Carbon fiber cheetah build

[kfxguy]

Still couldn't be happier with this build. While the Neu 1521 1y amd swordfish 300 were nice, Travis and I decided on a Lehner and a MGM esc yo complement the first class build. Will be sending out some test run data soon. Travis, specs on the new setup?

2260 lehner, 1644kv. 8mm shaft. Mbp collet. Mgm 25035-3 x2 Esc with dual power and motor wire option.

4 hours??? That long huh? I've got a motor mount I just glued with JB and I need to take the tape off in a few hours.

Glad I found this thread again... THX.

Yes sir, I time it. 4 hours and it's time to peel the tape. I use a gram scale to get my mix perfect every time

M series prop is an X series with the tongue/ ears cut off.

[kfxguy]

Ok I will give both of those a try. Do they make a x645? Because I do have a x642 at hand I used on my spartan will that work? Whats the difference in the M and X series?

X series has more tongue. It does slow it down a bit at top speed but has better (supposedly) acceleration. I much prefer m series. They perform the best for me. Also an x series may pull more amps.

Sitting flat on table..... strut level and the bottom of the strut about 2mm to 3mm off the table. X447/3 prop or m645 prop.

No problem! Sorry.if I sounded on edge this weekend. ..I was....my kids puppy got ran over the day after Christmas. We only had him for 4 months but we We're very attached to him. The low life who ran him over right in front of my house didn't bother to stop. The kids have been taking it really hard and I just haven't been in a good mood as a result of it.

No problem travis I understand things get get hard and I truly appreciate your help. I ran the cheetah to day and I can only get 35 mph top speed running 2 3s packs in series and 2 6 s packs in parallel something must be Wong might be running to wet I think I have the strut to low with the strut on the table the rear of the s ponsons are 4mm higher than the strut do you recommend a prop to run on a 4082 1600kv motor on 6s?

Wow that's rolling! I just picked up a new Black Jack V3. I ran it the other day and I'm in love. Lol. This is much easier than Nitro.

It is easier for sure. And that wasn't my fastest pass either. Lol. It was just a better video.

I does look like it moves. He can't gps it because it's all carbon. Morgan city is quite a ways from me. I'm in the baton Rouge area. I actually have 2 more of these to build, including one for me which will be crazily over power (how I like to do things! Lol). Check this out..... this one i built is kinda fast too...
