Default 1/2A - speed 400 Shrike kit. Recommended electric set-up. Help please.

I just purchased 2 1/2A-speed 400 shrike kits still sealed in box. I am not interested in equipping them with a glow engine at all. I need help with motor and prop set-up as they recommend a speed 400 install. I have read that the speed 400 and ni-cad battery setup is not only heavy but outdated.

My wish is to have these shrikes scream with lets say a 2200mah 3s lipo/ motor combo.

Since i have never built and electric aircraft for speed i think i need some input on what to look for. I have built several for sport flying and 3-D.


Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance.
