Reality was 710W/335W -> 2.12 times increase in power.

In your case the 3s pack had sagged more than the 4s pack, so the increase in power was a little higher than the expected calculations.

335 Watts @ 32 Amps would be a 3s pack sagging down to 10.4 Volts
710 Watts @ 48 Amps would be a 4s pack sagging down to 14.8 Volts

(14.8/10.4)^2 -> 2.02 and 2.02 x 335 Watts = 676 Watts

With your current measurements you'd expect (48A/32A)^2 -> 2.25 and 2.25 x 335 Watts = 754 Watts

I think the difference between all these numbers (754/710/676) probably boils down to round off on the current, i.e. fractions of an amp.

Thanks much.
I also had to lower the timing to 8khz to make the motor happy.

Anyone know the "No-load" current of a MEGA 16/25/1,5R? possibly at 10 volts. Thanks

I don't have the answer you are looking for.

If you have not bought it yet...instead of that one; Consider running 16/30/2 D

KV wise: (With same turns & same size)
D = 1.72 Y (I think not more than 1.75 Y)

It maybe more robust than 16/25/1.5RY

***Hope your other project turned out nice.

Hi gryphon, I actually just got the motor back yesterday. I am extremely impressed with how it turned out. That end cap is beefy and the cooling holes are huge. I was a little worried the motor would be marred during the upgrade, but there is not a scratch! Im very impressed with Mega's work. Thanks so much for making this happen. You are a good dude. Thanks man.

Need a little help, searched and can't find it. I have a futaba 9c flying my Stryker. I've tried the spectrum programming I've found but doesn't work.

Can someone tell me were I might find futaba programming for rudder speed brakes? I already have the rudders on separate channels. I've tried rudder to flap mixing, but that didn't work.

Thanks, Steve

Rudder?
Better ask in the Stryker Q thread.....

Oh shoot, what an idiot - me, not you. Yes I'll find it. Thanks for showing me the obvious

Here you go the manual,should be in here some where..

Two questions, I am starting a new one with a blank I bought a while back. Sanding off the mold bits for now.

Initially I will use the existing power plant. and will eventually rebuild the original. So here goes

1. I want a nice smooth finish and I like the lightweight gliding. I was thinking of coating with a spackle/water/paint mix for finish or paint with WBPU and laying down a little silkspan. Anyone got some advice?

Second, what would a 30 amp setup give me over the stock motor?

Did you get sorted with your mix?

1) Check post #15317 about "Popcorning". http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...t#post22849157
I believe this is the best way to get the strength and finish you're looking for.

2) 30A on what voltage? 30A on a 3S LiPo will not be very different from the stock Stryker C. Not what I would consider an "upgrade" anyway.

Forgot it is a 2950kv

Yes, got it done. ProMix 1 - offset to rudder 1; ProMix 2 - offset to rudder 2, both on same switch. Thanks.

Do you have a link to the motor specs? Which prop and lipo are you planning to use?
