I have 5! 10c 4000mah 3s packs collecting dust and am trying to put them to use with this project. The problem with this type of low c rating pack is they are to heavy for smaller planes and do not have enough amperage for larger planes (probably why they were so cheap!) So we are going to attempt to convert a 40 size nitro stick, with a 40x42 1050 kv motor and the above pack.
Warning! This project may be a little too "thrown together" for some viewers.
One of my PO'S with electrics is trying to plug everything together in such confined spaces, so I attached the esc T lead to the buldhead, well see if the CA holds!
First dyno. 4240 1050kv motor 3S 10C 4000mah pack 11 x 5.5 prop 2 pounds 10 oz thrust @ 24.4 amps Very encouraging, there is a lot more to pull from this setup, she may fly after all!
