Anyone get this?
 

No, should I?

I bought but haven't really read it yet..

Whats the e-conversion guide like?

I have not read it, but i can imagine "weak". I wish that someone who knows what they are doing would write the brushless stuff. I find at least 3 fatal mistakes in every article I read. One of them was hilarious, they tried to say that a bl motor had 3 wires, and one was pos, one was neg, and the other "told" the esc what to do...

Figures, I guess I will have to pick it up and check for fatal errors...:rules:

Good to see that we have someone who is knowledgeable writing articles. I am guessing that you will be writing more? If you need any proofreading just let me know...

The article is 3 pages long.. It covers everything in a conversion from motor/esc and batteries to gearing and brakes. Mike does get some recognition in it.. They show his RC8T.. Overall it is good publicity for the world of brushless..

Any way someone could possibly scan it? I'd be interested to read it, and I am sure others would be too...

I will try and remember to take my magazine to work and scan it on Monday..

Were you able to scan it?

I forgot it today.. I put it on the counter for tomorrow..

I am limited to what I can access at work so I had to scan them seperatly to be under the 1mb limit... but here they are...

2 more..

Good stuff. But 2 questions, I guess your just always supposed to use a smaller pinion,whether your overgeared or undergeared :D I guess the editors missed that, and who did MA pay off to have their batteries pictured????/?? :p

Lucias - Thank you very much!

Dam sorry about that it is an error (i'll check my orginal copy) The first one should have been bigger..

Feel free to flame... Scans 1, 2 & 3 were mine...

Also have to say big thank you to TDC57 (Shaun) for proof reading...

Did you notice that it says to use a smaller pinion whether undergeared or overgeared?

Also, was it a coincidence that there were four MA packs next to the section about puffing? :-)

Very enjoyable read! Lots of great info.

Edit: asheck beat me to it

YAY editorial error! This is my text!

General rule of brushless gearing
Hot motor, Cool controller, cool batteries = Undergeared i.e. increase pinion size
Cool motor, Hot controller, hot batteries = Overgeared i.e. decrease pinion size
Warm motor, warm controller, warm batteries = happy components

So any and all errors are Shauns fault. Good idea Chris, let him take the blame:lol:

I will now read the articles that were scanned, thanks lucias for doing that!

Actually the editor changing my text :)

Shaun did a great job - but any mistakes are of course his ;)

Congrats Arc, what was the compensation for writing all that out and giving away the golden secrets ? - TY for scanning it Lucias

Zero - I asked to do it :)

I figured the more we get the message out correctly the better...

Cool man, nice job. Wish I read that 2 years ago. Published Author

So true, good job Chris... Hopefully it is put on the summer reading list for the noobs...

Just an FYI on the Tekno conversion they reviewed, it was actually a 1515 1.5 Y, not a 1.5 D they were running. Lol, a 1.5D on that 6s 35c FullyMax pack would be a little much:yes:
