30A ESC is plenty, 40 would work but no need to spend the extra money on it, if you have it to burn go for it.
You are correct on the motor.
I also used the aluminum mount they make, looks good, make life easy, and is strong and lite.
I mounted my ESC in the cowl zipped tied to the motor mount for the extra weight need after removed all the heavey brushed electronics.
450 Sport (includes 4mm prop adapter) = 20.00
32A Power Up ESC (I used a spare E-flite 30A I had) = 22.00
GWS 1060 prop = 3.25 for (2) (already had, that is the prop I used on stock cub with lipo's)
(2) TP SG90 Servo (typical 9g micro servo) = 4.00 a piece
Supercub motor mount they sell = 20.00
Total = $73.25 + 2.00 shipping
Had everything within 5 days
I did have to buy a Rx, Ar600 = 50.00
I use 3S lipos from 1550-2200mah 20-25C (Already had)
Then sell the old crap on Ebay or what ever, I upgraded for virtually nothing.
Since I have done this I enojoy the cub much more, I also flying mostly on floats so this setup works great for it. Check out my vids on youtube to see it fly. my name on Youtube is
gagallagher04401.
Thank you for making this list, I have a few questions sir. I'm new to all this and just want to make sure I get it right.
The 450 sport you have listed, is this the one? www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the-1526/Power-Up-450-Sport/Detail
For the 32A Power Up ESC I wasn't able to locate on their "Power Up" site a 32A ESC. I did find this one: www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the-2137/HURC--30-Amp/Detail Would that work out?
"Supercub motor mount they sell" is "they" referring to Power up? Or is it referring to something like this? www.customrcparts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2_3_27&products_id=17
Thanks again!
