Default RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars


ORIGINAL: shschon

Now there is Brushless version and good looking factory paint version. You do have to pay more than $95 but you get what you pay for:

Wow, that's quite a price increase. The original is a better deal, except for how much work it is to remove the old motors. I would have preferred to have them sell the original without the motors installed. I added less than $100 to the $95 version to get it flying well.

I would also question the performance on a 15C 1800mah 11.1v battery. That's about 270 watts maximum which works, but is at the limit of what this battery can handle. I have been flying mine on 2000mah 25C. Maybe their choice of motor is more efficient with the lower current battery.
