hmm, acctualyl i was referring to brushed motors not brushless, is there any conversion charts for those

RE: glow engine-electric motor equivalents
 

Hobby Lobby gives some pretty decent conversions. I have several AXI 2826/12 running on 3SLiPo that have replace .40 engines with good results.

Yes, they give quite a bit of information on brushed motors as well.
