Removed the new feature due to Mozilla browser not following the W3C rules. :mad:1

Edit: Nevermind. I got it to work except in Opera...

how about adding the plettenbergs to the motor list... Maxximum, Maxximum w/fan, BigMaxximum w/fan, Shadow, Extreme, Bolido,

BrianG 01.29.2007 03:31 PM

I would... if Mike carried them. Since this is his forum, I try to stick with products he carries...

coolhandcountry 01.29.2007 04:50 PM

I am pretty sure mike can get the pletts. He just don't carry them for low demand.

Well, if you say it's ok, it must be since you're a mod. :)

OK, so, what motors do you want on there? I'll enter them, you just have to do the research. ;)

I'll need the following:
  • Motor name/model
  • kv
  • max efficient rpm recommended by the manufacturer
  • quality rating. This is a three point system; "good" (Feigao/Wanderer), "better" (Mamba motors, LMT Basic series, etc), "best" (LMT, Neu).
  • The can size; 380, 540, etc
  • motor length
  • motor diameter
  • weight
  • flange diameter if any. (the raised area around the shaft)
  • shaft length
  • shaft diameter

The first 3 are mandatory and are needed for all motor calculator pages. The next 2 are for the motor selector page - if there are no values, that motor won't ever be offered as a choice. The last 6 are simply for informational purposes for the "Misc data" page.

Do you need kv under load correct?

BTW I didn't see a 17turn lehner on there. :)

BrianG 01.30.2007 11:16 AM

Yes, preferably under load if available.

At the time the original motor list was created, I stuck to items Mike carries in stock since those seem to be the more common ones. Even then, the list seems a bit long. It has grown to the point now that I don't think it'll matter if I add two or two dozen. :)

Just added a diagram to the Lipo Wiring page (scroll to the bottom) which shows how to wire up balancer Y adaptors when using two seperate packs. Currently, there are only entries for Hyperion balancer connectors, but if someone wants the wiring scheme of other types of connectors, let me know...

Nice addition Brian! This will help many since there arent any clear diagrams on how to wire the balancers up! Thanks!

No problem! :) I too noticed there were not too many diagrams and saw that question asked several times.

That saves me some time :D.

I don't know what's going on, but the server where R/C Calculations is hosted is having problems. I called them earlier today and they said it would be only a few hours to fix, but it's been over 12 hours.

Anyone want to host a mirror? I can supply the files in a ZIP archive. Mike? :)

Serum 03.16.2007 09:27 AM

Looks like starluckrc is hosted by the same guys...

BrianG 03.16.2007 09:34 AM

I have my whole site hosted through 1and1.com, which were quite reliable (up until now). Grr. But I suppose these things happen. Makes me wonder how hard it is to simply replace the bad component in the server? Even if that was a bad disk, I can upload everything again. I'd rather do that than wait this long. All I know is if the servers I am in charge of where I work were down this long, I'd be in the unemployment line!

Good thing you don't work there then. We may have some good deals for you
RCs. ;)
