Ultymate, so the main problem would be adaption of the crank shaft, can this be done with some time spare or do you reccomend not attempting it at all.  Thanks.

Thanks much appreciated. 

Could someone explain to me what dead stick means. Thanks.

Hi all, im looking for some advice for moving IC engines from RC cars to RC planes. I dont know if this can be done or if it should be, but it seems a shame for the engines to be sitting idle in cars I no longer use. I spoke to someone and they said that it depends if you can get your down and side thurst right and that you probably have to change your cylinder head. Do the engines vary that much?, I have a irvine 20 engine that starts with a spinner/pully system, would this not have the same characteristics as an aero engine.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated and if it shouldent be done please tell me and the reasons why. Thanks all.

Sorry Timbo but how would I discharge a battery?, do you have to have dischargeing equipment, I have a pro-peak varipulse 2500vp charger will this help?. Would dischargeing then charging the battery give more power to a brushed motor  as I was advised to do this by someone because I can not get my plane off the ground with the current set up. This reason has forced my hand to invest in a brushless set up from brc hobbies. Will I have to balance/discharge li-po batteries or can I just charge them from the pack?. Once again thanks.

Oh sorry its a Nimh battery as well.

Well I bought a multiplex permabatt 7 cell AA 1400 and it advises that you discharge and recharge to get full potenetial out of the battery. But I have also noticed alot of other talk on forums about dischrgeing battery packs and then chargeing them, is this balancing?, any info would be greatly appreciated as I would like to get the best from my materials.  Thanks Timbo.

Hi all, can anyone give me some advice as how to discharge battery packs because I have no idea. Thanks all.
