    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    That is mega lazy just like mine was. I didn't mention that it almost cost me my plane the other day. Well it was a combo of things. I pulled up into a high angle of attack, then pull back all the way on the elevator and spun the plane. I gave it full throttle but the delay allowed the plane to...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I will be there Saturday for sure. I can't wait to see your setup. I am sure my current setup is going to fly great. It flew ok with terrible throttle response, but now all of that is history.

    The new SU-29 from Twisted Hobbys

    Cool plane, the "Lite Series" like the crack lazer? On 3S that plane is ridiculous. I fly mine on 2s and it is wonderful. I have been deciding which new TH plane to build. This one is defiantly a candidate.

    When you say, "Watts out", you mean Watts that I would read on my watt meter?

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I changed all that I know, fixed end point, down graded fw to 3.27, response fast, no bake, auto lipo 3.2. I didn't adjust the timing. Are you saying I can squeeze more power with ESC settings?

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    So here is my findings on the Castle Ice2 80HV (fw 3.27) Vs the Gecko 100HV (fw. stock). First off, the throttle response is now correct (incredible actually), but I took almost a 300 watt hit in power. I can still load the motor with a more aggressive prop fore more power, because I am...

    Pilot 35% Extra 260 Half Build

    I would be so nervous to fly that baby for the first time. My 30% Yak 54 has my full attention at all times when it's up. That 5% makes a huge huge difference.

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I wish I bought the 150 also. I just figured on a 75 amp draw 120 was enough.

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    Don't be sorry bro. There isn't an exact science to this stuff. Certain combos work, while others don't. Also there's personal taste involved so that makes things even more difficult for manufacturers to make everyone happy. With that said, anyone want to buy a Gecko? ;) Hey, knowing my luck...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    Ok today I tried to fly the Extra with the 19x10 and it was the same throttle response. I really like ZTW, however this 120HV is getting yanked tonight. I am could back to old faithful the "Castle" the Ice 2 80HV. Stay tuned.
