I don't know for sure, but it was in such a fast spin that I couldn't tell if I had any controle at all. I honestly don't know. Such is life. Let's get back on topic.

No more

Crash Talking!! I just recieved my Torque 820 and and Airboss 45 amp esc,and was wondering two things,

One, Where did you guys mount the esc?
B, What did you discover the best CG posistion for precision as well as 3D ?

I'm not sure how much room for the CG we have to play with...

Thanks,
Frank

I mounted my ESC on the side of the motor box. I origonaly had the 900, and I used both spacers. IDK what the 820 will require. I should find out tonight! :-)

exeter_acres · 10-05-2009, 07:29 PM

I mounted my ESC to the bottom of the motor box.. a couple ESC's and be done....

CG is personal feel...
all said and done, I fly with my batteries right against the wing tube.

What do you mean a 'Couple' ESCs? You trying to sell more than people need? lol

exeter_acres · 10-05-2009, 08:49 PM

LOL!!!

Whoops!!

Brain was ahead of the fingers....

I meant a couple of zip ties... wow!!

danielph · 10-05-2009, 08:50 PM

Now that makes sence. That's what I did, and it works great.

I kinda figured he met something else I just ignored him!!

Should the aluminum part of the Esc be facing the box or outside of the box? I figure outside to get the max cooling. And does it need foam under it or anything to protect it ?

Later..

With your battery right against the wing tube, how many inches back from the LE does it balance?
(How many batteries are you flying with?)
