.40-.46 size electric replacement
I'm wanting to go electric and already have 3 planes in the .32-.46 size range(and only 1 glow motor anyways) and would like to find a good outrunner brushless setup and a good AC (or AC/DC) charger+balancer I'm thinking I can get all this without batteries for somewhere in the $300 range (I'll probably spend another $100-150 on 3s LiPo's) but of course cheaper would be better. I would prefer something with more torque than rpm/v as I want to start some non-foamie biplane 3d flying (got a 3d electric but it's all styrofoam 20 oz deal)
also is there any kind of quick changeout mounting plate+ESC holder/heatsink system I could quickly (couple of minutes) change out the motor and speed control and just move everything to another plane.
I want to get away from glow because the stuff just about makes me ill and I hate the gunk film forming on everything

First of all: for this size planes it is not a good idea to buy 3S batteries. 4S or 5S is what you need!
Motors from 800 Watt and upwards.

RE: .40-.46 size electric replacement
could I use multiple packs with a EXC that supports 2 batteries or does that just increase the capacity you can use and nt the voltage total that can be utilized?

Take two 2s 3000mAh packs: 7.4v nominal
Result if Series connected: 4s (14.8v), 3000mAh - if they are 10C packs - 30A max current draw
Result if Parallel connected: 2s (7.2v), 6000mAh - if they are 10C packs - 60A max current draw
