My Posts This: Topic Forum | I have two 700E's. Right now I have Scorp 560's in both. One I have set for 2200 as of now and the other 2000. Both are 12S TP 45C & VX 5000. Both weigh in around 11-11.25 lbs. Both are FBL. The one set at 2200 HS is much faster than the other. I used to have the nitro set up with the 91HZ decked out(very good power for a nitro). It was FBL also. Because the electric is capable of much higher power output, it will sustain higher HS with more pitch without bogging. And higher head speed means faster forward flight. However, if you take a nitro and an electric and set them up a like i.e. 2000 HS, +-12 pitch same cyclic, in other words not too much for the N, so it won't bog, than they would be equal, if there weights were equal. If the E was FBL and the N was not, the E would have the advantage. But to recap, the E is capable of more power than the N. but set up equally, they would be comparable. | Quote |

According to horse power calculators, the Scorp 4035-560(a higher continuous wattage output motor than the 500 KV)is capable of approx 5.5-6.5 HP, whereas the 91HZ W/ pressurized fuel system, Viper head, SB-20, etc. pretty much all you can do to it, will put out approx. 3.5-4 HP. |
