    Does anyone know the Watt rating of a stock Z PCB?

    I’ve got a single Lipo (3.6v) project so I’d like to ideally use an Iwaver PCB without FET stack, but I’m hoping to run a Plasma. It’s in a boat, so the instanteneous current will be much lower, hopefully low enough. Don’t really want to buy a whole ‘real’ Z just for the PCB. I could also water cool the FETs. Thoughts?

    A stock Z pcb would be around the 3W-3.5W mark. Assuming 4.8V. Under these conditions a plasma would definately blow it.

    At 3.6V you would reduce power output by 1W appox. I’m still not certain that this would be enough room for the plasma to run in, especially under load. Although as you said, given the nature of the application the load curves are totally different…

    Hey ph2t, i dont suppose you would give me the schematics and pcb layout with a list of all the neccessary components to me ?

    sorry, I missed this. The components are listed in the first post man. The schematic is being drawn, gimme a few… The pcb layout was done in Circuit Maker 2000, http://www.circuitmaker.com/downloads/demos.htm. I can email the project file to you if you want. 🙂

    cheers,

    Yo! what’s the dilly with the 5.8mm ball joints? Are they the larger ones?

    You can get the damper sets from here:

    http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=144_21_512&products_id=6170

    Each day I check the amount of parts for the Madforce in the rcmart catalogue. Today it’s 33! The parts are starting to trickle through.

    I’m waiting on some alloy front damper mounts for the OL. They are meant to be very similar to the madforce mounts BUT they don’t have the mounting tabs for the shell……..

    Get some copper de-solder braid or buy a solder sucker! You can get these at Dick smiths, Jaycar, etc,etc…..

    My only tip is that you need to be VERY careful for how long you leave the soldering iron on the PCB. too long will cause the copper tracks to raise of the surface and trust me, you don’t want that, lol…..

    stock motors have carbon brushes, yes….
    A 4×2 stack of fets can handle 25 turns easily so 30 turns won’t be a problem….

    yeah, it’s a bugger that it didn’t work out, BUT we’ll wait and see. I’m waiting on some mosfet driver chips from maxim-ic that might help out in this situation…….

    yeah, I made these brass lugs from some old piano parts (yes really!). These now connect straight to the battery connector…..

    All I need these days is a low ohm meter. The best resolution I get is 0.x ohms.

    with a 4×2 stack of IRF73893 mosfets I was getting 30kph, this was accuratly tracked by betty.k riding alongside with his bike and reading its speedo, lol………

    Dunno, what it’s pulling now. I’ve gotta do a low turn motor now that the ESC can handle it. I was thinking 12 – 15 turns with neo magnets I got from draconius and .4-.5mm wire. these magnets are insane!
