"Brushless Motor Question"
Matthew Jones replied to Matthew Jones's topic in General Electric Flight Chat
its brushless.......story goes...bought kyosho sports spree came with brushed motor an gearbox changed that for an ebay hongkong brushless motor with the original gearbox ,very little info on the motor all in funny writing..... model flys great can fly all day on 1/4 to 1/2 throttle any more and things get very hot.......did a bit of research on the motor and maximum volts it can handle is 9.6volts so bought the motor in the pic and hence the above questions.............. -
"Brushless Motor Question"
Matthew Jones replied to Matthew Jones's topic in General Electric Flight Chat
Ok............ so how about if i've got a mini and want to put a jaguar engine in it and i've only got a mini clutch an gearbox to use......................could i down prop it so that it doesn't draw 40 amps and only uses 30 amps? its also goin through a reduction box if that makes any difference.................. -
Hi, Just a quick question reguarding Amp ratings............i've just bought a larger motor 4 my low wing trainer which says that it recommends a 40A esc...............could it run on say a 30A esc......or would it overheat?

I've upgraded to 2.4ghz with all my models, had a glitch on take off with the seagull but not at that field.....as for that radio mast thing, never had a glitch there, although i've nearly flown into it a couple of times......in the process of putting a landing strip in the middle of that field, but we might have to get christmas out of the way first according to the wife.......... Happy Flying................ -

Yeah first ever attempt with the trainer, have been flyin 450 size heli's for about a year an a half.....no 3d though and plenty of crashes so thought fixed wing was the way to go.......... good luck with the training tommorrow....not a member myself to any clubs sort of self taught at that field on the video mate of mine owns 12 Acre's so didn't find the need to join a club But it is something i'm gonna look into.............. -
