Billy... Sounds like you are telling me that I should put together my H&M ECO w/ ETTI Hardware I've had sitting here and get it ready for October???Originally posted by BILL OXIDEAN View PostToysport Joker (race)
Novak GTB 13.5 system
Maxamps 6,000 2s2p
Airtronics M11 2.4 radio and servo
Graupner 31mm prop
Good for 33mph with no hull mods
You guys have got me all jacked up!
Looks like NAMBA keeping eco was good let's see if we can slide a BL/Lipo
suppliment into NAMBA's Eco rules NOT to become a heated debate , just a suggestion..
One class that could cross over worldwide wouldn't hurt
I already proved the euro boys wrong when they said I couldn't bust 28mph with an eco on 7-zellen and a 19-turn motor
Me hit 31 LoL..
On 6-zellen
Ecos rock don't knock it 'til you try it..
Turn like the movie TRON INSANE accelleration Self righting, what more do you want!!!
(Got the H&M because the hull shape is also a legal Mono under NAMBA rules... many of the others weren't...)
Get that rule request in...

Bill :
I'm building the Hopf Eco with the Etti hardware ( 1.5 mm pianowire ), did you use the
coupler from Etti ? Can it deal with the power ?Comment
-
Those are the same parts I have... haven't tried the coupler yet... it's a tiny little thing... Should hold up to a brushed setup... Not sure about a "Stock" BL though... One way to find out!Originally posted by Gerwin Brommer View Post
While we are talking Ecos... is there any rule of thumb, etc., concerning shaft angles, balance points, etc?? I've never set one up before...Darin E. Jordan - Renton, WA

Yep, there are some "golden rules" for setting up eco's.
I'll try to find'em for you.Comment
