Hawk sky upgrade help
Hi, I purchased the exceed RC upgrade motor, this onehttp://www.nitroplanes.com/al4003brmo.html, and I can't figure out how to install it. The part that needs to be bolted and where the prop gets fastened down face toward the plastic motor mountwhich obviously doesn't work. Help!
Also, the stock ESC in my Skyhawk says 18A I thought it was a 20A. The upgrade motor has a 23A bust won't this blow the stock ESC?
Thanks for the help!

Thats a helicopter motor. You can get a prop adaptor, but I know you may only get 2 of the 4 mounting screws on the wire side of the motor to mount.
You will need a much smaller pitch prop like a 4.5x4.5 prop for that motor on 3S.

Thank you, I see now. Well, where would I get a smaller prop? I didn't think it would be a problem since they said it was an upgrade motor and didn't mention anything about a smaller prop.
