How many RPM's??
 
How many RPM can a Bravo drive really handle? I have heard 6000 is about it, but I have also heard from some that the drive really doesn't care as long as the oil stays cool. Also can IMCO or some of the other improved Bravo drives out there handle more RPM? A well tuned BBC singing along at 6500 or so RPM is like music to my ears, but will the drive live? I know the motor will!!
Thanks,
Craig

Vette the problems with Bravo's are many !!

At or about 6k the oil cavates in the bearings this starts tons of problems

I have a freind that has a warlock 25 cat made when tom stolarz
was there and they would fly ,he had this one made with a high x,,, and light weight ,,,it now has a 598 1320 hp quad rotor with a bravo and he turns it 7200 so I guess anythings possible ??????

I gave him a basket to but the parts in but he stopped carrying it


be careful above 6 and use redline as it sticks to the gears !!!!
