Default I ran the numbers

but they will only add confusion on here.

If you want them PM me.

As for the technical issues, I think BV has hit it on the head, namely the power supply to the servos. Imagine if you are using a 4 cell pack, and it is somewhat run down, and you have small gauge extensions (or too many extensions), slightly corroded connectors, etc. You could have 20% less torque than other Bobcats with 5 cell packs, regulators, 22 gauge gold plated extensions, hi quality extensions etc.

Also BV mentioned 200 mph, if you enter a dive, split S or enter the backside of a loop already at 200 mph you are going to go way over 200 on the downside if you do not get out of the throttle fast.

215 mph requires almost 15% more servo torque than 200 mph

So like most things it adds up. 4 cell pack, somewhat depleted, numerous small gauge extensions, corroded connectors, 215 MPH vs 200 and now you might have a problem

Just my thoughts

PS I just noticed the Vne for the Bobcat is 175, so the torque required for full deflection at 215 mph is 34% greater than 175 mph!
