| i have a pair of swift 16's , one witha stk century 600 and one with a 1907 1.5y on 8s.
One thing i can tell you is that neu motors do not like century esc's
I set my neu up with a cc hv85 first, worked awesome every thing was cool., then i ended up stelling that esc for a 12s swift 620 and installed the century hv 85 esc and the motor whent from 110* f to 180*f after only one flight, plus i lost 200 headspeed.i've been told it's a timeing thing, and you can't change the timeng on a century esc. I've since put a cc hv 45 in it and motor temps back to 100*f.
As far as metel head on a 16. not needed. i spin mine at 2500 with 550 carbon blades, no problem's and i don't baby it.
On 8s i run fp 3200 4 min hard flying or 5.5 easy flying. so a 4000 mah 6s should work good.
by the way that motor on 8s is awesome.one of my fastest heli's. |
