So what kind of ESC should I get? I guess I dont understand how to convert milliamps or current to amps for selection of the proper speed controller. Do I get a 20A, 30A, etc?
Also, why do I need to upgrade to a brushless motor when converting this to lipo? Is it because the brushed motor will burn out? I am okay with that, this is an old trainer plane that was given to me that I thought I'd use to teach my Boy Scout troop how to fly on :) WHEN we wreck it, or burn it up, we can then build it back up right :) Thanks for the input!!!
You need to convert to a brushless motor because most of the speed controls have 3 wires and are ment to run with brushless motors. It's hard to find a speed control that is for brushed motors and is compatable with lipos. As for what kind of speed control to get you need to first find a motor that is good for your plane. Most people go for an outrunner brushless motor. Depending on what the weight and size of your plane is would be the type of motor to run. On the left side of this web site there is a tab labled electric motors from there you want to click on the outrunners by size. From the type of nimh battery the stock setup had I would think you would want some thing in the park flyer type of motors. I realy can't say with out knowing the spec's of the plane. Once you find a motor you like click on it and you will see the motor specs. In the motor specs you will see max current and some times they will recomend a speed control. It is a good rule of thumb to get a speed control that is over the max current by about 10-15amps.(example: Max current:25amps,you want a 35-40amp speed control.) As for the lipo you can get one with a C rating of 20-35c and know you will have plenty of power. The mah of the lipo is like the size of the gas tank the more mah the longer the flight. If you get the right setup the lipo on this thread should work fine with your setup.
I was just looking through the HK speed controls and found a brushed one that works with lipos. I should of known HK has every thing :) The one I saw was a turnigy 30a brushed esc and yes it was in stock. You could run that esc with the lipo above with your stock setup. Good luck with your trainer.
Most older planes that used Ni-mh have a speed control that is not supposed to work with lipo. Lipo batteries are not supposed to go under 3.0v per cell with out doing damage to them. Newer speed controls have a cutoff voltage of 3.0v per cell to keep from damaging the lipo. You can theoretically use a lipo on that speed control but you would have to make sure that you don't run the lipo to low. That is hard to tell because a lipo will feel like it has plenty of power and then die very quickly. By that time it is to late and damage will have been done to the battery. Also 30c might be to much for your speed control. You could very well fry your speed control with that much power. To do it right you would need to pick up a speed control, brushless motor, and lipo. If you want to risk it pick up some thing in the 1000mah 15-20c range and keep an eye on your voltage. FYI you also need a lipo charger if you don't already have one.
yes this sold work fine. if the older regulator is ni-mh compatible and not LiPo you shod by a new regulator, but you don't have to. (I personally did not) :)
hope this helps *)
more c high is better 1000mah 20 c = 20 amps 1000mah 40 c = 40 amps 5000mah 40c = 200 amps the life of lipos pack is better with more c I hope you understand y am french and not good in english
Maybe when you guys posted your questions the picture was of a JST connector. As I write this the picture shows one O' them there newfangled XT60 connectors that may end up replacing Deans connectors. Look on the new items page and check em out. Rather than being a cheap lowly JST the connector on this battery is supposedly BETTER than a Deans.
turnigy in spain is the most known brand of batteries becouse of the well done work in the factory.The batteries are the most powerfull and balanced .thanks to turnigy and hobbyking to be possible. Im a spanish 1:8 tt e driver and I was 3 in the spanish national championship with turnigy.

This battery has the biggest bang for your buck! My friend ordered 2 for himself and 2 for me & they can really handle big amount of current on my 30A consumption brushless motor. Can't hesitate buying this battery pack.
This battery has the biggest bang for your buck! They perform as well as any other on the market or better in my opinion and are great value for money.

recently bought a few of these. turnigy is the best option for lipos. just as good as the high dollar batts that break the bank. i'd take 5 of these over one of the competition ALL DAY. i am buying more of them right now in fact! also going to order some 5000mah batts for my wife's short course truck. i have talked to a number of rc guys who use these, they have never had a problem with them. i have no quams about buying these batteries!
