Some generic LiPo Guidance for low temperatures: https://www.gensace.de/blog/temperature-affect-lipo-battery-performance/ (took the first google result which read well, there may be others - better ones) But I really wouldn't recommend to anyone to operate LiPos below 10°C - even if they "seem to work" you may harm your battery in the long run. By the way: Don't know if everybody here is aware of the stepping-back from Fortronik d.o.o. in regard of their "changeable batteries"-support-advertisment with which they attracted people initially (read on here to see the percentages which will be granted on buying a new replacement units for yourself if you have a damaged battery). Big bummer it is - at least for me this is another huuuuuuuge list of CONs of their lacking "..." (I can't tell what they are missing, but I as a customer am already very tired of their BS marketing / also not giving any real product support as we can see from their DEV Roadmap..).

You wouldn't believe, but the sweat temp spot for LiPos to be operated is at 39°C. The lower the temperatures, the slower the chemical reactions can happen in the accumulators, which results in easily happening shortages & possible damage towards the batteries... So I wouldn't recommend to use LiPos below 10°C environmental temperatures. (Or if you know they will heat themselves up by usage due to huge allowed power drains, one may operate them in lower tmp environments).

New to Bw3? The modes are just for the Bw2, no functin at the Version 3 at all. So yes, it will give ~12V to the outputs at full batt.

Have two, but unfortunately build in one of my bikes which I wasn't able to drive. I have the same feeling for the micromotors.. at least when used with the 12V from a Buwizz.. Question to the experts: I expect their specs to work until 9V, correct? On the other side I am curios if one could build a 8stud speed champion stale RC car (skid steering, disensembling a batterybox to get the batt and the receiver in somehow + doing a fitting body) - but I guess from the huge size of all brands rc receivers, I can only think of a truck, no flat supercar.. :( But at least skidsteering is working with them.. Meet Stuart - a only-13-part-car to test the motors 😂

@Aleh maybe you have exchanged both with each other...?! "CaDA Bricks is a brand of building bricks created by the Double Eagle Group, located in mainland China (Shantou city).", via https://decadastore.com/en-de/pages/about-us

Unfortunatly they are very expensive right now.. Ordered 20 of those for testing purposes, but with 0.35 € per piece they are currently living in the category "my precious".. 😅 I also fear that if one gets used to them you will need more.. So I would hope for CaDA pushing the pieces in new Sets for people recognizing them, so CaDA could start to mass produce & therefore decrease the costs per part..

Unfortunately I wasn't 100% in the topic when I wrote that statement and was only thinking about regular (non-hardware related) 32bit DLLs. So "old Fart not even being able to read correctly"

Fingers crossed it all works out - yeah ok, havent thought about dlls for serial ports or generic HW implementations - there the abstraction layer of more modern x64 OSes won't allow the old way of interacting with the OS-level functionality. Btw megabluck, plenty of time has passed since then and I am getting an old fart xD

Its a sysadmin here & I have enough experience with old DLLs/Executeables for 32bit systems - generally it shouldn't be a big issue to use them generally in modern x64 systems, thanks to WoW64 - one just needs to know what to do..

Thanks for the nice video! Haven't recognized it was a BW2 before... So seems the original setup of yours is less a burden to the battery + in the other configuration its already stepping out at the normal speed, with less airflow at the probe if I have seen it correctly.

🤩🥰🥰🥰👌

sheeeeeeeeeeeesh, expert tools :D I think the weight of the construction will be the critical thing -> the longer the axle, the greater the axial forces (increased lever due to greate distance to the axlehole where it spins..). Possible solution: Aluminium axles (but those are also prone to bend under higher loads or in the long run) Also with the Voltage of the Buwizz3 instantly going down rapidly with this 2A constant load at the fast buggy output, it may not be feasible to mount even more blades (and therefore increase load even further because of more air-resistance). I think the limit for one Buwizz will be 4 blades with the wide side shoveling air at the lower output (~1.5A drain, Buwizz barely able to deliver, but Voltage also may drop fast.) + due to the motors having constant load, they easily got warm (even with air-cooling :P). Could you do the tests with both the blade configurations + with both of the buggies outputs? (also maybe having a look at the Voltage & Current @Buwizz App?). But don't feel rushed & if its too much tests also fine if you say "naahw" :)

The CaDa parts arrived... 15 pieces for ~11€.. So testing failures won't result in direct bankruptcy 😅 Edit: Omfg the blades arent pushing any air outwards of their diameter... even with a MK reciever it creates a huge amount of airflow.. xD Edit2: Oh boy, in the fast output it easily leaches the battery empty with a steady current of 2 amps 🤯 at 100% - with the slower output it will go down to ~1.5 amps drain - still plenty, but I guess as its constantly working against the medium, this is expected :D

In theory yes, but keep in mind that the outer end will travel more distance and gets faster therefore..

