how about more batteries ? (if you have room).

I dont know how plan-B is these days, but it sounded like the Disc could do with a few more amps to wind it up to speed quicker from the audio I've heard of the fights its in.. a few more parallel packs might help you reach "dangerous" status quicker..

hang on, what am I doing.. advising the opponents on how to be more dangerous ?!? Umm, Lead, I meant, yeah thats it.. a big chunk of lead is what you need.. put more strain on your motors, and flatten those batteries quicker.. cycling is good for them you know.. Razz

yeah a few more batteries would probably be the better option, after all the americans say its better to use more batteries than more weight in the disc..

but btw at m9 plan b had a pretty fast spin up time with a bigger motor, lighter disc and on 21.6v i think it was..

yeahaw cowboyz
more 2.4Ghz lurve
this time its at the hevy petting stage

successfull radio gidgets flying through the airwaves.
well least it looks that way
at the moment there is some heavy bodgyness in that the tx and rx radios are sharing a data clock but the fact that after half a second or so it falls back to recieving static is a positive sign ( the data sheet says that should happen after 4ms so hey i gots me some good chips eh? w00t lol)

Brushless winding to me. But knowing Mr Anderson, it's probably got a little twist to it. Maybe it's a Brushless Series/Shunt wound motor Razz
