RE: Brushless or Lipo - one or the other
Mrstingray,
I just ordered a mega 16-15-4 + 35amp ESC + prop adapter from dynamo electric.com. Shipping is FREE!! I would think you would want a 16-15-6 + 25amp ESC. They’re $145.00 to your door. BUT, I’m no expert on war birds. I have a space scooter (about the same size as GWS war birds) with that same set up and with an 8 X 6E APC prop and a 3s LiPo, it goes straight up and flies with outstanding authority! Good luck.
