Outrage 550 Setups

LITHIUMSTATIC · 07-07-2008, 01:39 AM

List your Outrage 550 setups! It's never to early to start making planes. I'l go first.

Jazz 80 ESC
9252 cyclic servos
9256 on the tail
Solid G Gyro
Motor... undecided
560mm Rototech Mains
92mm tails
6s 5000 Outrage Lipos
Western Robotics BEC High Current
AR7000

I'm kicking around the idea of running an 8s setup on this heli.....

Well if it's a 550 then the Z-Power Z30A should work pretty good but I've no idea what kv the bird is designed around. The Z30A is normally 1150kv. Although they do an 800kv version as well.

SteveL · 07-07-2008, 05:21 PM

I have in my possession:
FASST 8CH Rec
Spartan Gyro
CC HV 80
CC BEC
I am thinking
560 Rotortechs (If Outrage 550s are not available yet)
92 Rotortech tails.
BLS 251
3 BLS 451s (Hope I have the #s right)
Not sure on the power yet. Charley is testing with a Z30 and 6S 5000s

Long Nguyen · 07-07-2008, 10:09 PM

If I had one Here would be my setup:

- Jazz 55-10-32
- Tonic-X 800kv
- Outrage 8s 3700
- Rotortech 560
- Futaba s9452s on cyclic
- Spartan + 8900G on tail

trextuning · 07-08-2008, 03:02 AM

interesting, I was planning on 8S 3700 as well

Castle HV-110
Outrage 8S 3700
CSM 720
not decided on blades but have some Rotortech's here
BLS-251 tail servo
Z30A motor
need to find some cyclic servos, I'm sure I have some here somewhere

Probably stating the obvious, but the Jazz 80 won't do 8S. Now the Jive 80+ HV...

trextuning · 07-18-2008, 07:30 AM

true, but he list his setup as 6S

, only thinking about 8S..... but thanks for the clarification

darthdecon · 07-20-2008, 01:51 AM

Well, my setup is going to be.........

Ouch!.......Woman!........Stop!........Hitting!... ....Me!...........

okay maybe this one will have to wait awhile unless i want a permanent room at the hospital.

Okay shes gone will let you all know my setup at later date

I've been kicking around what I run on this heli.... Think about this...

Keeping with the spirit of high voltage low amp draw (like the G5) I'm kicking around the idea of using a 10s setup. Now hear me out before you "Jeremy has lost his mind". If I can get a Lipo pack around 700-800 grams and a mah of around 2600-2800 running a 10s setup would really work well. I don't know the gearing on this heli so I can't start matching components, but I think it could be done.... CC85-HV ESC.... Hummmm......

Just to add even more options to the mix, I'm running 10S A123 on my Swift. Pack weight is 775g, 2300mah (and 2000 mah of that is usable, no 80% rule like with lipo). Output voltage under load is ~29 volts.

In my Swift, running a Neu 1910/1.5Y / CC45HV, I get 6 minutes of aggressive sport flying at 1950 rpm on 550 SABs.

Now the bigger question is whether the 10S A123 "brick" configuration will fit in the frames.

Beaver Rat · 07-30-2008, 04:11 PM

CC85HV ESC
Hacker A40 10L Electric Turbine
Futaba 9252s
Jr 770 with 8900
outrage 6S 5000mah
rotortech 560s
k&B 92mm tails
CC BEC

Beaver Rat · 08-11-2008, 08:34 PM

Would it be allright to use a non HV CC80 esc?

Yes unless you run more than 6s.

Beaver Rat · 08-13-2008, 07:37 PM

Is there any need to run more than 6s on this heli

?

Foxden · 08-18-2008, 01:42 PM

Not if you watch the video's of Henry Caldwell, Steven Fox and Craig Martin, they were all running 6S 5000ma Outrage packs.

LITHIUMSTATIC · 10-10-2008, 10:44 PM

I decided on going with a 6s setup for sure. I'm also going to use the ESC the Team Pilots are using (PHX-120) with the Z30-1100 or Scorpion HK-4020-1100 motor.

Getting closer!!! Can't wait. Unloading stuff to make room in my hanger.

could useing 2 3s 2200 packs from their 450 w/ a z20 motor work. only for sport flyin. ive seen a bunch of ppl do this w/ their g550, but then again, that bird is LIGHT. just an idea for those budget flyers.

DominicD · 10-13-2008, 12:33 PM

2x 2200mah pack is going to be a VERY short flight and pushing it in the power dept.
