My Posts This: Topic Forum | Cost of it allI just purchased all the bits for the conversion, about $650 total for all; power 60 motor, castle phoenix 60 speed controller, BEC, 2 pc's evopower extreme 3850 4s 25 C lipos, 2 pinions, wire, switches and some misc bits. Now all I have to do is come up with a motor mount, wish I could've bought one of those too!! When I get around to tearing it all apart and making up a mount I may make a few and a print as most likely it will fit to convert shuttles too which I have a couple of and wouold probably interest many. Sounds like some one could turn a buck making these things, too bad I don't have access to a CNC at work or we'd be missing a bit of aluminum!!!! Takes to long to make by hand on a mill to be profitable to make a buck on let alone one's time. I Can't wait to see and hear it whirl, I'm impressed with just the power system on the bench!! I can see first test hover in my living room, can't wait to see the wifes face for that one!! There goes the curtains!!  |
I used the same motor as the other ones on this site, had some head setup problems but worked them out it's still winter here in Canada but had it hovering 5 feet in the garage hovers like a dream
the pinion was easy to find but the motor mount was made by a good friend
