Hello everyone, I could use some help with an ultra micro that I'm currently building.
I have a 21.5" EPO foam warbird, that I have all the details worked out, with the exception of the receiver and esc.
Like all ultra micro models, very lite weight to power ratio is key. So in order to keep the weight down, I'm using all eflite UMX electronics. Due to the scale size and weight of the model, the propeller is a 6 x 4 on a TomCat 1806-3100kv brushless motor. ( I cannot use a eflite BL180 series motor (2500-3600kv) since those series motors are rated for smaller and less aggressive props)
I would like to use an eflite EFLA6420BL DSMX 6 channel ultra micro receiver, with an integrated ESC and both tail section servo's. The issue is the current draw of the brushless motor, which is 6.4amps max. (full rpm with full battery charge) is too high for the receiver. ( I think )
I cannot verify the max current cut-off setting of this particular eflite receiver/esc, but from what I have found most other eflite ultra micro receivers are set at 5.0-5.2 over current protection cutoff.
I have also looked for a different brands or style receiver and esc set up, but due to either incompatible design, excessive weight and/or size, I have not found anything that will work.
Any working suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Here are some more specs on my model;
Model: 21.5" wingspan UMX P40 warbird.
Material: EPO foam.
Battery: Turnigy Nano-Tech 300mah 2s 45c lipo.
Motor: TomCat 1806-3100kv brushless motor.
Aileron servo's: eflite A2030 Linear servo
Total flying weight: 155-165 grams.
