Mini Quake

[crazyjr]

I got the 1020 11 turn and waiting for the esc, hopefully test it next week.

on a side note, to anybody who wants to try this, you need a 1/8 shaft pinion for the motor and if you are playing with a Mini Quake you need a metric 48 pitch gear. Tower hobbies has a nice selection of metric pinions to choose from, I got evens from 12 tooth to 22 tooth to be sure i can gear it right

great! what esc were you using before and which one are you getting?

[crazyjr]

I had a mamba 25 in it before but, it started to act up. Mike told me the mamba 25 could handle the Lehner without troubles so i'm going to try another. If it acts up i want to try a tekin, but love the computer programming on the mamba. For batteries I'm going to start with 1400 IB 6 cells and eventually go to a maxamps 2s 3300 and 3s 2200 packs

Well the lehner motor experiment is on hold, till i figure out a problem. It seems that either i have it geared wrong, bad reciever or the batteries are not up to snuff. it will go foreward but sort of like a creep till a certian point then it will wheelie like crazy, like the esc has a timer or something. My thoughts are, that its either the batteries are not strong enough for the lehner, the reciever is bad and can't handle the interference or its overgeared. If it was overgeared, it would be held back all the time (brushless doesn't have a powerband, does it). The reciever is a 75 mhz JR rs300 and i have had troubles with brushless and JR recievers, so i'm looking to change up recievers and see if that helps. I got a couple LIPO packs coming from maxamps(7.4 3300mah and 11.1 2200), so i will see if the batteries are the problem. Hpoefully i can figure this out and report back. BTW the lehner is a 1020 11turn with a KV of about 5400

It doesn't sound liek a receiver problem to me Larry. Sounds more like a batt problem. My 18T did the same thing with the stock batt, put the lipo in there and it zooms.
I run all JR receivers by the way. An RS 310, RS 300 x2 and all are fine with my BL set ups. I also run a Novak synthesized in my Jato with my JR radio with no probs.

yeah i figured that much, but like to cover all the bases. I got some Lipo's coming

[crazyjr]

While waiting on the lipo's for the mini quake, I decided to experiment with my Polyquest 2s pack and see if it really was the batteries causing the problems. Long story short, the miniquake almost literally jumped out of my hand when i hit the throttle. Now i got to wait for the rain to clear up and the lipo's to come to test further, but so far, its NASTY

[neweuser]

And that's with the lehner right?

[crazyjr]

Yeah it is

Edit: packs came in today(saturday) and solved all the troubles, now it runs really good
