RE: E Flite Eratix 3D 25e ARF Owners Club

RE: Questions about electric setup on Hangar 9 Spitfire 60

1500 Watts?!!!

How are you pulling this kind of power on 5S? are you running the 600kv model? I run a Turnigy 50-65 380kv on 6S and need to use a 16x10 APC glow prop to get 1050W. I've...

RE: Open letter to Horizon Hobby and JR Radios

RE: E Flite Eratix 3D 25e ARF Owners Club

also, jmir, what C rating is your battery? 2200mah sounds pretty slim for the rig you are running. Remember that even if your battery is rated for 30C , that is a max capacity of 66amps. You don't...

RE: E Flite Eratix 3D 25e ARF Owners Club

Your best bet is to buy the programming card for $10 from HK. If you don't feel like waiting, download the manual and try to follow the arcane series of throttle commands to change the timing.

RE: Is wet power a dead end?

The endless complaints of how expensive LiPo batteries are have begun to ring hollow. I buy my 4000mah batteries from Hobby King for just a little more than my nitro buddies pay for a gallon of their...
