Default RE: FUNJET

Guys,

The Funjet in this video is faster:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U871_...eature=related (camera work is not good).

This Funjet was measured 1 MPH slower than the 150 MPH Funjet in the post above… but that was on radar and with a nearly spent pack. So it may be capable of closer to 160 MPH runs.

Assuming that it may have been thrust limited due to small prop, I believe the 16/25/2 2650KV would be better with slight advantage in every dept. than the 16/20/2 3100KV on 5S.

ditchit,

You have the BEST battery possible. No other battery when running any of the 28mm MEGA motors can help a Funjet fly faster.

I believe your battery is KING as far as any Combo of MEGA and Funjet, not even a 6S-3700 can do better due to combination of KV and cell counts and prop size for needed thrust (Without going to HV ESC for 7S+ operation with lower KV).

So no need for fitting a bigger pack, you’ve done the hard work already and have the best pack…The guy in your video had a 1700KV motor and the cells were not even working hard because the motor could not take much more amps.

Of course there is other brand motors with different KVs.

I honestly believe you can hit about 160 MPH with your 5S-3700 25C pack at the 85A range with right motor…and it would have a much easier time of it then the 5S-3300 in the video above (in this post). May fly even faster than that with more power from same pack.

I use 60% EXPO on high speed Strykers too.


Have fun,
