The Voracity tuning thread

[Darin Jordan]

I have pretty much everything that is popular. I used to squeak when it can to buying props but I don't anymore. I'm ordering a couple more today and I has some other abc stuff coming.

It's time for you to stop dinking around and start getting into organized racing... You've played long enough!

I know I know. But there's no organized racing anywhere near here. There is a rc car track that dug a lake and was supposed to start racing but that hasn't happened yet.

I know a few people where that's the case... Well... at least you have a decent test pond!

I got a CNC 5014 today in the mail and ran it tonight. I don't know a ton about props but I picked it because the total pitch is 2.76 and I wanted to see what a CNC prop was like. Noticeable torque roll when you punch it but seemed to run pretty well and it hit 55.8mph! I pulled it in a bunch to check temps and so I wasn't running hard the entire time straight. On 4S it ran 38.1mph

batteries - 110ish
esc - 117-120
motor - 110
motor wires/connectors - 165
battery wires - 105

Not bad for a cnc prop. What battery connectors are you using? What connectors on the motor?

Very nice man !

The motor to ESC connectors are stock (I think they're 5.5mm?). The battery connectors I have changed to 5.5mm bullets. I guess I should have said that this is with the stock motor and ESC.

Wow that's a huge prop, almost 2 inches in diameter

[arrover]

Yes, and I think that's why it has more torque roll. I decided to try it because the pitch is 1.4 vs 1.6 on the common Octura props so the total pitch is supposed to be less than the stock prop.

I spent a couple hours today cleaning up a new M645. It's still not very sharp but I had enough at that point so I went out and ran it. 54.6mph on 6S and 36.8 on 4S (stock ESC and motor). If you punch it from a dead stop, it will spin for about two seconds and then it hooks up and takes off. The delay isn't really a big deal and is kind of fun to watch. It doesn't seem to come into play in turns. I think there's probably more speed in this prop if I had it sharper. That's just a guess though. P.S. I still don't have the option to attach pictures to my posts. Do you have to have a certain post count first?

Sorry to hijack thread, but I am attempting to attach a .jpg that I've uploaded from my hard drive.

There is an icon on the reply toolbar for inserting an image. You don't have that?

[arrover]

I'm the one that hijacked it. No worries. No, I only have the option to insert an image from a URL. Same thing in advanced reply.

[kfxguy]

Went ran it again today. Made sure batts were fully charged. I made no changes.


Abc 1914 58.2mph
Abc 1815 56.9mph
Abc 1915 53.9mph

[zooma]

Interesting. Larger diameter at lower pitch came out ahead. I would have expected the 1815 to be the leader.

[montymike]

Important what's the amp draw on each . Could u run any of these on Stock e.s.c.
