]

was referring to the TP motors as to availability locally for you, servo externsions are everywhere

[KillerDave]

Oh ok, they have to be ordered in and am looking at it... Thanks again....

[KillerDave]

TP's are on their way soon!!! Thanks for the advice on that guys! I know it will pay to listen to you, more experienced FEers!
I have been doing some work and I will post pictures soon.
Drilling holes in a top-end hull is not for the faint-hearted!!!
The rudder is on minus the rams, they are going on tonight....
I've drilled the holes for the drives but I want to fit back plates too so I hope to Finish the drives this week....

Where did you get your TP motors?

Sorry, I had to run for a course at work!
An other member (Sampit) was placing an order and he tagged mine on his...

[KillerDave]

Ok folks,

I have done a little but for some reason Photobucket is trying to kill me!!!????

The rudder and drives are fitted although, I did have problems with the single nut drives, I think I would have been better off with the old style drives....
It's all sorted now, and the flexis are in the oven.... :-)

I have also made small sleeves to make a nice and tight fit between the drives and the prop tube.

I will try to take some pics using my phone.....

Here goes....
