Etti Race just came in....

[westbeach]

I should have the next batch in a few days, same price.

Any ideas if these are on route or still a few weeks off? Would like one, and if possible put on hold for me as I will out of town from mid Dec till end of the year. Thanks Steve!

[Steven Vaccaro]

I just checked the tracking and its on a plane somewhere. I will hang on to one for ya, just send me an email on the ose contacts page.

OK! Now I'm seriously interested. This is the first time a company has taken the use of extra capacitors seriously.

I know it's made a huge difference in the lifespan of my Castles. I add 4x470's to all my LV castles escs.

So if I wanted to beef up my CC Hydra 120, how many 35V 560mF capacitors would I solder in parallel ? 4?

[BILL OXIDEAN]

I used an ETTI 125 to bump N-2 offshore SAWS record at the LA SAWS
I have sevral versions, many that I used at the 2008 nats, I took 2nd in LSH with the 70 amp and 2nd in N-2 hydro with the 200 amp version (discontinued)

ETTI makes LOTS of REALLY neat products, their struts propelled my micro hydro to 50mph with a 19-turn motor!!

Awesome water Jackets clear! GREAT prices on everything too..

They have a product that I REALLY want to try.. A SAWS capacitor bank to wire into your existing 150 to give it more "punch" for all out power!

Check it out!! http://www.etti.com.hk/index.php?language=en

For those of you that speak Castellano... there is a joke that goes for these kinda products...
once you buy it and then ask about warranties, the seller goes... "la garantia soy jo" (the warranty is me), implying that it does not need a warranty.
I always liked that one... if it makes no sense, I guess it does not translate the same.
I know there are lots of people using Ettis and they are recommended, but a warranty is always welcome.
BTW, I am not trying to imply that Etty is a bad product, it's just the warranty thing...

Umm.. I've sent back 6 and have had ZERO problem with warranty..
Dee Chan over at ETTI is a WONDERFUL person very passionate about these little boats, and the end user.. And for the record communicates Quite well in english..

We must never SPECULATE how companies will respond..
These guys are good, and their products seldom fail.. The speedos that went out were from "shorted-out" motors, and user error (grossly over-amped)

Etti esc's are in. Cap banks are also in.

Steven,

Do these work with other ESCs besides the ETTI?? Do you have a shot of how they hook-up??

[Diegoboy]

I must have been reading your mind Darin!

[Darin Jordan]

I must have been reading your mind Darin!

That's a little frightening...

As requested Darin.

Thanks Douggie

Douggie is that your picture? If so can I have permission to use it on OSE products site?

Steven, it is from the ETTI site. You have a PM

I too am interested in how much "headroom" this board will give us. I have a couple coming to play with and will report any findings or fryings.

[Flying Scotsman]

Bill, how will you determine this in a scientific method. Same boat, same setup, etc and then compare the results with an ESC with and one without the added cap protection, and the method of comparing results. Just currious, but way to go. We await your results

Who said anything about "scientific"??

I'll just run bigger and bigger props until something blows!!!

I just bust a gut on that answer. It should have said documented method

Douggie

[Bill-SOCAL]

And I know how to do it too. I have a fired 2280, fried 3060, TWO fried 1527s and a a pair of toasted 40.160s to prove it too!!!

Documentation will be in the form of "Holy Crap!! I guess that prop WAS too big after all"!!!

I surely wish I had that type of funding? I blew a $55 HiModel and almost died...

[Flying Scotsman]

Bill, as usual you have supplied the goods. My God, I would not want to be your banker.
Thanks for taking so many for the team.

Douggie

[Flying Scotsman]

Gentleman, Bill pushes the envelope on all his boats and also has an engineer's viewpoint on the process of what you can and can not do...WITHIN LIMITS.

Douggie

[Bill-SOCAL]

Limits?? We don't need no steenking limits!!!!

As far as my BBQ collection goes, perhaps you can see why I race gas boats now!!!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

IMPOPRTANT. I just realized they shipped me the 6-16 cell version, not the 6-20 cell. I will be trying to straighten this out asap.

[calcagno45]

Good catch Steven!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Would have been a better catch if I did so before listing them for sale and selling a few!

[Steven Vaccaro]

I just found out that when I asked for the race 150 WITH bec, that the max voltage is only 5s/16 nimh cells. It was my mistake to overlook that spec.
I will have the race 150 6s/20nimh with NO bec in about 2 weeks.

[Bill-SOCAL]

double post

[Bill-SOCAL]

I'm confused. The one I have here has a label on the top that reads:

Input Voltage 6-30V
Current 150A
NiMH 6-20 Cells
LiPo 2-7 Cells
Resistance 0.001 ohms

The instruction sheet has a table across the first page that says this:

Type: ETTI 150-6-20
Voltage: 6-30V
Amp (A): 150
FET: 30
IR (ohms) : 0.001
NiMH Cells: 6-20
LiPO Cells: 2-7
BEC: NO
Size (mm): 95x50x13

Doesn't matter to me, I will be running only 4S, but the label is not 5S or 6S as Steven in noting.

So which one do I have??
