I just got a few 8717's and also a spektrum dual voltage reg..(crack kit)

I am getting ready to build another logo 600 3d with vbar and was wondering if the vbar can handle the 8volt input?

The spektrum regulator is somply a reg for the tail...and the rest of the servos get direct juice from the 2s lipo...meaning the 8volts will need to flow through the vbar...

Anyone tried it yet?

I'd hate to fry a new vbar unit..

Yes it will. My buddy Cgbole has a e-synergy with 8717's and vbar running striaght off a 2s lipo.

You will have to leave out the expo to do some cracking. I've flown his several times and with enough expo to feel right, it was pretty mushy around center. I think he is running 25-30% on expo. My trex with vbar is the same way.

setup...

so you guys are running a 2s lipo directly through a switch to the vbar? and then running a spektrum reg to just the tail servo?

I have heard of some people using the 8717's on tail also? I was planning on a 9256..so I bought the regulator..

Right now its a duralite reg for the tail servo everything else is on the 2s lipo. He's been talking about trying a 8717 on the tail to remove the regulator completely.

My next immediate project is to try to convert this 3DMPE I just bought to vbar...

That should be cool...

We have the crack kit on Chris's Logo 600 Flybarless and its amazing. It like switching to a high speed tail servo but for the cyclic.

right now i'm running the duralite reg between the batt and the switch. so everything is only getting 5.6v. and a 5.1 step down on the tail. (8900 g). i plan on getting the spektrum reg for the tail and run the 8717's on 8v.

Hi

Just for an information-
I tryed the 8717 on the V-Bar tail without any luck.
The tail kicked from side to side and it disappeared after the
change to an 9256 Tailservo.

It was in my Nt with Nitro.
I will try after converting to Electro and see if the kicking still
happends.

it could be great to get rid of the regulator for the tailservo....and the 8717 is damn stromg too.

regards Janis

...exist something better than V-bar and women...

you can crack without 8717's, I crack a minicopter acrobat with 9252's and a buddy cracks a stratus with the same servos, I get a little pissed off about JR's ads personally.

my vbar trex600n is on crack also......

no problems at all

i use the spectrum reg to step down the tail servo and my digi3155 servo on throttle it works really good.

i dont use a switch i just make a heavy duty wire dual lead plug which goes to the rx so2 power leads go into the rx and the other end i use a ultra deans i just plug in to fly unplug when done flying
