The KV might not be 1500. It was a guess at best. It maybe closer to 1600. I really haven't tried to measure it, nor felt the need. I just kept trying different winds till I found which worked the best, this was on 3 cell Emolis. I then switched to 4 cell A123 and rewound adding one more turn and it...

BenJammin, I tried the emolis but found them like you did, to loose capacity and punch after a few cycles at 10C. I really think they are more of and 7 to 8C battery. I so far am finding the A123s to be longer-lasting, hold voltage better under heavy loads, and faster recharging. Currently the two s...

My motors are approximately 1500 KV. I looked at the Ammo motors but couldn't find one in the under $65 and a 5 mm shaft and the right KV. Thus when I found the Scorpions I was very happy. I would stay away from the UH LiFe, So far results seem to be that they do not match up well when compared to R...

The reason you won't see Mega motor is the price limit in SSC. No Megas are under the limit.

I am using the Scorpians. I use the 30-14 with a 6 turn wind. A $25 ESC from BP hobbies and 4 cell A123. This will turn the 8X3 right at 17500 for about 5.5 minutes.

Nick, I think you will find plenty of people already doing (Full contact)combat with wings. The big problem with wings are towing streamers, and that is a core part of RCCA style combat. That said It can be done, Slam and I have both used zagi style flying wings to pull streamers in combat. I think ...

Fred, the reality of electrics is that they are not easy. There is no direct equation of converting nitro to electric. Eflight came close with their series of electric motors, they have 15 25 46 etc sized motors. But the reality is if you want to fly electric, one of the best ways is to copy what so...
