This was the most ridiculously awesome flight! Right from the one wheel takeoff I was blown away the whole time! I’ve never seen a timber be flown so aggressively. Its really cool to have been able to watch your piloting skills progress in a really short period of time. Flawless, just amazing. I hope one day I’ll be able to get my TT Evo looking this sick! Keep it up 👍
Thank you Travis!
Glad to see the extra power doesn't flutter it. I will be ordering some of theses right after this video
That's just good rc tv, Jon.
Great batteries for sure. I'll have to get a couple, soon.
Nice work on the camera, Tony.
AirHammer out!!
Great video, smooth delivery and very inspiring
Wow Jon. I wish I could fly as good as you. You show us every time what you can get out of every plane. Your flying is just awesome thanks for sharing. Say thank you for your brother Tony doing the video too please.
Cheers Johan
Johan is jy van suid afrika?
@@m135i. Ja. Bly in Western Cape. 😊
This is exactly what I was asking about. Excellent. I am a beginner with a lot to learn. Power source was one of my first concerns. Very impressive. Way to stand behind your product. So to speak. This will be my first battery purchased ever. Good show!
Sold. This is what I’m looking for. Although I don’t have your skill level but it just looks like so much fun.
It's a ton of fun. Make sure you follow our setup guide if you want it to fly like this, and consider picking it up via the link in the description. Also, join us on Discord and our community will happily assist you with any questions you've got: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
killing it on the sticks brother 😎
He is seriously not kidding, i bought 2 of the 3600 packs and omg, its a completely different plane, unlimited climb and 3/4 throttle on these is full throttle on your typical spektrum battieres. So glad i saw this video
I have LIHV packs for my helicopter I always wondered if I could run them in my planes I actually have 2 timber evolutions gonna try a LIHV pack this weekend in it. 👍👍👍👍 awesome flying as always bro.
Nice flying, just ordered a pair of 6s 3600mah for my 60" EF Laser.
Didn’t realize you could do those stunts on an electric foamie! Wow.
Two words... Hell and Yes!!
Good job Tony great film
👀
❤
These packs are great need one for my timber x
Pick 'em up before they sell out!
Cameraman never dies. Send it 🤣
I honestly can't believe the wings survived. They had some serious flex going on. I'm going to look into making some of the adjustments mentioned in your other video to get a little more agility out of it. I bought and extra 300 and its a big jump between the two.
The TT has incredibly well-designed wings. The flex is good - it means they won't break.
Wish I could buy those pilot skills with the battery. Thank you!
I’ll be in school, but I’ll try to watch it
👀
more set up videos would be awsome.
We'd need more time to do that. Not every model requires one either.
Good point . I fly scale. But it gets boring sometimes. So then I’ll play around with some 3D
Hey Jon I know this isnt a review of the TT Evo. And, no doubt you're an awesome pilot. Ive been flying the TT Evo a few months now. The A/c flies beautifully in no way are my skills close to yours. But, I have to mention the flaw in the landing gear springs. They break/snap easily always in the same place after a few landings or a significant bounce Ive had to replace a spring at least 6 times since Ive had it. Im not the only one has had the same issues with this a/c. I got so tired of having to replace the springs I finally came up with my own solution and made my own modified landing gear. I basically took a 5 1/2 " aluminum tubing and inside I used 2 mini bungie cords. Works beautifully have yet to break a bungie cord. I love flying this A/C. And Im going to pick a couple of these SMC-Racing Batteries so I can get my skills close to yours. Thx Brother
Thanks for the kind words! We've only had springs fail like three times in 2.5 years of owning various Timbers, and it's usually from a frontal impact like hitting a large rock or being nose-down while impacting the ground - like coming out of a flat spin. We haven't felt the need to do anything with the springs except keep a spare set around for the once-a-year event where they break for us.
So just got some of these packs, I see you changed the prop but did you have to do anything else to the esc or power system? I have a beech18 I plan on using these in but worried if the stock setup will handle the lihv now
Nope, no changes were made to the power system. The stock system can handle it on a D18. We flew ours on the HV 4400 packs no issues whatsoever.
Hey man, love the videos, can you make a video on how to do these maneuvers on the turbo timber evo? Like the snap rolls knife edge rolls and flat spins? I saw the video on the extra 300 but I can't get it to do anything on Realflight sim. Thank you!
RF isn't going to simulate how ours is set up. The physics engine just can't do it.
@TwoBrosRC gotta have the 150% rates to do these dont ya? 🤔
@@WHBVERDE69 It certainly helps.
