RE: Capiche 140
mmmm tricky one that...
The 160 will cost you more than the other option...and then you need more bits to go with it !
Maybe the servo upgrade is best given that you have YS power already...
BTW - 9206s are in stock @ IH and maybe the hattori pipe too!
PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

RE: Capiche 140
With a 160 the Capiche is not too far off the performance of my Synergy which is a total weapon. The servos you have are fine so if you can afford it id go for the 160. Capiche is really good with it.
Can get em from Probuild (web address below) or Island Hobbies may have some.

RE: Capiche 140
Well you are going to need a hatori pipe anyway if you get the 160DZ............................. your capiche will sound so much better with that than the standard little silencer you had on it at the freestyle.
Dont underestimate how much getting the 160 is though - not just the engine but some seriously big props, tanks, fuel e.t.c
But if you are not satisfied with the power you are getting at the moment go for it but youre looking at 600-700 quid for the YS, tanks, props and hatori pipe and a decent engine mount to go with it, which is more than the 9206 servos and pipe

Adam,
If It were me, I'd go for the 160... I doubt you'ld notice any difference from what you have by adding a pipe or different servos...

Steve

RE: Capiche 140
I have reached a verdict: I am going to get a Hatori 698 pipe and 5 8511 servos or if not available 4 9206 servos.
Luke if i get the 8511's i should get a 4.8v battery is that right?

RE: Capiche 140
I have from malc and thelike that they run ok with 5 cells but i dont chance it - i run my capiche with a 5 cell 1700 pack regulated down to 5 volts
In this way if one cell goes youve still got control and you get no current induced voltage drop in snaps and stuff

RE: Capiche 140
IH have 8511s in too by the way Adam... or is someone else sorting you out ?
I run 1 x 8511 and 4 x 9206 on 4.8V. Im not all that keen on going the 6V route at this time...
Happy New Year folks !
