MARYLAND Who wants to run???

[Chilli]

Looks Good Don. Take it easy on the first run or whenever you try a new prop. Do 3-4 laps, bring her in and check your temperatures on the.motor, controller, batteries, bullets. You want to shoot for everything in the 120's or less. The 130's will get you close to the danger zone and you want to avoid 140+ as it will hurt your equipment. This is all a general rule. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Your going to need a bigger pond. LOL Congrats!!!

 

[Don Estep]

yes this was just my test pond lol

 

[Don Estep]

weather looking good for this weekend hope the report stays the same

i will be trying edgewood pond

was running real wet.. made some adj.

and need some bigger props

 

[Chilli]

She did look a little wet but I couldnt tell for sure since you couldnt stay on the throttle long. BTW-Your ESC will run cooler running wide open rather than partial throttle. Your running pretty cool anyway plus the weather also helps. This is more of a FYI when you start running bigger props in warm weather.

I'll be heading down to North Carolina this weekend to see how fast I can make my cat go. Have a great week and weekend.

 

[Don Estep]

Thanks for the FYI

i just sent mark sholund of Props4u.com a pm asking him about a coulpe props.

x450 x452

i have an x447, m545, m645 and a TFL 448bc to try this weekend

i have read there is a guy with a Cheetah and a 4092/1600 (same motor i have) and a SF240esc (i have a FC300esc) and he is running an x452 at 66mph and all temps good, but to me the esc is alittle hi at 132deg

Good luck this weekend and have a safe trip
