The Rimfire 65cc motor is still over speeding the VP. The Zinger 4 blade generally peaked between 5000 and 5400rpm with chart speeds at 85-90 mph. Current draw was high at 145amps and ESC temp briefly got to 178f but generally ran at 145F. It was a hot day at close to 90f and no clouds.
How manny amps did you get with the vp set at 20? I need to come up to Ocala and join to fly along with yall I'm just in mt dora
