Default RE: Jet Cat 140rx

From the info I have, the 140 is to replace the 120SX eventually. We will have 100, 140, 160 series of Jetcat. All Kero starts.

1N = 1KG*9.8m/s^2. A lazy man's conversion is to divide N number by 10, then x 2.2 = lbs in thrust.

For example, 140N=14KGX2.2LBS/KG = 30.8lbs (approximate). 100N = 22 lbs.


Most of them will add 1 lbs or 2 lbs thrust depending on elevation and temperature.

I am just curious about the battery consumption per start on these new motors. My 160sx takes a lot of juice to start. The only reliable batteries I use is Li-Mn from Duralite, 3,000mah will give me only 3-4 starts.
