600 Pimp my Chaos 600E Pro

[Lee]

Well its too late now anyway. Its on its way. Having spoken with a friend who has the exact same heli, and has had it set up as 6S, 8S, 10S and 12S, he recommended me the 8S as the best all round performance/flight time. I'm no Smack 3D pilot yet, so 8S will be fine. And when i do get better, its a 12S 700 monster for me

 

[Tony]

Sounds good to me bro.

 

[zenmetsu]

Awesome job mate. I was eyeballing that same receiver and contemplating going FBL on the 250.

Out of curiosity, going FBL, did you notice a decrease in flight time? I've heard conflicting reports, but the fact that the servos are taking a lot more input from the gyro leads me to believe that FBL could burn more battery than relying upon a passive mechanical gyro.

 

[Tony]

FBL should increase the flight time. Less rotating mass and less "arms" in the air means less resistance.

 

[Lee]

+1 on what Tony said. Less drag more flight time

 

[zenmetsu]

Sweet, I might try this then.

Do you need a 7-channel transmitter for that receiver? Would be bummed if I had to give up my DX6i, lol.

 

[heli-maniac]

no it can be done with a 3gx and a 6ch rx or a 3g sys.

I have the Tarot ZYX unit and head for my 500. They make one for the 250 as well.

My motor and ESC have arrived. Just awaiting the pinion and castle link cable.
Wow its a beast. Can't wait to get it installed.
Bonus No customs/postage tax.

THAT LOOKS HOT!!! Man! that 600 is gonna SCREAM!

 

[stokke]

Sweet!

What's the difference in specs VS the original motor?

 

[Lee]

Original setup is 100A Phoenixtech ESC and 6S 1000KV motor. It will be up for sale as soon as i take it out if anybody wants it. For a first time 600 size hell, it was a fantastic choice and ran cool no matter what i did.

 

[Tony]

Looking good bro. Can't wait to see it in the air.

 

[murankar]

You'll love that motor. Just make sure to temp it until you know what the normal is. Mine runs hotter than my cheap motor.

Well the new motor and ESC are amazing but....... it didn't go quite to plan Check the video and tell me what you think happened.

 

[heli-maniac]

that sucks Lee hope you find the problem

 

[zenmetsu]

Yeah that sucks. Good save though.

There was a definite change in sound while you were inverted, and it looked like the heli was slow to respond to your forward cyclic input. That coupled with the clicking, seems like something related to the swash.

You going to have a post-mortem follow-up video on this?

 

[stokke]

As far my experience goes, I know when doing tic tocs both servos and motor draw some serious power. My guess is your ESC fail-safe kicked in...?

 

[zenmetsu]

That would make more sense.
