Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!


ORIGINAL: Barrrick

A QUICK QUESTION : ( a quickie ? )

do electric motors, as they age , get progressively (and slowly) , less and less powerful ? or do they NECESSARILY just go out all at once, like in a burn out

I notice that my CX-2 that has been flown constantly for a year and a half, is beginning to slow down, kinda. I also WONDER if the 2Cell LiPos ( all four of them)
can do the same. Which is losing power ? the motor, the LiPo ? and how does one check that ?
all these ITEMS mentioned are all ORIGINAL OUT OF THE BOX since back to 27 FEB 2007 ........have they arrived at their appointed SENILITY ?

Y'all KNOW more about this than this old fool.

about the new TREX : I find that just unraveling the bundle of cables from the servos, and threading EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE for identification seems to be the only
way to go

CHEERS.......coffe break at work has ENDED.........read y'all from the house at 5:30pm RICK
Could be motors OR batteries, either one. Yes, they wear out with age.
