Low headspeed question.
« on: July 01, 2015, 11:49:59 AM »
I am looking at dropping the headspeed on my E5.  Currently I am running 556mm mains, cc 120hv, scorpion 3536-510kv motor.  I still have the speed up tail gears in it from when it was stretched to the E5s.

Is there anything I should be looking at to drop the hs down to 1400 or so?  It was suggested to drop one flight pack from my 12s setup and fly it with a 6s pack on helifreak.

Yes.  Dropping the 12S down to 6S or 7S may keep the ESC cooler and the motor running more efficiently when compared to keeping the 12S setup and dropping throttle below 85% or so.

I watched that video before.  From his description i would need to use the longer mains and stretch the tail.    Time form some pricing from my favorite dealer.
