Anyone have any ideas on fitting an outrunner brushless motor on a Great Planes Slinger. I need to upgrade and would love to put an outrunner on my Slinger. Maybe mount it on the end of a wooden dowel the same size as the old 400 brushed and use zip tie to tie it down. What do you think guys?

My first attempt at hotrodding with an Align 3550kv can caught the battery on fire. Wrong ESC timing. It crashed busted the top cover so I modified it for sloping. Got bored with that so I devised a simple motor mount out of a piece of aluminum angle and mounted a Turnigy 2836 outrunner 2350kv. With a 5X5 prop it pulls about 275 watts 3s lipo. It also has 2 carbon spars and 3/4 oz glass job. I'll take a couple pictures later.

Without going with ridiculous power a Grayson 2212/6 v2 with a 5x5 or 6x5 EMP prop on 3s would get you a LOT more than a can 400.

For lighter weight, but still much the same power: http://www.graysonhobby.com/catalog/...jet-p-765.html
