EKOS clone and upgrade questions.

I've had both. The feigaos have more power, and they are cheaper! BUT......you need bigger esc's with the feigao xl's. The ammos will run on the stock 60-amp esc's.

I completely took apart my struts to find the noise I was hearing. I think it was a combination of things. One was a found a bearing thats bad. it spins but feels like there is a flat spot on the bearing when you spin it. The other part of the noise I may have been hearing was where the ball joint screws into the strut tube. both ball joints were very loose where they screw together. I'm going to loctite those together. Now Im waiting on a new set of bearings before I put it together. But I did get my wire drives today :D

Will the feigaos 9xl's run on a 80amp esc?

Im pretty sure they will be ok on and 80 amp esc's.If you go with the 120's you ll have more motor options later and they will run very cool with the 380 9 or 10xl's.I ran my EKOS with x442 props on the 10xl's and esc temps got to 117 degrees.Nice and cool.

pulled my motors out to get ready to put new couplers on for wire drives. Found a 2881Kv sticker on them. So once again the boat I bought didnt come with what it was advertised as having in it.

My mistake they are 70 amp esc's. do you think the feigaos 9xl's will be ok on those escs? I see the 9xl's are rated at 47 amps?

[LarrysDrifter]

They might be ok.Its worth a shot.Running in a twin,the motors dont work nearly as hard as a single drive.So the amp pull would obvioulsy be less.Theres only a 269kv difference between your stock motors and the 9xl's.The main thing is the amp draw difference.Which I dont know what it is.I think you can run the 9xl's on the 70 amp esc's.Just watch temps and prop small to start.

[JPriami]

smallest props i have are the 36mm. mine didnt come with 32mm props.
maybe i should lean towards the 10xl?

[LarrysDrifter]

Those will be fine.I think Steve has the 9xl's and jackets in stock now.

[JPriami]

yeah he does. am im trying to sell my heli to pay for that stuff lol

[LarrysDrifter]

Didnt you say you only have two 3s batteries too?
