Do you have a need for speed? The Multiplex Funjet is the ultimate electric speed demon, even flown stock without any modifications. Flying at speeds in excess of 100 MPH requires high discharge batteries, and we’ve tested several new Generation 6 Thunder Power Lipo battery packs in the Funjet to determine the best setups for economical flying, mid range speed runs, or all out blazing fast power. Here’s a list of several tried and true setups that you can use with your Multiplex Funjet kit or receiver ready model.

Stock Motor, ESC and a G6 Pro Power 3s 2250 mAh Lipo

The stock 2700 Kv brushless motor and 37 Amp ESC in the Multiplex Funjet (Receiver Ready version) can push it to speeds of over 100 miles per hour with no modifications using a suitably high discharge lipo battery. We recommend a Thunder Power G6 Pro Power 65C 3s 2250 mAh lipo battery for this setup, not only because of the high power provided, but because this battery will fit neatly in the Funjet’s equipment bay. This battery has the capacity to provide flight times up to 10 minutes and has no problem providing the current that the stock setup requires. After soldering on some Deans connectors and plugging in the receiver of your choice, you will be ready to go flying.

Items Required to Complete this Setup (Including Receiver Ready Funjet):

• TP2250-3SPP65 Lipo Battery
• 3 channel (minimum) receiver + transmitter capable of elevon mixing
• Deans Ultra connector pair (for connecting battery to ESC)

Stock Motor, ESC and a Discount G4 Pro Power 30C 2 or 3 cell 2250 Lipo

While supplies last we are selling the last of the Generation 4 batteries by Thunder Power RC. For a relatively minimal decrease in performance, you can use a TP-2250-2SP30 (2 cell setup) or TP-2250-3SP30 (3 cell setup) with the stock equipment that the Multiplex Funjet RR comes with.

Items Required to Complete this Setup (Including Receiver Ready Funjet):

• TP-2250-2SP30 or TP-2250-3SP30 Lipo Battery
• 3 channel (minimum) receiver + transmitter capable of elevon mixing
• Deans Ultra connector pair (for connecting battery to ESC)

Upgraded ESC and 4 Cell 2250 Lipo Battery

This setup will provide you with a very, very fast RC airplane. Use the stock motor and propeller, but upgrade to a 4 cell battery and ESC.

Items Required to Complete This Setup (Including Receiver Ready Funjet):

• TP2250-4SPP65 Lipo Battery
• CC-PH60 60 amp brushless ESC
• 3 channel (minimum) receiver + transmitter capable of elevon mixing
• Deans Ultra connector pair (for connecting battery to ESC)

Hacker has upgraded all their A30 and A40 brushless motors for RC airplanes and helicopters to version 2. The new version 2 motors have many new features, which are all available to customers at no extra cost. The latest revisions were made to improve the already top-of the line flight characteristics customers have come to expect from Hacker products. Improvements to each motor’s design were made that improve efficiency, weight, lifetime and other characteristics. At the time of writing rctoys.com has all the most recent motors in stock and ready to ship, so if you’re building an electric model it’s a great time to get a high performance brushless motor.

New features of the V2 motors include:

• A new stator lamination material which improves the efficiency of the motors. This allows you to fly longer, higher and faster than before with the same battery, speed controller, and other hardware.
• A revolutionary new bearing design reduces the weight of A40 series motors by approximately 20%. This has immediate performance benefits that you will notice right away when flying. Your airplane will handle better, turn more sharply and be less tail heavy and more stable.
• A new integrated cooling system for all motors. Hacker motors are the highest performance and most efficient on the market, so they generate a lot of heat when pushed to the extreme. The new cooling system is factory mounted at each motors end bell and comes included in each motor. A cooling system was previously something that customers had to order separately at a cost of about $10.00 USD. The new integrated cooling system is included at no extra charge. The integrated cooling system prevents problems such as thermal expansion and will increase the lifespan and performance of your brushless motors.

The V2 motors we carry are:

• 

  The Hacker A30 10L V2 (HA-A30-10L-V2), replacing the HA-A30-10L

• 

  The Hacker A30 10XL V2 (HA-A30-10XL-V2), replacing the HA-A30-10XL

• 

  The Hacker A30 12XL V2 (HA-A30-12XL-V2), replacing the HA-A30-12XL
