Finally made the move to BL

[egneg]

Thanks to Dunkanjerry I have made the move to a brushless motor. I have installed a KB-45L and a 70 amp Cermark ESC. I had to go back to my stick TX to get the ESC to arm but what the hey. I will start with a Prather 215 and go from there. Here is a pic of what I have and will try it out this weekend.

I'll bring the camera!

Nice setup i think you will be pleased with performance.

Given the dramas that I have had over the last few weeks in regards to glitching, I have narrowed down the suspects my two favourite brushed 23t superstock cans.
I really like the performance that I get and know that I will get more when I go BL but I am now pouring money down the pond with brush replacements etc
The big kicker for going to BL is the cost of the ESC.
I can get BL cans for about the same price as brushed, but the matching speedy is twice the price.
I have now chosen to run the brushed cans to death with my tunnel and maybe the cat.
For the others I can get away with 2 BL cans and 1 speedy to run the Balsa fleet.
That is the rigger, hybrid-hydro, canard, small cat.

Thanks to Chuck(egneg). He has given me the last push that I needed to get into the modern world.
BL here I come. !!!!

there are 100 Amp 2s-6s speedo's for $65. 12s versions for $95.

People have used these with Neu 1515 1d's in tunnels without any problems at all.

There's another for $30.

You wan't links?

I too was a stick in the mud and would not make the switch. Months ago Taylor Shaw suggested just such a setup on another forum when I was looking to upgrade the original motors in my hurricane. I didn't want to make a switch for all the same reasons you have stated. I wanted to switch them out with a drop in replacement which I did with a pair of 15 turn brushed motors. I then went direct drive with a 700SC. I was very happy with the results until diego boy and dirty south came along and I saw what brushless was all about. In comes duncanjerry with a boat that does 80 mph and I was sold. I just made a good deal on a pair of firefox 2S-3700-25c lipo's so I have been dragged into the modern age hook-line-and sinker but I still like the simplicity of my GP3300's. Oh well now I need to find a good deal on a balancer for the lipo's. It does seam as if advances in technology always lead to a more complicated world.

Thanks for the link as that balancer seems to fill the bill.

Allright Chuck! Seems the snake has bitten. Hey, thanks again for the awesome work on the props! I hope you are available to do more in the future. If your not too busy driving your new boat and making your own.LOL!

I have had the chance to run the BL setup in the hurricane for the second time. I still need to do a bit of tweaking but am happy with the results so far.

re move to brushless

smart choice to go brushless chuck.


pretty good speeds first time out in your hurricane. are you using lipo batteries yet?

im getting 90+ kph out of my blackjack brushless with 6s lipo and that awesome prop you prepped for me.

[egneg]

Yes running 4s, but today did not seem as fast as last weekend, will switch props back and see how it goes.

[Diegoboy]

I was there for that run! She has run faster before

[egneg]

I slowed down the video that Diego took of my first run w/ a brushless setup on lipo's.
