Another Pre-Christmas arrival - WoodStuff 3.5 Tunnel!

Hi Darin,

Wondering where you had the temperature sensor mounted on the battery to recieve that data on your Eagle Tree ?

Thanks

I had the end of the Temp sensor taped to the side of the pack, so it's just measure surface temps... Would be interesting to fit one down under the heat-shrink right alongside the cells...

I am going to set up my DX3S telemetry gear for this weekends race meeting and fit the temperature probe between the two middle cells in my EA Mono, Should be interesting.

Nice stats, How did you place? and was that motor temp or battery? I am thinking motor.

Just been analyzing some of the other data from earlier test runs on Saturday... Here is a test using a different prop than the previous chart. I chose not to race with this one, because it's not refined enough yet and the handling wasn't quite right yet...

Was your temp off the motor? and are you able to check your amp draw? Are you running 4s2p? or 2 4s1p packs in parallel? The speed increase is very noticable on this test and your temps look pretty good as well.

Sorry about the temp question (DURR)

Sorry about the temp question (DURR)

No problem... the temp in this is actually Battery temps... I haven't run a prop outside the cowl yet to monitor the motor. I'll do that next time out.

The setup is 4S1P Elite 5300mah pack, ProBoat ESC and Motor.

Yes, I do have the amp-draw charts as well, but I'm going to keep those and the specifics of the props I'm testing close to the vest for now. I don't know what the longevity of this setup is going to be, and don't want to get people out there trying them until I have more time on the system. You can't just buy the props we're using anyhow... except as a raw starting point.
