Fighercat Cheetah 6s2p

[sampit]

Do you think 6s2p total 10200 mAh is about the right weight in a Fighercat Cheetah 4092 1600kv motor

[Rumdog]

Yup

Some of the guys in our club are running that hull. 2 I believe are running a twin p setup and the other is a twin q.

sampit it will work

Thanks I just ordered 4 6s packs !
I tried 6s1p x642 but it ploughs I think it need a bigger prop to get it on plane
what would be the best prop to go with x452 or maybe? Try a Prather 235?

[Mattwarner]

Sam I've got an X452 if you want to borrow to test, I've heard this prop is good for your setup, where did you buy your 6s packs from anywhere is the uk or HK?

[sampit]

Thanks Matt That wouls be nice to try that prop!

Im getting the DINOGY 6s 5100 mAh 65c pack from my freind in the UK, he is the new UK and Scotland dealer for DINOGY packs.

Sam is their a website or contact for Dinogy lipos here in the UK as id be interested in some myself having heard good things about them. Thanks Martin.

No website yet, hopefully in the new year, best way to get the DINOGY packs in the UK would be to PM me. and I can forward you to the guys phone number.

Is it plowing because its that slow or....? I built one for someone w/ a 4082 1600KV and it runs great on 4S w a 445. The cheetahs have a design flaw imo in the last step. It angles down severely. This makes it ride VERY flat. Ive got 2 of them and have built about 9. Shift some weight back and see what happens. 6S1P should get it on plane just fine with that prop.

I use a 452 with a 1200KV neu and its 67mph for 4 minutes, the 452 would be too much prop for your 1600kv motor try a 445-646

I moved my 6s1p back as far as i could today and gave it a try, it did run much beter, not ploughing any more, but still very flat. i know what you mean in a way about the shape of the steps
Do you think with a bit of filler and lot of rubbing the angles could be improved on the Cheetah? if i knew how to blueprint the steps and get them better i would like to give it a go but not sure what would need improving ,thats if i could be improved, this way. got plenty of time over winter

I thought the x452 would work looking at this one, what you think? running a 4092 1600kv

But is it safer on the esc to run it more full throtle rather than lots of half throtle?
I thought its better on the esc to run at full or as close to full throtle as you dare with the right kv motor less change of meldown so i think i would have beter geting a 1200kv motor instead of the 1600kv, but if its ok on the esc to run it like this one looks great setup,maybe a X646 might be more full throtle setup?

The 1200 Kv motor will spin a larger prop for better efficiency. We tried 1500 Kv motors on similar hulls but the lower Kv gave equal speeds with lower amp draw and longer run times. All on 6S of course.

Yes it will run very flat. Filler is exactly what Im going to experiment w/ on mine. Although, I may not make it perfectly tru. I do like how the "flat running" keeps it from blowing over in the chop thats usually present at our race course, however, the last ride pad is pushing the nose down too much and causing me to sub quite often. So Im thinking of only taking half of the angle out and see how it does. I think my other problem is my drives are too low, but for the type, as high as I could get them. Try raising your strut if possible, keeping it at a level ride height. That should help free it up a little more. Heres a vid of racing this past weekend. Is this how yours is running? Mine subs but is only heard by a "whoah" on camera and not seen. I sub about once per race. (orange tipped hull of the two cheetahs) or, the one who finishes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDvIdGK_GqM
