gws edp-50xc Direct drive

[cyanide1973]

I am trying to go direct drive with my blade cp pro the GWS motor fits fine but the props that came with the motor the pitch is backwards.
I've seen pic of other Blades with this mod and there using the same props with the same pitch as the ones i have. any idea what might be diffrent i can wire the motor backwards but then they will be going the wrong way and will over work the motor.

put the motor on the opposite side of the boom and make it into a tractor setup instead of like the stock pusher setup.

My friend kept his on the right side and simply reversed the motor so it spins clockwise and it flies great. I thought it was the "wrong way" too but it doesn't really matter with these small heli's.

Or you could do as Carlo said....on the other side.

I'll try both see which one works better.

Thanks for the help.

It depends on your prop, you can't use a tractor prop as a pusher and vice versa, it works, but not efficiently and will blow out on you. Also if its a push on prop then you want to be sure its a pusher prop so that it stays on the motor shaft, a tractor prop will pull itself off the shaft.
