JRH will you be getting any 500s back in stock?

JohnRobHolmes · 01-25-2011, 10:00 AM

Nope, no more cans to be had. I am working on a suitable brushed replacement for them, as well as a brushless version.

JRH, with those 16t, slotted or not slotted, do you have one available?

Mini · 01-31-2011, 10:40 AM

Any update when you will be able the slot the coms?

JohnRobHolmes · 01-31-2011, 10:41 AM

I sent a batch of arms off to a more professional machinist for slotting, since I haven't been able to get clean cuts on my machine. I have plenty of 16t wound up here though, they are on the site now.

1beatjeep, if you want a substitution or refund at any time for the order just let me know. I certainly didn't expect to have the slotting cost so much time on my behalf, or else I wouldn't have offered them until I had a big batch already done.

Thanks

Just out of curiousity, how many amps would a 16T slotted 454 pull on 3 cells?? I am thinking of pairing these with a pair of Mamba Micro Max ESCs.

Aussie Nerd · 02-02-2011, 04:38 PM

I asked John this in the tech thread question, and I was told that either the mamba micro or micro sidewinder should be fine with the 16ts. However I wasn't told an amp draw as such.

Thanks

There is all the posts, however JRH might have more to add for you

Yep....I found most of those posts before posting here. I just was looking for some sort of confirmation that the 454 16TS will work with Mamba Micro Pros. I have no complaints about my current motors, but am looking to shave more weight from my Bully V1 Rig.

Aussie Nerd · 02-02-2011, 04:47 PM

Actually I don't know if that's on 3s or 2s? JRH could you please clarify that?

Thanks

Kieren

JohnRobHolmes · 02-02-2011, 05:03 PM

3s.

Thanks

PANIC · 02-08-2011, 11:51 PM

Yeah I wonder too- ordered a 454 slotted fm the website.

Thanks

JohnRobHolmes · 02-09-2011, 08:01 AM

Just sent a email to the machinist that I sent em off to. He got caught up in the snow storm like I did and it put him a bit behind too.

Ty · 02-09-2011, 03:49 PM

Hey john, I just got my 16 turn motors and wanted to know if they come timed at zero. I am guessing that the cans are from some 11 turns right? Thanks TY.
