The TT Evo has a service bulletin on the HH website for repositioning the ESC for more airflow due to temperature problems. I opted to take my soldering iron and burned 4 angled slots thru the underside of the fuselage to allow more air in. I was careful and the slots actually look stock.
Nice I did something similar when that TSB was released and used a cheater vent from my old F-16 fuselage and cut a rectangle to fit it and glued it in. The ESC stays nice and cool. But the motor in this video did not survive 😁
I just maidened mine on floats today and landed hard and got water in the motor/esc and I got the smoke too! hahaha. The floats seemed to fill up with water which threw off the CG. I contacted Horizon Hobby and hopefully they will honor my warranty claim. :) Video coming soon. I have a lot of content but no time to edit. haha.
You've downgrade the motor of that timber, the e-flite size 10 BL motor is a 3642... you got a smaller motor with a higher kv!!! Pay attention to the temps of that ESC, the tend to get hot. If you wanted more power you could just spend 5$ on a APC 13x4 prop, it would increase thrust and reduce the A drawing.
Thanks for the information and yes it has a higher kv but I also reduced the timing since this video and a 13x4 prop. The plane is flying great and I plan to bring it out again for the camera
Isn't this Hobby so Fun! Great Job Bro!!
It is fun. Thank you.
Like Brian Phillips RC often says... Nobody died! 😊
Correct it was a safe dead stick landing 😆

Dang bro! Lol. Hope you get it back up in the air soon!! I just ordered the BNF with floats. Video coming soon. Subbed!
Thanks bro and yeah it's back up and flying again. I'll be sure to check out your video.
That was great flying my friend! Love it!!
Landed it like a Boss 👍
Wow how unfortunate, but great deadstick landing.
Yeah I have a new Avian motor installed and corrected the timing so she's flying great. Plenty of power and increased flight time.

Oh no man sorry to hear that. CG can be a pain especially with water in a float. That's like having a swinging weight attached.
Awesome!
Thank you.
Nice save man! 👍
Great attitude!!
Thanks is always good to stay positive and easier too. 😊
I just killed my Cirrus today, ended up taking it home in a bag lol.... on a positive note though, my Turbo Timber Evo flew great
Ouch sorry to hear that. I bagged my Viper 70 alot when I first started with edf jets
good job my brother
Thank you

@@rcpilotwill Just keep an eye on that ESC, they tend to get hot, especially now with an higher Kv motor.
Keep on flying...
Good save !!!!
Watt meter, Watt meter, Watt meter .
Yeah😆
Where you located homie? That motor is whining like crazy!!! Good save dead stick landing. You got a new sub
North Carolina and yeah I pushed its limit good 😂
Sick
I assume you're talking about the smoke trail it left behind 😆
That could of been avoided-- Watt meter !
It could have, but we were just having fun. 😄 No planes were harmed during this video 😂
Did you upgrade the ESC? Prop?
No, it's just a motor upgrade, but it couldn't handle 4s
Why did the motor fail like that
I had the time set on high. I guess it was to much. Now it's on mid timing and a new spektrum motor with know issues.
