RX8 gets caps for new crt.5 project -
07.21.2009, 01:15 AM
The Tekin RX8 has been impressive enough for me to buy another one for a new speed project. I'm taking back the crt.5 from my son to make a dragster/speed demon out of it. He'll get my hyper 7 instead to race with as I got tired of replacing parts on his 1/18. The Tekin didn't come with a fan as I bought it used. But no worries, it will get a bigger 12V fan to keep it cool enough in this crazy Houston heat. I have a 5s B50 7400kv Hacker motor that hasn't seen much use ever since I have bought it. That sucker kept blowing tires up in my pan cars, but will see how it works in the crt.5. As I use A123's, I will be adding two 1800uf 35v caps and a pair of TVS for giggles. That should take care of ripples of the massive voltage drops that I am expecting. In the GTP the 3 extra caps get around 130F after a run. I'll add more as I progress.
