[lightfighter363]

I have a trex 500 pro that want to convert it to Tow defender from rcaerodyne fuselage. I have a align four blade head that wanted to use. How much motor kv and teeth pinion is recommended? Idea please. Or maybe 5 blade head if i can find one

I moved your thread here as it is more likely to get seen in this part of the forum that is dedicated to power systems for our helicopters. There should be some answers in here for similar questions posed. Good luck with the build.

I also have the 500 pro 5 blade. I'm running a 4015-1070 logo480 motor main gear is 162 and 11t pinion gov at 1520 I believe. You will need to move the tail servo to the boom or it will rub the fuse. I initially modded the frame to move the servo higher but still rubbed ever so slightly.

What is you main gear teeth / I assume 6s ? What is your target headspeed ?
