Upgrade 600e to 8 cells

[Tean]

I like the look of the V2s. Beefed up bearings, 8mm internal shaft and the can is now retained by a circlip. Should last for ages.

Thomas,
Thanks for the picture, it really helps, just one last question - you mention the frame support - in your picture, I was not sure what you meant here, but to be clear make the cuts, I do not have to add anything more, just pop in the motor!

thanks Thomas

all the best

Simon

When you cut a section out of the frame you are making it weaker, the Rotorworkz frames I had also had that bit cut out and came with the frame supports, however I did fly mine without them for a bit.

To see the bit I am talking about, look closely at the 4 bolts holding the motor mount and lower bearing block, you can just make out an extra bit of carbon fibre.

Here is a pic from Rotorworks that shows his frame and the support.

Yep I can see it! Thanks Thomas -

Thanks to Simon I'm on with the conversion at the moment.

Started the conversion, pics can be seen here !

Might get to test fly on Sunday weather and setup permitting !

Thanks for all you advice and picutres they all really helped. Here is what I ended up with;
4 x evolite 3200 4 cell and 2 5350's 4 cell - (don't ask the cost) 3 sets of 8 cells
Hacker - X80-SB-Pro brushless ESC
Scorpion HK-4025-740KV
Pinion

Plenty of power now - slight modification to the frame but no added brace as the RJX frames are strong enough.

Highly recommend Simon at TrexMad who sorted this out for me and even came to my work and picked it up and delivered it back! What brill service. (sorry boys very busy to do the work myself!)

Interested in your pitch and throttle curves as I am tweaking my set up now.

Have a good Christmas!

all the best

Simon
