what motors did u use bill

[bill34207]

Those are the HET 70-68 1680kv motors that were in my Cheetah, Ron. If they work out for the Avenger I'll get a couple of the 2200kv versions to put back in the Cheetah.

as u know lol I am not the most experienced guy around ...but never heard of that brand of motor....as I recall the cheetah did pretty well

[bill34207]

Knowing that name comes from playing electric jets. The HET 700 series is actually a pretty good alternative to the higher priced Neu's. The 70-68 is 1515 size and available in several kv ranges. Biggest difference is even the long can motors are only 39 mm on the case OD. (same as a 1515 where the 1521 - 1530 are 40 mm) That's ok though. We all know somebody that can make cooling jackets for them http://shop.turbofanelectrics.com/ca...?categoryId=33
The ones in the Cheetah worked pretty good on 6s but are too low kv for running on 4.

I am trying to get my P-mono ready for Sunday. I was out of carbon fiber I needed to make servo mount and stuff and last night I came across an old car frame so I am back in business.

I did my typical starting of the generator the night before and it wont start. I got it to light for about 5 seconds after about 300 pulls and it wouldn't start again. So if anyone has a generator we can use tomorrow, please bring it. Ill bring all the sound equip as well as the gen but Im fed up and giving up on it tonight

Hey Chris. Your Cheetah made the website as a button for April-June. (Came out pretty good for a frame grab)

Cool Bill, that's a awsome picture! Man that thing looks dead perfect on the rear ride pad, Scott should patent that hull mod he came up with

[flraptor07]

Hey Bill, If you can do me a favor and go through that video to see if there is a clear enough section of the video to see if there is good water flow out the exhaust pipes. I couldn't see it good enough when I was running it. Everything checked good temp wise but I like to know how much flow there is.

That was a pretty thick NAMBA packet that arrived in my mail today. Now I'm going to have to go back and re-read the electric section since most of the pages were for it.
