As a long time(ish) contributor to this forum, can I recommend a 1400kv brushless motor, 40 amp brushless esc and a 2200 mah turnigy lipo, and a 10x6 prop ( same as I fly). This set up will do about 70mph ( there are Youtube videos of the 70mph SC, but it's not mine) Dylan, john, ging, flydiver, all y'all......... He just needs encouragement from you.  please do NOT knock him down when he's doing so well! It's easy! ;D ;D Go for it panicbutton! Modifications are all over the forum, feel free to use them. Chris. |

Really won't go a whole lot faster in stock form. The power plant parts are balanced but limited.
Unfortunately you really would need to gut it and replace everything but the foam, including the transmitter. That's what folks seem to do here. There are dozens of ways to do it. Read, chose, and jump in. It'll cost you a bit since the foam is almost the cheapest part.

yea, so i have no idea what all that means electronics is a new concept for me
I figure everybody goes brushless so that will be a goal of mine.
I would also like more flight time then 12 minutes, and is there anyway around the hour charging of each battery?
I would also like to have a couple batterys laying around best place to order them?
thanks !

I would also like to have a couple batterys laying around best place to order them? You see, this is a classic example why people should state their location so others can help them! We don't know where in the world you are, so how can you get advice on the best place to buy batteries? Anyway, if by chance you're in the UK, have a look at the helpful response I got when I posed the same question recently. It's reply #7 here: supercubclub.proboards.com/index.....ead=3882&page=1 Now please update your profile with your location - and everyone else, too! ;D |

There is also the question of budget. You could dump $300+ into going brushless EASY (if you include TX), or do it for relatively cheap, like I did. My plane still screams, but I envy the guys with nicer radios. I'm running a 1020kV motor with 2200Mah batteries and I'm pretty happy, though I crashed before the battery died, haha.
