robert23mg: 98 grams
budster: not bad
robert23mg: but the arms are not replaceable
budster: you want to find one with alot replacement parts
budster: yea that kinda sucks
robert23mg: yea, i think the zmr is better
robert23mg: cuz you can replace the arms
budster: yea
budster: but it has a pdb board that is the frame
budster: i had to buy a whole new pdb on mine because i messed it up
budster: it was kinda expensive
budster: guess its preference
budster: but if you crash real bad the pdb breaks
robert23mg: yea, anyway in a real bad crash i think you need to be happy is some parts survives
budster: true
robert23mg: yo
robert23mg: anybody around?
budster: yo
robert23mg: i was wondering
budster: yea
robert23mg: on a quad, you need 2 motors to spin clockwise
budster: yea
robert23mg: and other 2 clockwise
budster: yup
robert23mg: i see that some motors have this flavour so you can pick 2 cw and 2 ccw
robert23mg: but other dont say
robert23mg: so i guess they all spin in the right direction
robert23mg: in the same*
budster: they can spin either way depnding on hpw you hook them up
robert23mg: or you could switch the wires and will spin
robert23mg: ooo
budster: but you need the prop to self tighten
budster: thats why some are cw and some ccw
robert23mg: so it doesn't matter, cuz you can swap the wires and fix this right? so if you take all 4 motors the same type would be ok somehow
budster: no not really
robert23mg: hmm
budster: i think you need two of each
robert23mg: so better to take cw and ccw
robert23mg: cuz of props
budster: yea
budster: dont want it to spin off
robert23mg: hmm
budster: maybe some motors arent self tigntning?
budster: not sure
budster: might want to buy a kit to start with
budster: then the motors and esc are good togeather
budster: psyco knows more
budster: ive never built one
robert23mg: yea, i was just browsing through parts
budster: ok
budster: what website?
robert23mg: www.banggood.com
robert23mg: but i dont really like the props i find here
budster: oh yea
psyco_llama: what are you looking for?
robert23mg: wanted to draw some prices and was stuck a little on motors
psyco_llama: what are you stuck on..
psyco_llama: like which ones to get?
robert23mg: i saw that some motors had the option to pick ccw or cw
robert23mg: and other came in the same flavour
psyco_llama: you need 2 of each
robert23mg: and i was wondering if what is this all about
psyco_llama: the ones that you can choose either or means they are self tightening... meaning you wont have your propellers spin loose due to vibrations, crashes, etc
psyco_llama: they are the way to go
robert23mg: roger
robert23mg: and for props the best are from carbon fiber right?
psyco_llama: depends on who you ask
psyco_llama: if you ask me, DAL props are the best
budster: carbon can break your motor
psyco_llama: yep
budster: i just ordered some glass fiber
budster: the abs are breaking so easy
budster: guess its better to break a prop then a motor
robert23mg: for sure
budster: what 250 kit have you been buying psyco?
robert23mg: like this? http://www.banggood.com/2-Pairs-DAL-5045-5x4_5-Inch-PC-Fiberglass-Multicolor-Propeller-CWCCW-For-QAV250-Series-Frame-p-999328.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=nydia&utm_campaign=Smlrfpv-ds-propeller&gclid=CP3K_q-vtMsCFRKNGwodZ1UG2w

budster: ho w long till that happens?
psyco_llama: there is no
psyco_llama: there is no 'standard' time frame per say. it could be a couple weeks, a couple months, etc. just depends on how much abuse that pack has seen.
psyco_llama: if you got one of the nicer chargers like the one I have, I have a lipo storage option, where it will discharge or charge to the 50% mark which you will want for long term storage.
robert23mg: have a link for that charger?
psyco_llama: its the turnigy accucel 6
robert23mg: ty
psyco_llama: np. its a great lipo charger.
budster: ok thx
budster: so a couple of days isnt bad?
psyco_llama: na
psyco_llama: just no longer than a week
psyco_llama: and you should be fine
psyco_llama: same goes for a used battery with a low charge. you dont want to keep it low for a long period of time either
budster: ok
budster: how did your syma flyaway?
psyco_llama: first time in rate mode and too much confidence. lol. its in the tree in my front yard somewhere.
