EGB 953 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi I would value some advice. while I wait for some decent weather to maiden my VMC cub, (https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/49070-vintage-model-company-cub-4-channel-trainer/page/2/#comments)), I got out my old eFlite Ascent 450 glider that met with the ground ten years ago after one of the prop blades snapped. The motor is duff and it seems is no longer manufactured. There is a similar engine but pretty expensive around £50 pounds. Any recommendation for an equivalent of the Eflite 450 890kv outrunner? I also note that the motors I see online all have the prop shaft sticking out the other end of the motor. How do I get one that Is positioned the correct way for a glider (motor insight the fuselage) or do I have to just hammer it through the motor till it sticks out the other side. Pics for reference and any advice gratefully received. I used to run it on 3s 1300 lipo which was plenty enough power for long flights and good climbs.

Steve 4-Max are great for motors but Robotbirds have a better range of spinners and folding props. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGB 953 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just to sing the praises of 4-Max. gave them a call, extremely helpful especially as I must have sounded clueless to the poor chap, all sorted and amazing speed, at my door the next afternoon. I would highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
