210 flys it well but i think the 260 will be perfect power for it.
What gear did you use? Is electric gear an option now?
DO you guys have the wire harness for electric gear?

This is the new Electric gear package for the T-3 along with the E gear wire harness from PRCJ.

I've been testing them and they seem to be working flawlessly... Using a 9.9v Life pack, brakes are strong and the gear retracts smoothly. Sure makes a big difference in the build time and no air pumps needed...
Only thing required is to relive the rib a little for clearance.

Contact Dirk for the details on the gear and harness.

My gear seems to really struggle on the both the up and down cycle. This is my 3rd set of electric gear and these seem to barely cut it. I was considering sending them to down and locked to replace the motors with something more powerful.

3s life. Seems to struggle regardless of them in or out of the jet. The path that the trunion needs to follow seems very aggressive. Making it over the initial and final locking points are where it sees the most difficulty.

Your putting 9.9 into the Gear???? They are only rated for 7.4 - 8.4 vc

Look at the side of the controller... where the power connector goes..

Also, Shane from JP said that 9.9v is best for T3 retracts.

So I opened the T-3 box that came in this week, & to my surprise it is not the Pink Monster Color scheme I ordered but the Purple Monster. Contacted Dirk & he was shocked too. Going to have to wait till mid May for the Pink version. ☹️
