Pinions and Motors

[Chuck Bole]

 I'm almost patiently waiting on a E7 and geting all my goodies lined up for it.
Planning on running 14S. With a 116T main gear, exactly what tooth count pinions
will be available?

thanks

14 and 15 come with the kit, 12 and 13 are available as extras.

Are those available for pre order now?

[Matt Botos]

I need to get the parts into the ordering system. Still negotiating a few prices with the CNC shop.

14S?
Who make's that ESC?
That will be balls to the wall

[Chuck Bole]

  I run a Kontronics Powerjazz. it's out of production, i think for the last 2 years or so. It's rated to 15S 100A constant and 200A peak. There are several companies producing a 14S ESC. Jeti/Hacker, YGE, Schulze. I heard rumors a while back Castle was working on something but haven't heard anything in a long time.

 We ran 14S on my E9 "Synergizer" two years ago. Had Matt check it out at IRCHA '10.  Planning on setting up my  E7 with a Turnado A50-14L (400Kv) with a 13T pinion on 14S TP 4400 65C.
According to the head speed calculator it should come out close to this.

Throttle 65%: 2021
Throttle 70%: 2082
Throttle 75%: 2144
Throttle 80%: 2205

Shooting for 2100 RPM.
 We'll see what it'll do.

Will the Rave ENV Helical pinion work on the E7?

[Matt Botos]

I do not think so for a couple reasons.

1. I selected a very specific angle on the helical gear to reduce vertical lift as well as operate silently
2. The E7 pinion has a stop collar designed in to eliminate any additional vertical gear movement.

Thanks,

Matt

Any updates on pinion availability?  I need a 12T pinion!

[BennyTRD]

Patiently waiting for a 13T here as well. While the 14T seems to run okay with the X-Era 4530-500, it's still out of the powerband a little. Hopefully not too much longer as my flying season is closing fast!!
