RE: Unofficial
[quote]ORIGINAL: willo jet Well guys ive decided too change the jet boat too brushless electric because im going too use it for a recovery boat aswell as a fast electric for the rivers ect. [/quote] I don't think it will make a very good recovery boat - since it is jet powered you only have steering when under power (no rudder) and it's really only when you are giving it a reasonable amount of power. I have 2 of these and tried to recover one with the other, and I really struggled (and failed) when the lipos went flat one time. I was very sceptical when you originally put the idea forward, but it would be a shame not to see you finish it .... Cheers, Mike.

RE: Unofficial
[quote]ORIGINAL: sundogz Mike: check to see if the impeller is contacting the stator or sides of the intake cavity. If so, remove the offending plastic - or better yet, run it until it wears down (more fun). You didn't say if that was the one that was faster. ISIRC10: It may be so, but I've never compared identical esc's set to different timing side by side. I don't see where different timing would sound any different - they are just 'firing' at different times during the cycle is all. But your suggestion of them not being initially calibrated would be valid if the trigger was held to a different position when initially plugged in, or a different TX was used when initially fired up. But I don't think that is the case. Stein: You're talking to the wrong person. Write Jeff Wohlt at the email address I posted. Hopefully, he can help you. [/quote] The noisier one is faster. I'll check the impeller. They sound different throughout the throttle range, not just top end, I'm not convinced that they are calibrated perfectly - I have 2 different Tx's and no manual for the Traxxas one - it is a bit of a guess :(

RE: Unofficial
[quote]ORIGINAL: sundogz The loudness might be caused by impeller clearance. But the one with the highest pitch (note) should be fastest. If not it may have a slipping coupler. I don't think the speed controls are the reason for the difference in sound. [/quote] Thanks - how should I set the impeller clearance ? I only mentioned the different ESCs as I believe that the timing can make them sound different if that is different.

RE: Unofficial
Some help please - I have 2 Tear Into's, both with the same motor (but different ESCs) however they sound very different - one is much louder (and a bit faster). What could be causing this ? Is it down to spacing of the impeller ?? Thanks Mike.

RE: Unofficial
I used a car paint restorer called T-Cut to remove the decals - takes a bit of rubbing but gives a very smooth finish

RE: Unofficial
I'm well overdue with some info on my Tear Into's - I started off with one that I bought locally (in the UK) that is orange, and then thought that it would be fun to get another that I could build up for my girlfriend so that we can have races, so I bought another one (and found that for an extra $40 I could get yet another, so ended up with 3). Here they are - I have lots of helis so had loads of motors, ESCs and servos already, so I built them up using those spares. The yellow one runs a with an outrunner, a 30 amp ESC and a mini-servo. The two white "race" NTQs have exactly the same spec - a 2900kV inrunner from GiantCod in the UK, cooling jackets from R2, cheapo Skyartec ESCs, and the same mini servos as the yellow one. We're having great fun with them - guess which is the GF's

RE: Unofficial
I use 1300mah batteries - work fine, 1800mah should be spot on as well, not tried bigger

RE: Unofficial
I take the whole thing out as it gives better access to sort out servo mounting etc.

I use Giant Cod a lot for heli stuff- nice to have someone in the UK as you say. I ordered one of these to try in my Tear Into over the weekend, should arrive today hopefully http://www.giantcod.co.uk/black-mantis-2040-2900kv-inrunner-brushless-motor-p-403839.html

Right - got all of my bits now. Going with Traxxas TX & RX, HobbyKing 30a ESC, eSky 3100kV outrunner. I have numerous 3S lipos from 1100mah up to 2450maH Cheers, Mike.

RE: Unofficial
Guys, I am a newby to the thread, though I have read it all - I have about 3 years of heli flying (sports flying - loops, flips rolls etc.) and felt the need for a bit of diverisification and these look FUN [:D][:D]. I love fiddling so have ordered a couple of these (OK then 3) for me and my G/F to play with. A couple of questions / requests if I may ...... Are you all using water cooled inrunners or have any of you had success using out-runners ? I have various 2.3mm shaft heli outrunners of around 2800 - 3500 KV that I am keen to try. Could someone please show some clear detailed photos of how they have done the water-cooling pick-up in the stator ... without meaning to be rude, most of the pictures aren't very clear ... what did you use for the pick-up ? What size pipe are people using to go between the pickup / cooling jackets / outlet. Thanks in advance for the help (hopefully [;)]) received. Cheers, Mike.
