500TH/Pinion/Blade combo on Trex SE


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I am running the 500TH/13TH with 335 Align Pro Woodies - lots of pop - what are others running?

I tried my Align 315 Carbon blades that came with the SE - not very impressive by comparison to the 335 Pro Woodies - anyone else having success running these blades?

I'm running the 500TH 14T with TP 2070 3S Extremes, governed using a CC35 at 2800 RPM. I'm currently flying the white Align 325 CF blades (nice), but I was using the 325 Pro blades with similar results.

The climbout is great. The motor (~25 Celcius at 20 C ambient - measured at indoor last month) and batteries come down cool (~34 Celcius) after 5 minutes of hard flying.

I run the 500TH on 14T with a Jazz 40 in GOV mode at 3200RPM. TPX 2070/2200's get 5.5 minutes. I have tried Hyperions, Radix, V-Blades, 315/325/335 Pro woods, and the Radix seem to be the best all around blades. The V's are the stiffest, coolest sounding blades, and a little less efficient then the Radix. I fly the 325 Pro's most of the time, I crash to much to have Radix on all the time

I am going to have tryout a 14T - I think the 335 Pro woodies are pretty good for the price. Someday I will convince myself to fork over the dough for the radix blades.

My 315 carbons from align track perfectly - I think I am just used to having a larger rotor disc (and hence more punch). I'll give the 325 carbons from align a try.

The white Align 325 CFs look like SABs on the inside (pink foam filled) - ask me how I know.

RC Flight Store. I bought 3 pairs, busted one (and a whole lot of other stuff) within 3 seconds of takeoff (tail linkage let go while I was ~6" off the ground - poor workmanship on my part - not enough JB Weld).

Align is having problems keeping up with the demand for that product. They even have had to sub Pro blades in the v2 kits (reducing the price too) because of this supply issue.

How much did he carry the White CF's for? He has the best price on radix 325's I have seen, you should try some of those Murp