Cool to see what my plane can do. Are the electronics inside the plane upgraded or is it the stock items that the bnf model comes with?
Stock electronics with upgraded servos.
Hi, Jon firstly thanks for all your content great stuff! I've switched to SMC because of your demos, but sometimes I get weird results. I've had the e-flite extra 300 go into soft voltage cutoff on a full charge I had to reduce full charge to 4.34 on some packs to fix that. And some models the packs are excellent but sometimes others will lack power. Is there a way to "trick" the ESC to accept these high voltage packs? One small 3s Carbon cub S2 will pulse on a full 3s 2400 SMC works fine if I partially charge the pack. Please let me know. Thanks Stephen.
When you plug in a fully charged pack, pay attention to the beeps coming from the motor. If you hear five with a 4 cell pack, it thinks it's a five cell pack. Fly it until it drops below 17v and plug it back in. It will then act like a regular battery.
@@TwoBrosRC Ahh, will start paying attention. Thanks so much.
Question…just purchased the SMC 3600 hv lipos after watching your video. I’m a beginner and would like to know what run time I should expect? I’d like to set my timer but not sure what to set it too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
We'd suggest using voltage telemetry instead of a timer, but a good starting point would be 4 minutes.
I wouldn't describe your past Timber content as "super boring" (I've enjoyed all of it!) but that was some pretty amazing flying! Curious, looks like you pretty much always install the battery at or just about all the way to the back of the battery compartment?
Compared to this we feel it was pretty boring, but we're also pretty critical of ourselves. Gotta be willing to face your own shortcomings to continue improving. The battery always goes as far back as possible on most of our models. We can probably go even further back by moving the receiver around.
Hi, do you find your TT EVO runs hot on the stock system and regular batteries? Mine would come down almost too hot to touch with the stock prop on 4S. I propped it down to a APC 12X6E two blade prop but that didn’t help much. Others on RC Groups have reported the same issue. I wonder if the extra voltage and capacity of the SMC HV packs might put the power system over the edge and fry the motor. I use SMC regular and HV batteries in many planes and they the best.
Going from 11x7 to 12x6 isn't really propping down - it's basically the same. 13x4 is propping down for this model - that's what we fly on. 13x4 pulls fewer amps so the ESC doesn't have to work hard at all. Even LiPo packs were causing issues on the stock setup, so definitely go to 13x4 if you're looking for longevity and efficiency. The motor can take the power, it's the ESC that hits thermal protection at 230F. It doesn't damage the unit, but it does make it throttle back to 60% power. You need the presence of mind to remember to throttle back completely and then throttle up for it to engage to 60% though.
Open up the vents in the cowl, 13x4 prop, move esc forward. You do all this and it won’t overheat again I promise.
Bad ass
👀
Hello, I have a question. I want to put a 2800 4s 30 c battery from hobby king in my turbo timber. But I have a blue attachment on the battery and I don't know how to connect the battery with the airplane.
Join us on Discord and share an image of the attachment in the #props channel - bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
@twobrosrc What nose cone did you use for the 2 bladed prop? I have been looking to switch to the 2 bladed prop but do not want to demolish the 3 blade cone in the process. What do you recommend??
The standard Timber spinner for the Timber X will do it: bit.ly/3GCvabO
@@TwoBrosRC Thank you!! I’m definitely using your link for those smc packs!!
We don't get anything for SMC sales, but we appreciate the thought!
Hi Jon and Tony, since I'm living in Germany I'm sadly not able to order a SMC battery.
Which battery would you recommend otherwise for the best 3D performance of the TT Evo?
I would be happy about an answer since I'm thinking highly of your opinion. Keep up the excellent videos.
Greetings from Germany
Try contacting SMC directly via www.smc-racing.com to see if you can buy some packs and get them shipped to Germany. Otherwise CNHL packs usually perform pretty well from what we've heard.
Will you do a service upgrade video on this model? My concern is the elevator servo being reversed. I changed the elevator servo in my TTE and had to mount the elevator servo upside down. I don't have access to reverse servo in the receiver.
Service upgrade video?
Yes
Servo! Not service
@@onthereel6854 check YT for the Timber Evo setup guide we published. It includes servo replacements.
Do they get better flight time because you don't have to use as much power as a normal lipo? Or can they get better flight time while still pushing the throttle the same as normal lipo?
You'll get more flight time in general, especially if you're not pushing full throttle constantly.
What prop are you using? How does the stock 3 blade prop compare in your experience? Also can you do a how to video for the high performance setup you use on your timber?
13x4 prop. The stock prop is less than ideal - it's not as powerful as the 13x4 and it pulls more amps. It looks like you found the setup guide.
