Just thought I'd post a link to some .40 size electric conversions I've done recently. One of them was done on the cheap. If you are interested in electric, I've got a few things over on the MCRCC site (Gulfport, MS flying club) that might be of interest.

Motor and esc for less that $100!!!! Let us know how it works.........

The Somethin' Extra is working pretty good. I added 8 cells of the a123 (m1) Dewalt battery pack batteries.

So for
$80 for 1 dewalt 36 volt battery pack
$27 for ESC
$41 for motor

I've got a complete flying .40 size power system that does pretty good, and can be charged in about 20 minutes with the right charger (Xtrema)
