The Shakedown
Clean Layout
Refinements to electronic layout/wirINg was made improving performance, reliability, and especially Safety. Trimmed Body shell.
Powered by
10S Lipo - 36V 140C Burst & 4+10 Capacitors for Quick Boost in Power Surge. Installed 2-switches, the First to Power-Up RX and Servo via Castle
[email protected]. And the second Switch to power-up the MGM ESC (Does not have an internal BEC). ESC has a built in Anti-Spark. ESC Setting are done via MGM's Software.
Aerodynamics
Installed Grafil SCRR Bodyshell and Body Mount (to discard Cage). Hoping that the SCRR will improve on aerodynamics (Speed and Battery Efficiency), PLUS I like Short Course. Further Reduce weight by discarding Cage and F/R bumpers (Zero of Plans to to BASH, No Way -- HAHA!). After seeing how nice Pigie Speeds, it was very tempting to buy every aftermarket part, especially those shiny 6065 aluminums -Bulkhead and the likes. I decided to go with beefy stock plastic parts, and spend money on Batteries & Tires.
What's Next/Remaining
So what else needed tone done? Waiting on an 18T Motor Spacer. I wanted to improve meshing of spur Gear and Pinion 58/18. Kinda noisy because of the loose gap. That's it Folks! Everything set, I can confidently strap-in an additional 5S, the MAXX for MGM equivalent to 20 horses.
Thank for your Interest and Patience.For this planning a Large Scale E-Conversion, I hope you are able to draw some ideas.
