Tim,
Glad the motors fooled you. I test everything I sell for quality. I have to buy before so I can test and the " doesnt pass my satisfaction test" is very high. Vendors will tell you everything you want to hear. You should see my stock of junk crap. I want to keep quality & fast shipping associated with my name and there's only one way to do it. If I get a flood on a particular item I may run out, but since I've ordered before I can give an expected ship date because the replacement stock has already been ordered when I see the flood coming. I don't list items and then order them as orders come in. Many do though. It does cause me to put alot up front. I won't do "grab bag specials" on the junk either just to unload it. I'm not trying to toot my horn, it's just my policy. If I wouldn't use, why should I sell it to others?
You connections should be ok. Eacj joint should be soldered since if it not electrically "tight" it will cause static to be introduced into the Rx and cause problems. The current draw of those motors is 1/3 of a stock AA so you can add a second motor to each side if needed safely to a stock AA Rx.
sputnixxx,
Here are the facts cold and hard. Others in the thread will confim what I've posted before.
The AA will only work with a single lipo. You can use a higher ma rated one for longer duration flight. If you want bigger or multiple motors with a stock Rx, expect it to fail quickly with the stock output transistors. Many AA Rx' fail with the stock motors. The transistor SilverLit chose is very close to the max on power dissipation. A couple have had success, but it's very slim. I do have a direct replacement Mosfet for the transistors that allows multiple or larger motors. Many in this thread have used them with great success. I spec'd them out very closely with alot of research on direct replacement for ease of installation and durability. Feel free to ask anyone here, I won't be offended by their answers.
Hope this little bit of info is informative to all,
Tony
