Anyone have the Z-power 5150 on belt drive? Since I'm going back to belt instead of TT I'd like to hear how the Z-power 5150 performs with the belt.

I have it on my belt bird and it screams. Literally, it is noticeably louder than the tt with the same motor. Don't use the carbon fiber boom unless you like vibration. I will try to tach it later on I'm working on her right now.

Ok just tached this beeotch and she says 4620 @ 90% and 4020 @75% This is about the same as the tt. But the belt sounds like it's faster.

Awesome head speed. That's not far from a 3S with the stock motor. Any bogging problems?

Very little bogging.

I'm starting to sort out the 800ma Evo Lite 3s right now.
18c continuous, 28c burst.
I've gotta move some stuff around in the heli though, this battery is Loonng!
But I'm hoping, with the Z motor and the right pinion....

Whoah!
Excellent. I'll get a couple. Stoats is sending another to test, that gives me about a half-dozen different types.
Given a bit of time next week, I'll see if I can get some testing done and own up to the latest Helista magazine cover ;-)
Man, we're getting new batteries, new blades, new motors, hot-shoe pilots in.
I think the momentum thing is starting to show up.
Where'd you get your Z motor, by the way?
