RE: electric bot.
My Paragon is about the same size and weight as a BOT. I used an E-Flite Power-25 outrunner with a Phoenix -45 ESC and a 10 X 7 folding prop. I get several climb outs on a single charge with a Lipo battery.
A BOT and a Paragon are a lot alike in flying characteristics in that they're both floaters and will only benefit from the weight of the electric power system.
