Yep.... Here's my new build....

[kfxguy]

Epoxy time! I didn't think I was going to get to it this fast. Sunday I'll start installing the motor mount and removable stuffing tube. That's the only way I fly now. If I need to replace the tube, it comes out easily.

Well because on castles website it clearly states is ok to shorten them. Also I've done it numerous times and never had a problem.

Read the note at the bottom of the chart

Thanks for the info , KFXguy , its always good too read the fine print . Looking good Mr .

Hey no problem man! I remember a while back I was stressing about making them shorter. I came across that and my mind was set at ease. Now I can tell what kind of wires can and can't be shortened. All that I've seen, silicon wires (like battery wires) can be shortened. Wires that are stiff or have heat shrink the whole length.... You better check first. Likely they can't.

I'm Ok with that! I tell you, I think I build em pretty tough. My cheetah and rivercat took some nasty flips today and nothing came loose. Be looking for my vids on them. I manned up and ran the rivercat on beast mode today. How bout 6s on a 2200kv 1515 castle motor. Barely got warm but frigging hauled a$$! It would smoke my cheetah! Ima have to line them up soon. Be watching for the thread.... I'm uploading vids now......

Here is is on 6s, 642 prop.... Tell me what prop I shoukd go up to next.... It barely got warm.... It flipped because I turned it a little too much trying to straighten it out.

Nice running Travis, x or m445 well S/B ...SAW runs only, thats as big as we ever go on those 2200kv. Watch your heat with those size props.

[kfxguy]

Here's where I'm at. Got most of the hard stuff done

[straitline]

Kfxguy, can you share your cheetah set up. I have one too but prop walk is my issue. Thinking of turning it into a dual set up to get some decent runs out of it. what is your strut set at for one question. But for now it just fights itself as I try to go in a strait line.
Thanks

[kfxguy]

I have the strut level. Bout 1/8" from the table what everything is flat. S/B 447/3 that has been thinned out a little. I've noticed I'll get prop walk on a prop that isn't real sharp and thin. Right now it runs straight as can be. 62.0mph on some partially ran down batts. I sharpened the rudder and the strut since that pass too so it may be a touch faster especially with fresh batts.

[straitline]

Thanks I will try that set up on my Cheetah.....

Travis, very clean look, I like that ....DJ
