Default RE: Kaos E-Konversion

David is right that the Vagabond used an X-mount and my setup does not. However, I figured I probably would get a sleeker look by front mounting when the nose ring/mount is fully faired in and cowled (yet to be done). I also needed some space in the nose bay for the Ice ESC with heat sink and my setup left the bay nicely un-cluttered. Let's see if it holds up without falling apart...

I wanted the low Kv so that I could use a high voltage/low current setup. Basically I had no idea how effective the cooling would be. Right now the battery is running ~ 10C and the ESC is at 60% even at WOT which means I should be pretty safe with minimal airflow. Of course, that's useless if the bird does not fly!
