Default RE: Ebay Rafale...?

Yup I lost my battery inverted once aswell. poxxy a piece of plywood to the bottom and add velcro to that.

I have to take a look back and see what watts I was pulling, but im sure it was around the 550w mark with a 3s and 850w with the 4s with both around the 39a area.

Your amp draw is about perfect. The thing is.. when you go full thottle, ocasionnaly you will peak your amps to about 45A and thats why you need the 54aESC. A 45a ESC is cutting it a litle close and can over heat. What bothers me is why your Watts are so low.

Here's another thead on the same thing. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...ghlight=rafale

Theres some good reading in here and Don Himself is anwering alot of questions.



Yes: Im getting 470w on a slightly used 3s. So I would expect about 500w to be the norm. Try putting a 4s in her.. Youll love it!
