The one drawback to electrifying the DV besides cost is the gear length. Sure I can bend up some music wire to make longer gear, but you can only make wire so long before it begins to get too flexable. I believe it's doable, but it's right on the edge with gear long enough to clear a 16" prop.

Still, I've been looking hard at those big AXI motors you see in the Hobby Lobby ads here at RCU......along with the pricy Hacker and Actro altertnatives. Basically, Id want 2 packs of 8S4P lipos at $600 a pop. [X(] That battery price is all that's holding me back from going with electric power.
