Thanks, I'll let this thread die again until I need it again!

Re: Wiring

I was just wondering what size/strength springs people use to bring their flippers back, and how they are mounted? I'm running 8 bar.
Also, I have a plastic length, it is nearly 2 X 2 thick, would it be suitable for using in the base of a flipper, the part that attaches on one side to a hinge, the other side to the shovel?

Re: Wiring

people usually use bungee cord to return their flippers

Re: Wiring

Ah, never thought of that! Any thoughts on the plastic? I can get some better specs on it in a day or two if it would help!

Re: Wiring

Vantecs might be out of my price range, so I'm looking around (again!), does anyone know the ampage of 24V GOLD's? I can't find them anywhere.

Re: Wiring

24v golds aren't made anymore so it'll be hard to get a pair.

I already have the 24v golds, I'm trying to find their ampage, I don't have a meter handy.

Re: Wiring

probably no more than 30a

Re: Wiring

25amps stall, if i remeber correctly. I've used them for years with the 15amp CPU Electronize controllers, a Scorpion XLL should handle them as well.

Re: Wiring

Do you think I'd get away with the Scorpion XXL it does 20a
Just read the last post, I'm fine!

Re: Wiring

I dont understand why you want to use an XXL so much when the Victors on here will be cheaper and running much, much further away from their limits? Also, I had a faulty XXL that used to go into its safety type mode all the time and you just loose all movement and the motors twitch on and off every second or so, you probably want to avoid doing that. I also thing the old XXL's had a higher current handling if these ones only do 20A, I think mine is rated at 25A.

When I was asking around people who use the Golds I was told to look for something around the 30A mark for ESC's

Re: Wiring

I have a strict budget, ideally I'll get victorss, but I think a single Scorpion XXL would be cheaper, since I would need two Victors. Also, 2 q's:
1. Where do you get ball castors?
2.What sort of pressure do featherweights use, my tank is welded from submarine steel, and in theory should do 50,000psi, which is crazy, the main problem would be the seals popping out!
Also, I found out the checkerplate is 4mm, is it still OK?
The plastic is from the base of a windows, by the way. It should be up to the job, I couldn't snap it, nor could my father.

Re: Wiring

Dont know where you're getting Vantecs from, and they are dual channel. The Victors I linked you to are cheaper than an XXL, and thats for 2 of them so i'm still not understanding your logic.

1. Got mine on ebay

2. 1000psi is the maximum allowed, but you need all sorts of certification to run that, speaking of which, I believe there is also rules on what tanks you can and can't use but someone else will have to answer that one really.

Sorry, I meant Victors! They stated 65pounds each, so it would cost me 130 pounds. Also, I wasn't planning on running anything near 250psi, I was wondering what pressure I should use. I'll fix my post!
