Default RE: Ducted fan build

ORIGINAL: srw1960
.I dug around and found a esc I had and hooked it up to it I used a standard what is it 7.2 volt car battery pack and the motor is rated for up to 14.8 volts..anway I fired it up and OHHHH MY GAWD..it was all I could do to hang on to it and its running at half voltage...I bought the biggest badest highest thrust fan I could find and I think I may regret it..may have to go to a lower voltage lipo pack to be able to handle this thing..Pompebled I do beleive this will have more than enough thrust to get this motivated very well..
I think I get your drift...;

I once tested an airboat set-up with a 700 motor and used my regulated powersupply on the 15V setting.

I've seen dust coming out of every nook and cranny of my workshop and everything light enough took off in flight...

Good luck on your build!
