Status: offline 		I am building a model from scratch. It calls for a geared 05. Since I don't have a brushless motor. What brushed motor could I use in place of this one. Thanks

Status: offline 		Hey Thanks! I'm new to electrics and am trying very hard not to creep back to glow. I scratch built one plane which weights 30 oz. 44" span and was trying to use 400 geared 2.33-1 just doesn't seem to have enough umph. I have a speed 600 I'm going to try on 9 -1300 cells that should do it. I also working on a 3D 42" which is the one that called for the Astro 05. Lot of money.

Status: offline 		30oz is way over the limit for a Speed 400, even geared. You want to keep the weight under 24oz, and that's only on a floaty airplane with lots of wing area. On anything you expect performance out of, 16-20oz is more like it...
