eco8 bargain or not

[Smoothound]

I agree with Smoothound on the parts prices they are a little silly priced so be prepared for expensive crashes.

Hooray

Good stuff, now i have more of a clue what to slap on my eco after christmas when i intend to up its spec. A realy useful post with some good solid and sensiable advice. And I disagree with smoothhound just to upset him........

[Smoothound]

You can disagree no worries...but you're wrong


Problem with the 8 really is for it to fly nicely you need to keep it light and doing that makes it so fragile and then you are frequently introduced to Norman Nobrotts overly zealous pricing structures

Sorry to drag this one up again, just a quickie regarding the century motor, what size pinion is it running. Oh and just an opinion on a couple of other's would be nice, the new JP enerG inrunner (Think its a A36-30) or and Axi 2820/8(or flight power as they are the same), or there is a JP enerG outrunner as well (think its a C35-14).

Let mine go now but when I ordered it I had several pinions for the Century Motor if I can remember rightly they ranged from 18t to 22 t I still have the extra pinions that I didnt use. If you have the Century Sport Duration motor I will send you one, I know I had the smallest pinion maybe the 18t cant remember but you can have the other one up I think a 20 perhaps? will check if you want me to send it put a fiver in an env and will fire it off to you!

Think the model shop are gonna chuck one in as i am buying motor+controller at the same time but thanks for the offer. Just curious realy as i have been looking into kv's and volts and ratio's and head speeds etc. Think I will be going for a Tornado 36/15 inrunner at 1600kv, on 3 cell lipo with an (clicking of cog's and stuff in head) 18 tooth pinion.
