Brand new power system in the jets!

[@gilsonfarani]

Hello Minimum RC congratulations on this👏👏👏👏 you are great ❤❤❤ I bought a Bae Hawk Red Arrows 30mm EDF, from you but it hasn't been built yet...tell me, what's new in the new EDF system?

[@minimumrc7986]

Thanks! It includes a 7.4v 8620 brushed motor (the same size as the 3.7v version), a 12A brushed ESC, and a 7.4v 180mAh Lipo battery.

[@FlyingBuzzard]

Awesome as always guys , but still looking for some WW 1 models from you guys

[@minimumrc7986]

Thanks! We will include the WW1 model in our future products.

Awesome I have the 3.7v version how can i upgrade it the motor is sealed up inside the fuselage also do I need a new esc

[@minimumrc7986]

The 3.7v version can be modified to 7.4v, just remove the original motor carefully and install a new one (you can untie the stickers on the bottom of the aircraft and open holes on the white foam board, which can be restored without damage). In addition, the 7.4v motor requires an external 7.4v ESC.

[@minimumrc7986]

@@andybladen9284 Thanks! The new ESC can be connected to the original receiver. Just need to remove the P1 solder point on the back of the receiver.

any plans for brushless?

[@minimumrc7986]

Currently, we have no plans to use brushless motors. The coreless motor has two benefits. Firstly, this type of motor and the ESC it uses are significantly affordable compared to brushless motors, and the coreless motor has almost the same power density (the power that can be provided per unit weight) as brushless motors of the same specification. In other words, its performance is almost the same as that of brushless motors.

@@minimumrc7986 what is the average lifespan of a coreless compared to brushless? long term users might find it more expensive

[@fyresg]

@@minimumrc7986 Agree on the great power-to-weight of brushed coreless motors as compared to similar brushless setups. But brushed motors suffer from performance degradation as it wears out due to repeated flights; brushless motor don't. When that happens, we cannot easily replace the worn out brushed motors because the plane is glued together. That means we have to spend time and money to build an entire plane just to replace the worn out brushed motor!
有刷电机的寿命有限，飞行多次后会失去暴力，需更换。但是机身不支持更换电机，如果需换电机恢复性能，只好买台新的，花钱费时地重新装置一台新的飞机。

what motor is it? coreless or a brushless edf?

[@minimumrc7986]

It's a coreless motor.

[@rome8153]

Love the sound of the edf.....😊

@@minimumrc7986 oh.

[@Colin_Holloway]

Does this use or need the gyro version of the receiver?

[@minimumrc7986]

This aircraft is already very stable and does not require a GYRO receiver
