Default RE: Nothing Standardized in This Hobby



what the lack of standards gives us is FREEDOM</p>

believe it or not. </p>

example i own a rimfire 35-30-1250 brushless motor. it is suppost to require a 35 amp esc and a 20c battery.</p>

well guess what i only have a 25 amp esc and 4 different batterys each with a different c rating 15-25 (some under the recommended)</p>

 i also put that motor on planes thaat weigh under a pound, that motor pulls around 2.2 lb </p>

so if they packaged everything together plane and all i would end up with a boring esc motor and battery. or a very expensive package</p>

but now i have a insane power to weight ratio so i can fly in 15 mph winds (manufacture recommends under 5mph winds) and still have plenty of umph left over</p>

same with a magnum .91 4 stroke. i put it on a yak54 that was suppost to have a .70 sized 4 stroke on it (or .47 2 stroke) why? because i could</p>

so my point is while not every nut will work with every bolt. </p>

if everything was standardized, it would take part of the fun out of the hobby. </p>
