RE: 1/4 Scale Balsa USA J-3 Cub
I saw a monster power 160 fly a hangar nine 1/4 182 on 8 cells. It was scale. The 182 had been crashed are repaired a couple times and was a heavy pig and the guy that did it put lead in the nose in lieu of putting the batteries farther forward. 6 cells would be pretty anemic. I don't think you could get enough amps out of the packs to make good power. I would pick up a 3rd pack and try for 9cells on the monster power motor if your on the cheap. I have seen several 110 rascals on hacker a50 and I have an a60 on 12s- That is a monster.. If you get the batteries forward, keep it light I think it would be ok with the monster power 160. I am putting one on a morrisey bravo that was built really light and it will be fine. you can get them from hobby partz for under 50bucks...I have seen several run and they seem ok- ok enough that i have two of them on the bench..
