Mini P pinion problem

[BillG]

Yeah, one of the reasons I'm really slow on the Goblin 380 is that it is more like a "500" than a "450". $1200 for a 450? That's insane, I have 600's that can be had for that much.

I have a decent "450" fleet and really enjoy that size bird, for it's low costs and fun to fly factor (and the mini Protos is on top of that list!). I have Goblin 630 already, a 500-size doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah I can't believe the esc's some guys are planning for their 380s, like edge 100, Talon 90, yge 90. I mean the Protos 500 uses yge 60a and 95% of people don't have problems with them overheating.

It'll be interesting to see some all up weights of the 380. I'd be willing to bet you could put 380 blades on a stock (short boom) Protos 500 with a 2200mah 6s and be the same weight as what some of these 380s will weigh.

I have a feeling you're right

The gobbler is build for the insane headspeeds fad.......not interested.

must say the streamlined look is growing on me. Kind of like the looks now.

You can easily stretch the chase 360 or the x3 to swing 380s as well. A stretched 360 or an x3 will be much lighter, and can probably run the same head speeds and have similar power. I am confused as to what need the goblin is supposed to fulfill. I guess it is brutally powerful, but its just sooo heavy...It sounds like the goblin 630 story all over again.

Sounds like something I would love to do to my Mini P. I could make boom supports, tail control rod, maybe the boom but I wouldn't know where to look for a belt.
