Default U-Can-Do 60 electric conversion

Hey all,

I would love some suggestions on the path to take to convert my u-can-do 60 to electric. What motor and battery pack suggestions are the main things I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks.

Look at a 6S set up, 25C 6S 3,700 mAh packs. As for motors just look for something in the 1,000W-1,200W range. The likes of an AXI 4130/16 etc, you got Hyperion, DualSky, Hacker and some tuff from HobbyCity too such as the Turnigy motors, not as powerful but its El Cheapo Street. You want to turn a 16x10 or 17x10 prop at about 6,500 RPM if you can for loadsa fun.

OK, if you want to do both well ... then I recommend Neu 1512/1.5Y/6.7:1/F, TP 8S 1P 3850 Extreme V2 lipos, 18x8 APC-E prop. Expect about 8.5 lbs AUW.
