I have one of these Smart Guard battery checkers and it does a great job of monitoring cells or packs as they are charging or to them before use. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...-checking-tool In later years I bought a few of these really inexpensive "voltage tester" battery monitoring displays and alarm devices from Banggood and and those are so small and light you can just leave them on the pack as it is used and see exactly what is going on with every cell and the pack voltage. And the audible alarm for the low voltage is adjustable so you can set it to a voltage you'd like: http://www.banggood.com/search/voltage-tester.html And you can get those on eBay too, faster but not quite as cheap... http://tinyurl.com/kybvmyp Jack |

What I used besides the Watt meter was a little battery checker that I monitored each cell discharge .
As far as chargers, yes, I am considering a FMA , Cellpro Powerlab 6 and since I am used to FMA products I'm going to stay with this brand. |

Is the Powerlab 6 capable of measuring+display internal resistance of LiPo cells ? iChargers (4010 duo ...) can do Louis |

Yes it does. Both of my CellPro 10S chargers measure internal resistance.

Wireless Programming Card http://www.rcdude.com/product-p/programmerir.htm IR Sensor http://www.rcdude.com/product-p/receiverir.htm From the Scorpion website: To see if this is the correct programmer for your ESC, look at the serial number that is laser engraved on the gold heatsink plate on the ESC. If your ESC is the new Version 3 style this programmer will work. If the serial number has "VV2" in the middle of it, then it is a Version 2 ESC, and this is the correct programming card. If it does not have "VV2" in the middle of the serial number, or if it has no serial number at all, then it is a V1 ESC. |

I just bought a Cobra 80 amp wing Bheli esc. It is my first Cobra ESC. I can't program it via the computer. The Scorpion program won't recognize the ESC. I have loaded and unloaded the driver about six times and manually selected the com port, but no luck. I did a few errors the first time I loaded the software, because I didn't notice that you need to load the driver software first before plugging the 2.0 usb converter doggle. You guys may want to highlight that on your website. It was in fine print in the directions. Anyway, any pointers? I really want to get the brake off.
Thanks in advance QB |

It seems like it is covered in the listing for the programmer.

quitcherbitchen,
Scorpion and Cobra are two completely different brands of products made by two completely different companies. We here at Innov8tive Designs are the distributors of both brands, but they are two completely different product lines. If you need to program your Cobra Wing series ESC's, you will need to get a Cobra USB Programming Interface. The USB Drivers and Programming Interface are also available for download at the same link. Best Regards, Lucien Miller Innov8tive Designs, Inc. |

Will it work with a plain FTDI+atmega ( arduino NANO or else) it is the same driver as blheli suite one wire programing with my arduino NANO (D3+GND) |

Hi folks
I have a Scorpion HKIII-4025-1100kv I bought 2nd hand that was pulled from a short lived heli. I'd like to install it in a project plane in pusher prop configuration ie mounted on the rear of an edf airframe, bolted to the fwd side of the tail firewall with the prop shaft sticking out the back with a collet style prop adaptor. I've done some reading and now know my original intention to remove and reverse the motor shaft is not practicably possible. Can the bearings/c clip tollerate lateral thrust as a pusher prop? Are the mounting screw threads strong enough to cope with thrust? Should I cut down the long motor shaft to avoid oscillation type vibration, with the prop adaptor & prop at the end of the motor shaft? And I'll probably start on 8 cell, has anyone used one of these motors as fixed wing config who would have an idea where to start with prop size? Thanks kindly for any advice, my project has stopped until I can decide on power |

You may want to rethink using 8S for your voltage as that will severely limit your prop size on an already high Kv motor. Just quickly looking at it in Scorpion Calc it looks like you would be limited to a 7-8" prop max. If you were to use 4S then you can run props up to 11" or a steep pitch 9x9 prop for high speed (120mph pitch speed). One example of a decent setup may be 4S on 10x7 prop for 80A, 99mph, 117oz (7.3lbs) thrust. That should give you a starting point for bench testing with a wattmeter (or and ESC with data logging). Here's a link to the Scorpion Calc thread here on RCG so you can download it and start playing with the numbers. I also attached a screenshot of the example setup I just gave you. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...lator-%28SC%29 Fly on! Randy |
