Do the fixed timing motors come set to the sweet spot or are they slower than the adjuatable timing? You don't happen to know the amps it draws do you? I've always gone for adjustable timing as my first was and I've seen the difference the timing makes. However it is pretty much set and forget, so maybe fixed timing is the way to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

53HRA 555 Posted January 28, 2019 Does having an RC dream count? The dream involved standing in the kitchen trying to repair an MSC which I was fitting into a Tamiya mini chassis, but then my alarm went off for work! Strange how the brain works, I was infact in the kitchen yesterday fitting a screen protector to my phone, and I saw 1:1 Mini on the TV before I got into bed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fixed timing is because of some racing categories restrictions. Brushless was all new to me when I got this and I like the simplistic idiot proof fitting of Hobbywing stuff. I did get a program box as well so I can adjust Hobbywing ESC’s boost/braking etc which I figured is similar to timing. A look at the manual says, 17.5 = 2200kv, No load current 1.5A, Max output 150W, C at the point of M.O.P 43A 13.5 = 2800kv, No load current 1.9A Max output 205W, C at the point of M.O.P 60A. No idea what that means but hope it makes sense to you 👍🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea what that means but hope it makes sense to you 👍🏻 The adjustable timing is just loosening some screws on the endbell and rotating it, it moves the sensors around, or something. I set mine to 5.5 - 6amps no load which is a lot more and gives a lot more performance. I have a tuned Trinity Monster Max 21.5T with 3050kv Its interesting if you can access a motor analyser. Small changes to timing can give big gains to kv or amps and above about 6 amps the current draw goes up but the kv doesn't so you just get more heat. The ESC timing amounts to the same thing and of course is better as its dynamic, but I run all my race cars in blinky classes (blinky means no ESC timing, the ESC has a light that blinks which tells the race organisers you aren't cheating at a glance, you probably knew that though) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
78Triumph 2610 Posted January 28, 2019 Took my MF-01x Beetle out for it's maiden run. Sport Tuned motor and RWD only is super fun! This is my first RWD on-road car so drifting and donuts is new to me in that regard. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scipunk 383 Posted January 28, 2019 Started on the lens painting, orange went on nice, red is a pain as usual, Using the paint retarder helps, but im gonna need a few coats more to really get good coverage. :) 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted January 28, 2019 Did fly my new arrived micro copter Eachine E013, so much fun, 5-6packs so far, I am getting the hang of it. almost can fly a circle. But missing still a lot of confidence in maneuvering. since I bought this model without FPV googles, I organized a trade, my old DSLR for a FPV monitor, VRX & VTX + 2x cloverleaf antennas. This FPV sistem is ideal for my 99$ drone build, making plenty of room for other components, even thought I only need a ALL in 1 esc and I can start the build... and this FPV monitor should work with the eachine micro copter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J@mes 2326 Posted January 28, 2019 I put a receiver & an ESC (Mtroniks Sport 20) in my Bush Devil (with new 540 motor) & it did a few laps of the living room. Already I can tell I prefer the TBLE02S & TBLM01 16T i have on my Blackfoot 2016. It’s so much smoother & quieter, should be for the price difference, I might have to go shopping... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4272 Posted January 29, 2019 I did some experimenting with a new piece of software today to see if I can use it to make custom driver heads in the future. I'm encouraged by the results and plan to do another test soon! The name of the software is Meshroom; what it does is generate a 3D model from a sequence of photographs you take of a physical object. As a simple first test I took a cardinal figurine from my wife's curio and shot 33 photos at different angles and elevations outside. After dropping the photos into the software, I kept the default settings and clicked "Start." 75 minutes later I had a full 3D mesh with texture mapped onto it; this was running on a Core i7 with NVIDIA GPU / CUDA. In the image of Meshroom below, the left pane has my 33 photos in it. The center pane has the current image shown. The right pane has the generated 3D mesh and texture map; the program actually generated a mesh including the cardinal and the picnic table. The bottom pane shows the process the program takes to make the model from the photos. In general it looks for key features from each photo, matches those features, generates points in space, makes a mesh, filters it, and covers that mesh with a color texture derived from the original photos. With all the processing complete I loaded the resulting file into FreeCAD; it includes a workbench for trimming meshes. In this case I removed the picnic table data around the base of the figurine. Then I exported a .STL file from FreeCAD and loaded it into Slic3r to prep a gcode printer file... And finally printed a smaller copy of the figurine! I shot it with a quick blast of automotive filler primer because glossy black filament hides surface features. Close up: So, this first try worked very well and I immediately asked my son if I could photograph his head to make a custom driver figure of him. I might put him in a drift car or a F1 car down the road. I might also see if I can convince my wife and daughter to be photographed as well; then I'll do a drift minivan with all four of us in it! Imagine our heads attached to jumpsuit torsos using pen springs, our heads bobbing around as the drift van skids around cones! 8 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4607 Posted January 29, 2019 @speedy_w_beans thats amazing. Probably really easy for you, but I'm impressed. Today I took the first balsa boat to a friends house. He lives on a 10acre block and it has spring fed ponds on it. Yesterday when i was testing it in a paddling pool I couldn't get the ESC calibrated ($20 Banggood job) and it kept doing weird things, mostly taking off across the paddling pool. The ponds have grass and mud around them so I figured "whats the worst that could happen, it'll just fly into a nice soft edge". Today the ESC decided to just stop working intermittently while the boat was in the middle of the pond. Thats the worst that could happen. On the plus side the bits I made worked well, and I even got lucky with electronics placement as its really stable and gets on a plane quickly and flies when it is working. Now looking at a pile of leftover balsa and thinking how much better it would be if I fibreglassed it... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted January 30, 2019 Went parking garage bashing with my friend and his F103. amazingly stable and a good drifter my Xray, just a small insight we also did fly our mini quads in the garage, no video unfortunately, but nice. Fpv gear in mail next week. Did also order a VRX with iphone support. For the eachine e013 also 5 new 1s 260mAh batteries will be orderd soon that would be approx 28min of flight time. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
