Trex 700e Photo Shoot (Wiring, Batteries, etc.)

[Brett74]

I am running those servos I have on 8 volts though, 1258TG they are called.

[Brett74]

I have been looking at the Savox servos and think there is something fichy with there HV range...seeing as though there normal servos are being run on high voltage by loads of people without problems...

I think they changed some things on the circuit board.. These are New or at least recent. I found a guy on EBAY that sells these cheap. I need a very very high torque servo on my Raptor 90 pitch tray. I just changed them to HV8917 JR but I debated on going with these. My next crash where I damage a servo and I will be giving these a go. Sorry about going off subject , but I havent seen anybody in the states with Savox, but the specs are amazing for this servo.

Here are a couple wiring photos. No BEC just 2S Lipo straight into the VBar and a 2 V step down on the 650 on the tail. All 620's running on straight 2S. I just added the Bluetooth and also a more secure way to hold the battery tray in place without using velcor straps.

I'm buying a 700e myself and putting my 600 in a fuselage. Both require a 12s set up. Hot did you wire the batteries to get that set up?

Finally everything is ready configured and apparently ok. I just have to wait for better weather and possibly the spring / summer.

Have both CoPilot II, Telemetry and LiFe RX. This 700E is to be an AP platform eventually.

Thanks to all who have helped me on the HeliFreak!

Whats do you gain from sliding your pack all the way to the front like that, look like it throws off the center of gravity ?

[Cirkus]

Mine is in the same place because I have a separate Rx pack.

OYLORE: What do you think of the nanotechs? I'm considering ordering a few...

[OYLORE]

I use the Nanotech on my 450pro 3G and 500esp VbarMini with no problem at all. On my 700e I have only done testing so far....

Engine battery is not adjusted yet. A GoPro camera wil be mounted under the helicopter for more testing before I mount an another camera on a bigger suspension (rig).

Waiting for the camera and parts!

Does anyone have pics of clean battery wiring for the TP 5000mah 65c batteries? I've been trying to fit these batts in my new 700e for 2 days now. No matter how i orient the batteries the wiring is a mess. it keeps snagging on the sides of the frames.

[Haplo]

Hope this helps.

[Haplo]

Let's try that again. Hope this helps.

Haplo,
Thank you. Are you running a cap bank with all of that extra wiring? I was trying to eliminate as much extra wiring as possible to avoid that. Have you looked at your ripple voltage in the data logger with the 65c's?

Yeah, that's a crazy amount of battery cable...wow. I would be getting a cap pack for sure...

Here is mine.

Bryan, in your 700E image it seems that the internal antenna on the spektrum receiver is all curled up on top of the receiver. I have noticed this myself trying to figure out which receiver to use. Since RX battery need to go on top of the tray the options are limited as far as were a "full size" receiver will fit. Will the curled up antenna cause an issue? Do you use one or two satellites?
