Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: asinghatiya on December 14, 2010, 04:27:24 PM Hi friends, any may please suggest me that what is the power ststem requirment for converting a ready 40 into electric.
I am using OS MAX .46 AX. My problem is that I have no intention to struggle with an engine but a deep desire to fly. This is superb engine but I am not able to justify its presence on my ready 40. http://cgi.ebay.in/RCFORALL-BRUSHLESS-OUTRUNNER-MOTOR-A-2820-6-/110619711071?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item19c172d65f this motor is said to be subsitute of a OS 46 engine. wot should be the ESC, battery & propellar requirement for this? Please advice me and I will sell my almost new (2-3 flight old) OS MAX. thanks Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: mpsaju on December 14, 2010, 05:13:50 PM You will need a 60 amp ESC. You may have to get an external BEC for supplying power to the radio receiver and servos. This is also available with RCFORALLIN.

Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: SunLikeStar on December 14, 2010, 06:24:53 PM The AerodriveXp motors are good. I just got one from VKSingh (TGY AerodriveXp SK Series 35-30 1100Kv). Tested it with a 10x6 glow prop and the thrust was just awesome, way more than my OS .25 la.
Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: rcforall on December 15, 2010, 07:56:26 AM Hi , I have TT Cessna Cardinal 177 60 size converted to electric . I think the best option for a ready electric would be the 2826( 3548 ) /6 motor 790 KV with 14.8 V input ( 4 S ) 3000 mah + with 25 c discharge minimum running a 11 x 7 apce prop . I always prefer using 2 x 2 S in series rather than a 4 S as any damage to 1 battery can be replaced. Send me a mail I can check stock and let you know. sai Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: asinghatiya on December 15, 2010, 09:11:34 AM Thank you so much mr Sai, can you please PM me the total costing for motor, ESC, battery and anything else required to make it a workable preposition.
Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: vinay on December 15, 2010, 11:37:38 AM hi i have converted my 46 size plane to electric. my setup includes:- Thats a killer setup. But dont u think its a little heavy for the model? Consider that I dont have experience in planes what so ever. Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: CrazyPilot on December 15, 2010, 06:40:14 PM this setup can be used on 46 to 60 size models and all types of planes, beginner intermediate or advanced. so its a one time investment. All u need to change is batteries for diff. power output. Its cleaner, quieter & better than glow. I dont buy single use things. this setup will last long.
PS- Sorry dint read the Ready 40 in first post. For ready 40 use 4S lipo not more than 450 gms. Thx Title: converting ready 40 to electric Post by: vishalrao on April 22, 2012, 06:06:39 PM hi i have converted my 46 size plane to electric. my setup includes.... it goes like a rocket. very nice. Can you please post some pics of your model? Basically I'm interested in the mounting of motor. Do you have to use a long mount, so the motor can come forward to balance the CG?
