RE: Trex 600 with A123

5 minutes on a 10s pack and 3d, I'd have to see that to believe it. I run 12s, HV85, TT ripper, 13t with a head speed short of 2k and I only get 4:30 sport flying. I'm gonna jump up to 14s...

RE: Brushless conversion questions

That's what I was thinking about the brakes. I figured out the throttle. A combination of low timing and low throttle response did the trick. I think I'll put a brake servo in unless motor braking...

Thanks for the reply! This is an ESC out of my Align 600. The brake setting is for soft, medium and hard braking. The first two settings are for throttle throw when programming the ESC. I've done...

Brushless conversion questions

I've converted my hyper 7 over to a brushless system. I'm running the stock Align 75amp ESC, 600L, pistix, 6s A123, 2s A123 RX pack and spektrum. I know the air components are not the best choice...

RE: How do you guys like your 989?

Pretty poor service I must say! Your handling yourself rather well for them having your 989 so long.

RE: A123 in my starter box?

That's a good idea! I'll have to pass that along to my airplane buddy. The cells robust discharge rating leads me to believe they would crank over my .28 with some authority. I would have around...

A123 in my starter box?

Hello, I have an Ofna starter box with what I believe to be a 750 motor. My question is how many A123 cells would be a good pack to run my starter? I was thinking of building a 4s1p MEC solderless...

RE: Bought a MRC Super Brain 977 and would like a balancer.

Yes, no and 2.4 amps (1c).

RE: Cheep batteries for trex600e

This level of heli simply takes a large battery. In all actuality 6s1p is the bare minimum to run a 50 size electric IMO. I believe they did this as the stock size because most every noob would...

RE: IS A T-REX too big a leap from a CX-2?

I flew my Blade cx and RF g3 for over a year untill I was getting real bored. I jumped right to 600cf and am now running A123. The 450se is a ultra sweet little heli but I wanted bigger to handle...

RE: 989 charging a lipo at 1.2C

I've thought about doing the same thing when I'm charging my A123 cells. I've just not tried it yet. I'm sure if you watch the battery and monitor the charge current with an actual volt meter you...

RE: Upgrade MRC 989 for use with A123's

I was hoping that MRC would step up and make the 989 capable of doing A123. I know in the present form it will charge A123 in the lipo and power supply mode if done correctly but upgraded...

RE: What would you buy??? 600 E or N?????? POLL

RE: 977 doesn't recognize lipo's.

Worked like a charm! I was looking for the word lipo to show up before I hit start which it didn't. I did like you said and it came up in bold letters which makes me feel better!
Thanks again!!!
