HeliRush RC Helicopter Forum

i need custom motors and electronics that work at very high voltages 400+. Custom low watt electronics for this heli http://www.angelfire.com/blues/heli_project/index.html ...and low power to which extent ?? and are these electronics avaiable in market ? ...

Are you looking for a 400 volt motor? Or a 400 watt motor?

I don't think there's any such things as a 400 volt motor for an RC heli - most top out at 60v and even that's just for high end larger machines, not the smaller sized on you linked to.

ok low watt electronics , can i find ?

Sure, there's lots available at or around 400 watts: http://www.rctoys.com/rc-products-catal ... AX/p2.html

two questions please ....
1- i asked u for electronics and i mean motors because they draw the most of the current from the supply,
for example, looking at 22-28v supply with 10A max draw, the motor will probably draw about 6-7A, i need a motor that draw 3 or 4 amps max to decrease the whole power consumption/required


2- what is the difference between the transmitter of a fixed pitch helicopter and the transmitter of a collective pitch helicopter?

sorry for wasting ur time

1. If you go with a 22v or 6 cell LiPo battery as your power source, a 400 watt motor would draw about 18amp which is pretty low for most heli's. What are you using a battery for a power source?

2. There shouldn't be any difference between the radios if you're using any modern programmable radio – you can usually program it for either. The radios that come with fixed pitch heli's have different internal programming than the ones that come with collective pitched heli's.

these are the two batteries am choosing from :

FlightPower EONLITE LiPo 3S 11.1V 820mAh 20C (72.4g) = 16.4*11.1=182 W

OR

TP910-3SJPL 11.1V 3-Cell (65g) very light = 15.56*11.1=161.6 W

Q1/ can u tell me how to decrease the draw of the motors (exact current vaules) for these exact two batteries (one with 16.4A and the other with 15.56) ??

Q2/ can i put solar cells on the blades and flywheel paddles? is this gonna work ?? or the solar cells must be on a stable thing ?

Dude, you can't use solar cells on an RC helicopter – there's no way they can continuously output enough power to keep it in the air – and you can't put anything on the blades or paddles.

If you want to go solar, maybe try a foamie glider or something.
