Frick!!!! Charged all of my batteries today to go fly and POOF!! My Dynam 30A finally took a huge poo-pooh! My fingers still smell like burnt plastic and toxic death after 3 hand washes....I kinda like that Align 35 amp ESC with the external heat sink, 6v BEC and governor for 55 bucks...Anyone else have an idea on the next great thing in ESC's to try? maybe the Hobbywing....Can't justify the Castle Creations, but me likes it a lot!

Peace,

Z

You know, I have been getting more reports of their stuff being worse and worse. Funny thing is, I'm almost positive those motors are made in the same factory as a lot of other motors (HDX being one).

I wonder how much it is to move to china and get this stuff done right the first time ? Of course the wife would kill / miss me, but think of all the great products we could bring to market!

That's funny right there! I ended up taking a feathering shaft spacer from the T-Rex, ( which was a perfect fit ), and put the pinion on tight. It's not like a plane when the prop wants to pull the motor apart so I'm not worried about the stresses on the spacer.

Hey Mike, don't go....it won't make anything better, they'd still make crap, ( although very affordable crap

) and we'd miss your customer service. Your better off over here

God Bless All, rant over

The9 tooth does not work well with the 3800. You have to nearly make a hole in the frame to push the motor far enough back. Also you will have to remove the little servo mounts and cut those about 1/8 inch shorter. Sooo dont waste the time, besides the 3800 motor is very strong and works best as far as headspeed (unless your into REAL aerobatics) with a 20 to 22 tooth pinion. The 10 you will need to nick the frame a little the 11 tooth usually it drops right in. You probably dont want to install the 12 tooth only because it will run a insane headspeed.
If your servo horn is touching the motor or the linkage is remove the servo and trim back those two little mounts OR if you are in the LHS there is a package "EK1-0293 servo controler"which includes new servo mounts and what you want is the short ones out of the package to mount your front servo, (now you have to look that your front servo does not hit the Pitch servo linkage... but those new servo mounts usually work.
Just a suggestion but you might want to look into a frame stiffener from Xtream products to prevent breaking the frame on a hard "landing" with that heavier 3800 motor and already weak frame, cost is only about 10$ for it.
Hope that helps a little

Huh? 20 or 22 tooth pinion? hehehehe

The xtreme frame stiffner is nice, I have not had a chance to install one yet (still using the XTREME cf frame) but I did look closely at the milling and design!

What do you guys do about the COG? I have the ESC mounted above the battery, some velcro on the battery to get it as far forward as I can, and it's still tail heavy. I traded mine used for a nitro truck, spent the last week leveling, adjusting, and tweaking to get it set up right, but can't figure out the COG.

Thanks dude - I read your post and other guys carefully. Referring to whole ideas it seems the frame should be dremel a bit even with 10T.
And if Im not mistaken the modification you mentioned for servo mounts are just for 9T? Or should be done for 10T too? As you said The 11T would sit onto the mount without any mod.
Dont you think 11T would make crazy head speed sine im a beginner?

Thanks again