@@TwoBrosRC yup, I found it, thanks!
Do the smc high voltage packs have the same storage voltage as regular lipos, or do i have to store them at another voltage?
3.85v is preferred which works for LiPos as well.
@@TwoBrosRC that's perfect, I already store my lipos at 3.85 anyway. Something I've always been a bit confused on is what defines the edge of the storage voltage range for lipos. I've always thought it was 3.8-3.89 v/cell , but sometimes I've seen you land with a pack at 3.79 or even 3.75 and said it was at storage voltage. What would you say are the min/max volts/cell for it to still be considered storage voltage (for regular lipos)?
@@flyingfools47 3.7 to 3.85 is storage for all LiPos. HV should be stored from 3.8 to 3.85 generally.
How is ESC temperatures with higher voltage batteries? I know TT Evo has problems with that even on normal batteries.
A little higher but that's because we're running it on full throttle much longer than we normally would. Tapped out around 165f, much lower than the 230f limit for thermal protection.
@@TwoBrosRC so you're running the stock ESC and prop?
We're using a 13x4 propeller which produces more low-end thrust and reduces amp draw.
How does the flight envelope of the Turbo Timber compare with the Air Tractor???
Never flew the Air Tractor but they probably fly similarly.
Hey Jon, what prop is this using? My mate has one (I have the super ez, love it!), he's crashed it a few times... The last one was on Sunday when he flew it full speed into my face haha. Broken nose, 7 stitches and lots of blood! Anyway it'll be alive again, funniest thing was I was flying my super ez at the time and obviously the first thing I said was "Where's my plane??" it flew out over the ocean and somehow the wind blew it back and it pretty much landed 10m away from us! Ha! I also got 3 days off work so that was nice 👍
13x4 is what we're flying on. Jeez. How'd you get away with only a broken nose and some stitches with a propeller to the face? That's nightmare fuel. Hope you heal up soon!
@@TwoBrosRC great thanks for that. Yea I was very lucky I didn't lose an eye, and is a good reminder to keep safe and keep aware of your surroundings when you're participating in this hobby!
I'm curious why the SMC discharge rates are so high at 75. At 5000mAh (5Ah) 30C = 150A so my Viper 90mm only needs a 30C with its 130A ESC to function at 100%. No?
It's marketing. The true C rate is closer to 40 on these packs. Almost no battery manufacturer uses true spec rates because they all inflate them. SMC is more accurate than most.
Where did you get the prop and spinner?
th-cam.com/video/MOJow4i9J0I/w-d-xo.html
Links are in the description of that vid. Give it a watch, you may find its STOL capabilities to be very surprising.
A little off topic I am looking at getting the eflite valiant or the FMS pa 18 1300mm, which do you suggest. I am a novice at flying but have been into rcs for almost 40yrs
Having never flown the Valiant, we'd recommend the Super Cub. It'll be more resistant to damage. They should both be relatively easy to fly. The Super Cub is currently sold out: bit.ly/SuperCub1300
So if you want something to fly now, the Valiant would be a good choice: bit.ly/3GYgx3l
@@TwoBrosRC thanks for the info . I hear alot of positive things about the Valiant. Get your hands on one and let know lol I appreciate your knowledge in aviation. I work beside the Martin Mars and now have the bug to fly! Thanks for your informative vids!
What voltage are you using the 11.4 or the 15.2? For both batteries?
15.2v 2800 and 3600 packs.
Is that a 13x4 prop? What your recommend? I just casual fly
It is a 13x4 and it's highly recommended.
TimberX for 3D but this is impressive too
how do i set up full span flaps on my turbo timber
Follow our setup guide.
Did you paint the wing connector red?
Yep!
Can you do harriers with the timber?
Inverted, which we did a few times. Not upright. Or at least not very well.
do u set esc to 4s instead oh auto i know lvc needs to be off or at 3v but cheacking if u set auto calculate lipo cells lipo hv packs the esc
We didn't change the ESC except to disable LVC.
@@TwoBrosRCthank you i ordered the battery and servos can i still use stock prop on this setup or use the 13x4 prop only
@steven198130 You should run the 13x4. It'll run much cooler and provide more low end thrust.
Can smc packs be exported to here in the UK??
Contact SMC, they might be able to work something out for you.
Hello witch propeller are you using
13x4.
I am sad this batteries are still unavailable in Europe, I want to try them out since I saw you talk marvels about them (and some good info on rcuniverse aswell).
