Chris...I've been using what I can afford...alot of OLD batteries. The testing point. I judged the CS fan wrong because I was running weak battery.

The CS is rated to ply 1800 watts. I ran it up to 1872 with a 2500kv outrunner, on 6 cell only 80% throttle...on a GOOD battery...

What you're outlining about the power comsumption is absolutely right. I'm driven to find the right long can for the CS. The Cool29 on 5 cell is rated for 100 amps, 1800 watts, and probably the only motor for 100 dollars that will actually work without burnout.

Now I'm gotten my nephew to look at the drawing for a shaft adapter. I'm working on an idea for an adapter with low runout, a designed in trueness, which I believe comes from machining the part from one machines mounting. Starts with a bore through, minor diameter of the 3mm threaded end. The entire part is turned true to the first bore, on a toolmakers arbor. Scott does not have CNC, but if I can properly design the part, and outline the process....

He's only just replied last night, and he said, don't they already make them? I've got to reply with.."Yes, but they don't run true enough."

He may take the challenge, at least I hope. My father's equipment is now in Scotts shop, some of it. I have no place for machines, I rent, and I'd try to do it myself, but I'm unequiped. I'm gonna see if I can go visit Scott too.
