| has anyone ever experimented with taking a 30 size nitro machine (Raptor or similar), and put twin 540 sized motors on it? I thought there might be cost advantages to running two cheaper 540 car motors, and ESC's rather than one expensive brushless and expensive ESC. I figured you might then be able to run two seperate 8-10 cell packs as well.
When I was a teen, I used to have a Tamiya Clodbuster monster truck. It ran one 540 motor per axle, and has tons of power. It had a switch to change the motor wiring from parallel to series at one flick (only ran 7 cells though). On one setting you had lots of power, but short run time, and the other setting had lots of run time, but at reduced power.
I thought maybe these same principals could be used on a e-Heli
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions? |
