Title: Upgrades for SKY SURFER Post by: RcBharat on December 05, 2012, 10:20:39 AM Hello Everyone
Yesterday we were testing different motor upgrades for SKY SURFER (Both the versions) and found out a very good upgrade. Motor: A2212-2200KV Motor http://www.rcbharat.com/brushless-motors/182-mystery-a2212-6-2200kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html With prop: 6x3 http://www.rcbharat.com/electric-propellers/159-direct-drive-prop-6x3.html And 30Amp ESC http://www.rcbharat.com/escubecvr/54-mystery-cloud-30a-brushless-esc.html LIPO 2200mah http://www.rcbharat.com/batteries/163-zop-power-2200mah-lipo.html. Test Results: 1. The climb rate increased drastically!! 2. A great amount of increase in speeds! 3. Almost got 45+min of flight time with 2200mah lipo Will shortly post the pictures on how to do the motor upgrade Thanks Title: Re: Upgrades for SKY SURFER Post by: Adiboy on December 05, 2012, 11:03:40 AM 45+ min is a superb flight time...!!! {:)} {:)} Is the motor upgrade that you suggested similar to Turnigy D2826/6 2200kv...?

Title: Re: Upgrades for SKY SURFER Post by: RcBharat on December 05, 2012, 11:14:27 AM Ya the flight time was superb.
The motor which we used is different from the one you mentioned. The motor used by us was manufactured as an upgrade for SKY SURFER. The size and the mounting holes match. And the one you mentioned seems to be too over powered for the plane. Title: Re: Upgrades for SKY SURFER Post by: Adiboy on December 05, 2012, 11:20:31 AM Ok.. Thanks for the insight...!! :salute:

Title: Re: Upgrades for SKY SURFER Post by: RcBharat on December 09, 2012, 09:48:21 AM Almost 175-200Watts with this setup
The motor can produce a max wattage of 240Watts Title: Re: Upgrades for SKY SURFER Post by: avesh on December 09, 2012, 10:08:01 AM so if i dont want the stock motor,esc along with the arf kit , would you be launching an updated version tooo...
