| after flying only sermos for a couple years (and having to replace the plastic shrouds occassionally due to cracking) I converted everything over to deans ultra. They are tight and I know many people complain about this,but I think of the tightness as a huge benefit (never can shake appart like the sermos). Also, after venturing out past the wimpy 25~30 amp electric setups, and into things pulling 70~80~100 amps on occasion, it's very apparent what sort of loss the sermos have in comparison. I think it was a bit over $100 I spent the day I bought all those packs of deans ultra plugs,.. and was probably the best investment I ever made in the hobby. if staying with low-power stuff, not going over 30 amps, sermos are Ok,.. but this is a heli forumn, and in helis you can pull 2 to 3 times that at peak, even when hover current is measured in the 20 amp range (lots of cyclic and full collective really draws a lot of current,.. MUCH more than you might think). |
