Greg,

What is the dimensional distance from the rear mounting surface to the rear face of the spinner plate?

What kind of connectors will you be using in the set up? Isn't 225 amps too much for the Deans Ultra connectors?

What method do you use to enlarge the prop hole? All of the props I am using come with a 9mm hole and enlarging
to fit motor shafts and balancing have been one of my biggest problems.

On the Axi 5330/20 Dual the prop adapter supplied is not balanced. I had Tru-Turn make me an adapter with a 9mm shaft
and tapped 10-32 for the spinner bolt. I balanced the adapter and I balance the adapter, prop, and spinner as a unit. Yet
the motor vibrates severely ???? I checked the tracking and it's perfect.

In your post of 12-5-2010 you gave data on the Turnigy and stated it would run all day. Do you know what the capacity
of the 12s LiPo battery was?

I am looking for a replacement for the AXI and am interested if the Turnigy would be a good candidate.

Hi Tom,

The Deans connectors are rated to 100 amp continuous. This is what I learned after speaking with one of the engineers at Deans. He also informed me they are working on connectors that will handle greater then 100 amps that was supposed to on the market by August 2010. What I suggested to Greg were the 8mm bullet connectors from Xtreme Power Systems. http://www.xtremepowersystems.net/pr...prod=XPS-8mm-1
The bolt pattern for props for my Hacker A200 is exactly that of the Desert Aircraft 150cc gas engine so I purchased & used a drill guide from www.pspmfg.com
It worked great. It looks like the Turnigy has the same type of bolt pattern.
You may want to also consider the Hacker A150 which is equivalent to a 100cc engine. Here are videos demonstrating the power of the motor:
