Do some reading in the motors and batteries sections. Lots of ideas, photos, and information in there.
If you want fast, get a Stryker.

I say, probably spend MORE time with the cub, about 2-4 months before you upgrade.  |

just becareful with the nito and foam.
my cub would alomost do 60mph with a brushless motor, probably even more now with some better batteries and not using my 5 oz phone to measure speed. but the cub isn't that aroedynamic so its hard to get it to do much more then that..

I have an e flite 450 brushless in mine and think that if I had gone with a 480 I could fly faster and better. But alas the Super Cub is a foam plane, and like duck9191 said, it's not that aerodynamic. It is what it is (an overbuilt trainer) and the more you push it the faster the air frame gets beaten to a pulp, or something like that. But that's the funnest (is that a word?) part of it all.

now i dont know much about nitros and foam but I would say that the 2 together are probably not a good mix. i would think thast a .40 would have enough power to rip the firewall right off the cub. like pat and duck said, you can get great power and speed off a 450 or 480, and they are meant for foamies and parkflyers. just my .02

You guys aren't any fun....You're giving good advice. I don't think he wants it.
Personally I want to know how it comes out.
So, GO BIG, REALLY BIG and report back.

Exactly fly - go for it! But make sure you guys get video - It might be glorious.