Its just an idea I am interested in to test out if it will be possible... So I am no big fan of big announcement and releases, so here is the idea: Would like to see if its possible to create a working RC Motorglider (top triangle-wing). Trial and error will eventually tell if turning the complete rotor or just angling the wing will be enough (the latter would be cooler, as it would be like the original motorgliders I have in mind, where the driver has the steering bar for the wing..) Thing is: regular stund kites have no planar wings, so it maybe needed to just get some meters of ripstop polyester and form a planar surface - but this will include knitting etc pp. Unfortunately back in school I just made the course of knitting - so I may need to time to get the wing prepared or have to search for some skilled hands to do this for me. And also the other propeller alignment could just create airflow outwards its diameter, but not into one axial direction - so looking forward what your testresults will look like. 🤩 @Void_S I am not that helicopter guy, but I guess implementing it to be stable enough for the big wingblades would make it really big (maybe not really useable) - but yes, that would be the best solution :D

Recently found out that CaDA luckily offers them too for less money too. The originals will succeed the value of gold soon I guess... 😪 Keep us updated, will also work on one tech study with those propellers.. 😅

More attack surface of the wings should move more air when turned by 90° as shown in the picture - they will have higher resistance though. But I am also not sure if their even wingform will lead the air into the correct direction. Couldn't test for myself, waiting for some of those expensive things to be delivered to mine... :D

@pow Haha thanks, seems my style is "minimalistic editing because I hate this". That MK Howto was just done because I was annoyed by repeatingly write the same explanations to answer questions of other ppl on fb groups.. 😅 Hope it fills a gap of missing information to help people (and saves me time in the long run 🙄). I only started with the MK 4.0 system which was already being able to use proportional controls, so no experiences with their predecessors.. But you are right, they are not communicating very well (but I guess people are buying anyways, so no need for them to change anything I guess). Also wondering why the 6.0 system is missing from the most recent app version (2.2).

I think if they would be angled by 90°, they would even have a greater power/impact..

@FriedlS Think not, MK put them off market quite fast after some rumors of them not working properly came up. I did some research back then and found one aliexpress shop which had one item explicitely stating that he sold the stepped ones -> ordered 3 of them back then (wasn't sure about fake of the offer, so didn't want to put too much money in, if it were regular servos..) - I can recheck but I think the shop / item is gone already. Edit: The item is still there, but not the option for the proportional one...

Better called them stepped.. havent exactly in mind if it was two or three inbetween steps until 90° is reached.

As a 3Cell LiPo has a nominal voltage of 11.2V, they can theoretically be connected to a MK remote, one german guy tested it with dc power supply and his test results were, MK can work up to 11-12V Volts before it kicks out. But I guess using the driver ICs without any passive heatspreaders may result in fast coming damage.. @2GodBDGlory I am with you.. Not really understanding why CaDA with DoubleEE in the background not creating a brick-compatible housing for a regular rc receiver, another one for an ESC and regular rc hobbies connectors for batteries.. This would be so %$^# awesome + modular.. :D

Yeah, seems unfortunate to have that functionality removed from the analog remotes..

What I know is available: 3.0 (the big thing containing battery and two motors with an older smaller remote, just 2 channel inputs will be interpolated into kind of "tracked steering") 4.0 with digital remote (the little white one from my video) 4.0 with analog remote (the big one of yours) 6.0 with analog remote - Analog remotes between 4.0 and 6.0 are not compatible to each other - 3.0 can be controlled with the 4.0 small hardware remotes if I am not mistaken

@wower you are speaking of this one: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/yLUAAOSw3wFgyXqL/s-l500.jpg? Never had that controller for the 4.0 system - there you should be at least able to change directions per channel - but not sure if the shoulder buttons' long-press will also bind them (Output B or C) to Input/Output A.
