I have the nickel, chrome or whatever plating coming off my OS .32's sleeve. Instead of spending $50 or so on a new piston and sleeve I want to just go ahead and convert it to electric.
In the process I might just bump up to have the same power as I would if it were .50 powered.
What am I going to need and how much?
Batteries (what size though. I have seen usuals of 6s or so)
Motor
ESC
.50 Conversion (if that's what I choose to do)
Thanks for the help

I do not think there is a kit for a 30 sized you would have to fab up the pieces yourself.

HHmmmm. What do you mean a kit. As far as something like a combo that would have the batteries, ESC and motor?
I didn't think there would be. I'm just talking about if I bought everything separate, like you're talking about? I THINK that's what you're talking about.
Pardon my ignorance :)

8s 3300mah or 10s 3700mah Lipo..... I will be using a 10s 5000mah in mine because I like duration more than performance. Stay away from 6s packs on this heli as your flight times will suck and you won't have good power.

That setup right there will make you have to clean out your panties after you see rip through the air with way more power than a .50
That's enough to get you started. I'm sure there are some other smaller pieces I'm forgetting about. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
