My Posts This: Topic Forum | Hi guys,New member to the forum so i would like to say hi and a special Hi to those who are adicts of these wonderful creations, been following e conversions and i have one as well,CH-47 electric mix, have to agree that there is nothing like them, having worked on them in AF and Iroquis, became an adict for the 2, anyway just want to know if anyone has done or is considering changing the drive to belt over gear, had my share of woes with teeth and geaaring and am going to try belt, besides being Quieter, and with the current supply of new engines and esc's, though this is an easier way to go, cogs can be machined up easily enough by most machine shops, i am luck enough to have a small but good shop at home, am currently using a Turnigy motor with good sucess but lacking in torque, had considered a flywheel, currently set up with 2 5s1p packs in parallel, but i came across a guy in Canada that runs 4x packs in 2p2s, castle HV controller and missed the motor, but he was running belt and the heli was very quiet with buckets of power and 15min+ flight times, lost the page and link due to a hdd failure, has anyone come across this heli, had the ability to lift a builders shovel in one olf the chips which is why i am so interested in the belt conversion, thanks for any input and good luck to you all, Alex |
