| Well, I finally installed the Z20, and am I impressed. I took the 550 out this morning, and did a little hovering and ff around the lawn. The snow was coming down, but the wind was nothing to speak of. I flew for about 5 1/2 minutes, and brought it back in. I wanted to see if this motor was as cool running as people were saying. When I felt of the motor it was as cool as when I began. I would not have believed that it had been running for over 5 mins. My esc was also cool, and my lipo packs were just getting warm. On the stock motor at 5 mins. you could not hold your finger on it. It was that hot, also the lipo packs were fairly warm. Not hot, but pretty warm. So my advise to anyone that has been thinking about changing over I would say go for it. I know I didn't do my lipo's any good by waiting, but this motor should go alot easier on them and everything else from now on. The Z20 is what they say it is."It's as cool as a cucumber". Thanks guys! |
