^^ Agreed. Even 10 to 15 years ago a 10 second 0-60 wasnt seen as a bad number. 0-60 in 7 or 8 seconds 20 years ago was sports car area... Its the same thing when i'm traveling for work and sitting on a plane and some idiot next to me is huffing and puffing and being all bitchy because hes...

screw it.... i paid a tax on the item once....WHY EXACTLY DOES THE GOVERNMENT BELIEVE THAT A USED ITEM THAT IS TRANSFERRING HANDS NEEDS TO BE TAXED AGAIN!?! sorry for the caps but that infuriates me...

nobody said you cant do it, its just a question whether the time and effort and the rest of the parts cost is justifiable when going to a bigger motor for an extra 30 dollars or so would yield MUCH better performance. we had a saying in street racing days...throw enough 100 dollar bills at ANY...

Couple of problems with such a small motor and such a high KV. if you intend to feed that thing any sort of decent voltage it will spin WAY too high....say 48V at 900rpm/V = 43200 RPM!! lets use 80% efficiencly thats still 34500 RPM. I'm pretty sure that a. that motors bearings cant survive...

LeaderHobby has the motors back in stock if anyone is interested...

For some unexplained reason McMaster-Carr wont ship to Canada, or ship to US if you are buying from Canada :roll: :roll: i'm looking for other website/resources where i can buy #25 chain sprockets. Also i'm looking for freewheel adapters. Recumbence no longer sells them and FFR trikes wants...

i believe Burtie is the only one that sells them. The sad part is work is litered with 3phase servo driven motors that have built in encoders, these motors are the industry used $1000 and up motors and i dont know how to utilise them. BTW does anyone know if the 3phase motors we use are DC or...

Open loop vs Closed loop system...simple. Cars have the ability to monitor the a/f mixture and compensate the fuel intake to trim to proper ratio. Motorcycles do not. Some motorcycles do have 02 sensors but its for part load cruise only and it doesnt really help that much. Also super sport and...

yea i was gonna say T&B is what i use....get em from work where we order Industrial grade stuff... but you really wanna hold something? + = course, when not fixing planes its also great for just securing stuff....

Final update, the motor has arrived yesterday! its def the same Turnigy 80-100 that HK sells minus the labels...also it uses allen head countersunk screws for the can instead of philips the way HK uses it. havent run it as i'm waiting for the optical sensor kit to arrive before i can test it...

if its any help my magic pie looks identical inside, same type of support structure.

everything sounds good cept the battery choice....when it comes to a/h you wanna go as big as possible...5 a/h are the best in terms of price to a/h ratio. (i'm not talking dont go HK Lipo, i meant the size of the batts) reason? believe me, from someone who runs an 18s3p pack, the additional...

Mike, you could always ship it to CBI or another Amerifriend company in Buffalo....its a company that you can ship stuff to and then go pick it up. i save a fortune this way....send stuff all the time and they will let you hold it there for months with no extra charges. its $5 and change per...

I guess i should update... just got an email from them stating that my package has been sent. a month later.... i will still be disputing it with paypal as the delivery date they quoted me is past the 45 day limit that PayPal has on the disputes. we'll update further when i get the motor

Oh sure, they are very prompt in responding to your emails when its time for you to pay. As soon as they have received the money....you can forget about getting any more emails in a timely manner
