RE: where to find poly tape

RE: XE2 Motor Selection

No way... they're dinosaurs at this point. They're heavy... and don't put out that much more power especially compared to a brushless.

RE: Zagi question

Van, where are you getting lipo's for the same price as 1800nimh? One thing you have to be concerned about... and obviously it's not as critical for the stock 400 motor... is the amperage. You...

RE: Foamie Brushless-NiMh Recommendation?

For the money the Himax 2015 w/ 8 cell 2/3A (kans are great). You'd want to go to really high gearbox 6:1 and swing a big prop.

RE: Unicorn Wings 48" Brushless Photodocumentary

By bays do you mean for the battery? or that AND the servo's? Servo's shouldn't move a bit. If so, shim them with some scrap foam and i personally use silcone sealant. For the batteries... no...
