Trex 600 ESP 12s conversion!

[mh3400]

You can always considering converting to electric, just sell of your nitro items, should be able to cover back the conversion parts

Ah Tan's (previously mine ) Trex600ESP is on 6s5000mah and its more than enough for him

haha, nitro is still inside me le.

And to state a FACT, all the Trex ESP in PFW are bought online from overseas. When we wanted to buy, there are no availability locally. It is also cheaper anyway from overseas so....

Can a LHS complain about me stating a fact here? I doubt so, we are not in North Korea.

we know that. hahaha. but only one LHS i like to buy from

Edmund, fret not. I am sure you will go back to Nitro one of these days.

MARK MY WORDSss..

Thanks for the info and sharing ur research edmond22. Alot of 8s and 10s set-ups. Few 12s.

Wish I can pass u the logger and log in some flight of urs. Tis makes the data much more appreciated, obtained by our very own local production.

Hey Balance Mind,

I actually did not measure anything up to date but I did a lot of research and have the following to share with you. The Kontronik I am using is always just warm allowing you to hold your finger there with no discomfort.

I got this from http://helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=24113&page=8 , see attachment of his logged data. I am running 80% as opposed to his 75%. 75% will yield about 2160 HS while 80% will yield about 2200 HS. I am running +-12 now at 80% governed for a typical 5 min flight. Usually that will let me draw about 2100 mah out of the 3000. Hard 3D practice will see about 2400 which is not so good for the batts (80%), esp when i keep practising 4 pt tic toc etc. Piroflips and such are a lot easier on the batts. Tic Tocs constantly is the killer lol.

After I change to the 6mm shaft and use back the Align 14t, it is holding up alright so far. Some advocated changing of the main gear to the Trex 700 one for more strength but I haven;t encountered any issues yet, just dun run insane collective with it, those are the primary reasons for stripping, +-12 seems about the limit you can stick bang without care and get away with it.

Edit: FYI, I am using 20c lipo Flightmax 3000 6s for series 12s. For that price and 3 days EMS shipping, I converted to electric from nitro TO SAVE MONEY, flying Nitro in SG is too expensive compared to US or Malaysia.

Using UOB currency converter:
- In Malaysia http://www.boononline.com/coolpower%20index.htm - 30% CP SGD 47.91
- In US http://www.zoomsheli.com/ProductDeta...tegoryID=60186 - 30% CP SGD 41.30, 4 gallons SGD 142.40 (35.6 each)
- In Singapore, the cheapest I can find is SGD 58, even with discount $52.20
- Electric - SGD $146.63 for the Flightmax 3000 6s, If I expect only 50 flights, that will be $2.93 per flight, way more power than 30% nitro and half as cheap to $5.20 per nitro flight. Only drawback is 5min vs 8min.

haha, nitro is still inside me le.

The Chinese weight is a mod done to the tail grip. This mod helps to lessen the load on the tail servo. See post 26, there is a youtube video to show the load needed to turn the tail blade before and after the mod.