...however... while I know the manufacturer states that they last a lot... I still do not trust that. Not until I test that for myself. All the LiHv I had (even from brands with high reputation like Kokam) performed really well but really started to lose punch after a fairly low amount of cycles. As someone that can have 300+ flights in his batteries before replacing them that is a concern.
Reach out to SMC, pretty sure they can work something out for you. We agree you should test things for yourself - but let it be known that we've flown our 5500 test packs quite a bit (well over 20 times) since we got them and there's been no noticeable increase to the battery's internal resistance. The LiHV packs you're used to flying are unfortunately just bad - these are the real deal.
@@TwoBrosRC Thanks a lot for your response. I will try to reach them and see if I can order a pair of batteries.
I saw you have flown your test packs and are very happy about them from other videos (maybe it was in the rafale or the f16 one?). For me 20 flights (even 40) is still a tad low to feel confident about a good aging in a battery.
Best regards!
Jon, do I need a special charger to the LiHV batteries ?
Most chargers we've used can charge LiHV.
@@TwoBrosRC got it. And when I charge them I should choose a different battery type or just as lipo?
@@nirlachman007 Pick LiHV if you can. Otherwise charging it to 4.2v will be fine, you just won't get as much capacity charged.
@@TwoBrosRC you can always set the fully charged cell voltage to 4.35 like my icharger does
Imagine being in a plane doing those knife edge spins 🤮😂. is that just the stock BL 10 and a 13x4? That has some serious punch out power!
Yep! Stock power with a 13x4.
what size propeller do you use ?
13x4
What's the minimum voltage for these batteries? Is it still 3.0 like regular lipos?
You should plan to run them down to no less than 3.6v per cell, much like LiPo packs.
@@TwoBrosRC What I meant was what is the absolute minimum voltage before cell damage occurs (which for normal lipos is 3.0). Typically the voltage I fly down to is indeed 3.4-3.6 volts per cell after landing, but while under load from the motor it can sag as low as 3.1-3.2 briefly at high power settings. So to ensure I get the most flight time out of the pack that I possibly can without hurting the battery, I'm more concerned with the absolute minimum voltage than the resting voltage of the pack after landing of that makes sense. I plan on using it with a telemetry capable ESC, so I can program warnings when it nears that absolute minimum voltage
@@flyingfools47 Your best bet for pack longevity is to sacrifice a few seconds of flight time and plan to land around 3.7 to 3.8v. Unforeseen winds and other issues can cause the battery to be irreparably damaged if you try to get more time. But to specifically answer your question, 3.6v is our generally understood limit for HV cells.
@@TwoBrosRC well with live telemetry I'm always able to land immediately once the pack reaches a low voltage. Even if I'm flying more aggressively than normal due to the wind, I still always land at the same voltage since I just land as soon as the telemetry says 3.4-6 v/cell at cruise power. Regardless though that's good to know, I'll be sure to do that. Is your 3.6 v/cell guideline 3.6 volts under load, or 3.6 after landing?
@@flyingfools47 After landing. It should be resting at no less than 3.6v.
can it do unlimited vertical?
Yep!
what prop are you using?
13x4
@@TwoBrosRC oh cool I just bought 2 of them. How are the APC thin electric? APC also had one called the sport 13x4. It was a little bit heavier we assumed it was made for nitro planes?
Can someone please send my a video on how to replace these darn springs. Mine are started to fail. And I can’t find a single vid on this process. If you could link a vid in the comments of this one please do so. Thank you!
The manual covers how to install the springs with a step-by-step guide.
Thank you. I looked everywhere but the manual 😂.
Do y’all think the 6200mAh-75C battery would be a little too much I know you rocked the 3600 in this video I’m worried the 6200 would blown up my plane
Also what charger would be best for these types of batteries
We'd recommend the 3600 or 2800. The 6200 would likely not fit and would also cause a lot of wing loading issues.
A charger like this should be able to handle it: bit.ly/3sLxSIv
@@TwoBrosRC thanks for the feed back what battery would you recommend to charge a 2800 battery. Im looking for one on a budget that would get the job done
What battery? Not sure we follow you here.
I have controls (graupner mz 24 pro hott) and receiver gr-16 graupner. I am thinking of buying a timber evolution 1.5m PNP turbo plane. I am wondering if it is possible to connect my controllers and receiver to his controller (60-amp Spektrum Avian Smart ESC)
Yeah, that should work fine.
@@TwoBrosRC can you set the motor rotation left and right on my graupner 24pro hott controls and gr 16 graupner transmitters
No idea, man. We fly Spektrum.
at 5:19 what is that trick called?
It's sort of a forward crankshaft.
@@TwoBrosRC thanks!
