Oh god what have I done...

Hmmm the CY site recommends the 4035-560 so I guess I'll be down on headspeed a bit. It's only a 260rpm difference though, just with the 500kv motor the top HS is 2220. Although to be fair I probably don't need higher I'm guessing.

Oh and do the kits come with Tail blades or do I need those too?

With a 13 tooth pinion it should do 2100 governed easily and I would think it would be quite punchy at that speed. You may find you don't need it that high. Then you could always get a 14 tooth pinion if you want more headspeed.

If it helps I've got an Align MX750-530Kv motor still in its box with 5.5mm insulated bullet connectors fitted, So all ready to install.
This is my spare motor and has only been run up once since I bought it when I did some maintenance on my own Ballistic.
I've also got a 12 and a 14 tooth pinion but they are straight cut and I'm pretty sure that the Ballistic kit comes standard with a helical cut main gear.

Give me an email at: garry.bagridge@btinternet.co.uk if your interested.

I'd also recommend KBDD plastic tail blades on the Ballistic. I used them on my Ballistic 700 all last year and they're great.

Cheers

Email bounced mate. How much would you be after?

[Bavers777]

His email address is probably @btinternet.com try that.

[PeteStewardson]

It's here!

Seems to be all there I think, there's only about 4 bags of parts but lots of sub bags inside those.

Looks like fastlads are out of the metal bearing blocks though.

Hopefully it's all there.

I'll have a look for the metal bearing block as I'd like to get one as well.

--- seems they are out of stock in most shops. I just ordered one from rcbits in Australia but I'm not sure what to think about the postage cost as it showed zero on the order and the 'estimate shipping' function didn't work, so if they come back and give me a silly high postage cost I'll just cancel it.

Hi Pete, glad you received it all intact. Sorry about the address debacle, but got there in the end. I'll be getting some extra lipo's for my 700 pro nows thanks to your purchase. All the best and enjoy the build 8). Mike

[PeteStewardson]

Hi Mike, was going to send a message on ebay later to say it arrived on time. Guess I don't need to now

Don't really want to start the build until I decide between building it as a 635 or 700 The bits to build it as a 700 are only about £40 then about £20 extra on blades.

[Soaringlegend]

I was going to stretch it myself Pete had I been keeping it and at least the costs aren't prohibitive if you decided to. Have fun

[Bluegarry1]

Hi Pete
Did you get my email about the Align Motor ?
Please let me know if you're interested.

Cheers

[PeteStewardson]

Hi Gary, I did sorry been meaning to reply. Tempted but still considering the various options for motors

[Bluegarry1]

That's OK Pete, but I'd be grateful for a message with your decision either way as soon as you can.

Thanks

Garry

What ESC is recommended for the Ballistic? I know CYE say a CC120HV ( should have kept the electrics form the 700e )
