Maybe not, but I know it will support the BSD motor.
Here is the one I used on both my Citabria and Cessna.

I upgraded my batteries to the Hobbycity 138mah ones. So that is taken care of.
Is there a noticeable amount of difference in the upgraded motor and prop?

RE: I NEED MORE POWER!
Could you link me to everything I will need? Also would this be able to fit on the ember and how long of runtimes would I get on a 138mah battery? I am getting around 20-25 min of flight time right now.

Here is the prop.

Ask Bob at BSD about the prop saver. I think the motor/gearbox comes with it.
Sorry, but not sure about the flight times. I never worried about it, as long as I had enough fun before the battery ran dead. If you have more than one battery, don't worry about it.

The prop saver helps save the prop from breaking in the event of a crash. It screws onto the shaft.
As you can see in the picture, the prop is held on with a rubber band.

Nick, do you know if the kyosho brick will support the SU-26 motor?
Tyler a battery upgrade wouldn't hurt either.

If its got the same FETs as the PZ bricks, it should be OK (but dont hold me accountable if I'm wrong
