Default RE: Black Mamba Performance Test Video


ORIGINAL: Pepperpete

Absolutely awesome. That thing really gets up to snuff fast. I couldn't help but notice that the maximum thrust was 28ish pounds. On the website it says max thrust is 30.85. Is that due to the thinner air? Seems that 2 pounds is a fair bit different than advertised but I completely respect the honest testing. It's downright refreshing. In fact I wish there was a collection of video's identical to this with different turbines. Makes choosing the one we want much easier.
If you watch the complete video the motor does eventually approach 30lbs thrust. It seems the max rpm is bouncing around from 126k to 128k and the thrust goes up accordingly.

Todd,
What type of compressor wheel does this motor use?? is it a garrett or their own design?
Thanks,
Vin...
