ok guys . forgive me if there is a related thread here somewhere .
maybe this thread might be able to become a sticky .
i would like this to be an educational thread where members like myself can learn about the transition from gas engines to electrics .
examples : motor differences (size , speed , power ,rpm per volt , amps etc) and what these actually mean .
: speed controllers and compatability with motors and batteries .
:battery differences and applications.
:battery chargers
: any other things appropriate .
example of why ?
eg , i'm a beginner and want to buy a new plane , the website offers a suggestion of hardware to be fitted . say the website suggests a motor heres a link package
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...duct=15160.
now what if i want a bigger motor , and it has 550rpm /volt instead of 670 rpm /volt . and what about if i want to upgrade the esc .
its not so simple when its new to you , i've tried to learn online . but really havent been able to grasp any detail .
any help advice appreciated , and any thing else here no matter how hi tech -for the experts even .
but in simple laymans terms : the basics explained would be a big help . cause i often read that suggested motors etc are underpowered of the esc is crap etc etc etc .
it was pretty straight forward with glow plug engines /props /fuel mixes etc.
today we have different rpms per volt / faster and slower batteries FFS!
GET MY DRIFT .
THANKS IN ADVANCE . [/font]
