Peter Clinch Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 HI I am converting my WOT4 balsa to electric motor. I can't seem to find a supplier of Towerpro 3520-7 Motors in this country. Could anyone steer me in the right direction or suggest a suitable alternative. Also assistance with design of motor mount would be appreciated.

pete taylor Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi Pete I've done this conversion and can thoroughly recommend this motor with 4 cell packs of around 4000-4500 mAh and a 13-14 x 6 prop. This gives around 900 Watts which is more than enough power for a full sized Wot 4, with most flying being done on around half throttle and plenty of duration. I opened up the bottom of the cowling on mine and cut two crescent moon openings in the front of the cowl cheeks, made a decent sized opening in the firewall to allow cooling air inside then exit via another hole aft of the undercarriage mounting. Good luck! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
