Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / September 2007Motor question
I have a Great Planes Electrifly T-600 brushed motor I want to use on an airboat. The motor is rated for 7.2 to 9.6 volts. Do I dare run it off a 3 cell LIPO (11.1 volts). Is there enough tolerance to get by with doing this? If there is a risk, but it is not a sure burn-out, at $13.00 it might be worth a try. > I have a Great Planes Electrifly T-600 brushed motor I want > to use on an airboat.

The recommended prop is a 9x6. >> I have a Great Planes Electrifly T-600 brushed motor I >> want to use on an airboat.

It's less a matter of voltage than it is the total power (and, hence, heat being generated). Are you sure the battery pack is up to the potential drain, though? You may need to vent air around the pack to keep it cool. -Wm |
