Default Coversion Raptor30 to 50 Yes or No??

Hi all.

Have a Raptor 30 and love it.
Have a second one with no motor thinking of turning it in to a Raptor 50.
I hear both sides from awsome rocket ship, to way over powered and engine over heat problems due to small fan/shroud
So anyone out there care to share their thoughts.

Thx

I have only heard the positive stories. I have not heard anything else. I am also thinking about the upgrade. Will the little fan shroud that goes between the front frame and gear help with the heating problem???

I fly a bone stock rappy 30 with the 50 upgrade.

No problems with any overheating using stock fan and shroud with 30% CP.

Right now, it's without a doubt, my favorite!!

GV-1 works well with it too....

I went ahead and purchased a used Raptor and threw the TT36,canopy,and skids in the trash and now have this good looking Raptor 50.
