Hey..
I'd like to convert my CMPro F6F Hellcat 120 70" to electric..
I had a YS.91 in it, but want to go Electric!!
Any ideas on a good motor, ESC and LiPo combo?
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Mr D ... try the following as a baseline guide:

Motor - anything like a China made 6360 or 6350 210 KV motor, do not exceep 230 KV for that size, 250KV is for 8S, for branded you can check out AXI, Hacker etc
ESC - 90A HV (does not power your RX and servos, you need a batt for that, can use like what you do for GP)
Batt - 10S 5,000 (go 10 because you get more plane choice than 8 and you will want the weight too)
Prop - 18x10 for starters, will give it a more scale appearance too. For EP we go with a bigger prop as the motor has torque and we turn it at a lower RPM, around 6.5K-7K

Happy converting!

I had the same plane setup for electric about three years ago and used:

motor: Elfite Power 110
ESC: Caslte 85 HV
Batteries: either 2 x 4S or 4S + 5S in series

The Zippy packs are great. I would get a 4S and 5S 5000 or 5800 mah pack so you get the most power you can with that motor.

I have this same setup on two of my planes. My H9 Taylorcraft will hover on this setup.

You will have to cut a hole throgh the fire wall to slide the battery packs as far foward as possible or add wight to the nose.

Thanks for the info!
I'm going with the following setup:
Eflite Power 110 motor
Castle 85HV
2 5c Thunder power 5000 mAH in series.
Thinking of a 18X8 APC.
According to the motor calc: http://www.brantuas.com/ezcalc/dma1.asp
That'll give me 81 motor amps, 2315 Watts, at 8521 RPM, runtime of 7.2 minutes.

A 17X8 gives me 70 motor amps, 2066 Watts, 8853 RPM, runtime of 8.3 minutes

Am I pushing it?

Thanks for the advice!

Dave ... There is no such thins as too much power. Hehehe ...
