    Power distribution boards, ratings question

    This is how I did it for my skyjib 8 ... I dont like using connectors and boards... just a AWG10 wire is the safest way! You can easily connect 2 lipos at each end of the cable and you have minimum soldering!

    SkyJib/AeroDrive 8 Crash Video

    I think this is a very good sum-up of the situation! Just like to add that HW Platinum esc from china have very good performance in my opinion and not too expensive comparing with castles. so if you are on a budget it would be a good choice!

    Did Droidworx banned Plettenberg?

    well I can remember that when I called plettenberg 6 or 7 months ago they told me that using 14 and 15 inch props with 5s lipos is advisable!

    Did Droidworx banned Plettenberg?

Also when the motor use only 10-15 A you have peaks over 40A, and you shut down the BL controller. This is the info one of our customers sent us... So you...

    SkyJib/AeroDrive 8 Crash Video

    The v2 is a high voltage model, it's for 6 to 15S lipos! There is no advantage to use them with 5 cell lipo. You're just adding extra weight!

    SkyJib/AeroDrive 8 Crash Video

    Hi Redridinghood, The point of having Plettenberg is not just power! It's having almost no vibration in your image and more than 1,2 kg less weight to carry on! We have had amazing results with HW platinum 40A, but i think i will go for the 60 or 70 amp version just to be safe! cheers
