Default RE: Katana 50 by Hangar 9

Could you post up some pictures of your fix ?

Mean while trying to decide which power set up to go for I have done what I always do when stuck, make a spread sheet !

For 5cell the wieght is based on a 5Ah Battery and 4.5Ah for 6cell. The capacity for 8min is based on the current draw at 70% throttle. The watt/per pound is for the total wieght. I think 6 cell is the way to go. The weight difference is not a lot.


5cell

Weight Motor Prop Esc Battery Total Weight Current WOT Capacity for 8min Watt/Pound
5055-580 290 15x7 100 659 1049 71.5 6.0 192
4020-620 280 15x7 100 659 1039 75.5 6.3 203

6cell

Weight Motor Prop Esc Battery Total Weight Current WOT Capacity for 8min Watt/Pound
5055-400 290 16x8 100 676 1066 54.3 4.5 170
4020-470 281 16x8 100 676 1057 61.5 5.1 192
