$50 IRCH Gaui 425 first flight

[Bodyshop]

Got the CNC bell cranks ordered yesterday to fix up the linkage. Thanks again for the tips. I changed to a 13t pinion and upped the TC to 100-92.5-85-92.5-100. The motor still seems pretty hot, but it is an improvement. I'll have to pick up a thermometer.

I'm loving the autorotation feature of the Castle ICE light ESC!

Cool. Thanks for the info.

I just flew 3 flight packs and took some temps of the packs and motor. I was wondering if the temps. seemed reasonable. 1st pack; 2500mAh Tru RC 6s : pack temp = 131 and motor temp = 142. 2n pack; 2600 mAh Thunder Power Extreme V2 6s: pack temp = 151 and motor temp = 143. 3rd pack 2 x 3s Tunder Power Extreme V2: pack temp = 141/153 and motor temp = 141.

I figured not to break the trend, and post an unpainted 425 on a red car....
Will be flying next week...
