RE: Hobbico Superstar EP
My Jeti Phasor 30-3 motor arrived before my 2-cell Kokam 3.2AH pack so I decided to go ahead and test it in my Superstar. I also used a Jeti 40-amp ESC with BEC and a 5mm prop adapter that I had with a red spinner.
The Jeti Phasor motor mounted perfectly and I could even secure the front to the stock aluminum mount using two M3x10mm screws.
I tested the power system with my 3-cell Kokam 3.2AH pack and measured 280 watts at 25amps using an old Kyosho 9x6 nylon prop. Nothing in the power system is being stressed at that current level so even though full throttle will provide unlimited vertical climb, you could leave the stick at full all day long. Note the connector style change to Dean's Ultra to properly handle the higher current.
Even with the 3-cell Kokam 3.2AH pack that has the equivalent voltage to a 10-cell NiCd pack, my Superstar was RTF at 3oz under stock weight (45oz/2.8lb) which is almost 1/4lb drop. My new power level is now a powerful 100w/lb which will provide spectacular aerobatics!
