Equiv Lecy Motor/ESC to Nitro Chart?

[Timmahh]

any one make up a conversion chart that shows what electric motor/esc and battery sizes are needed to do a nitro to leccy conversion?


for isntance, if your plane recommends a .10 or a .60 motor, then this is the size Motor you need to create similar power, this ESC is needed to supply proper power to the motor and this size battery setup to supply the needed juice to convert with?

i have 2 nitro planes im thinking about making electric.

one is an old SIG Quick build P51D, and the other is a Will Hobby 120 P47D. though i ve been wondering if the P47D would do better on a Zen G20?


any help would be greatly appreciated.

Haven't actually seen a chart that is much use...however, if you check out the Eflite series of motors, they are sized as the fuel motor equivalents...a power 10 is equiv to a .10 glo...power 60 to a .60 glo ...they also have suggested battery amd speed controls for them...Horizon hobby would be a decent place to look for them....just bear in mind that the electric "equivalent" motor will usually have much more power than the glo motor it is replacing. For your first "conversion" I could think of worse motors and speed controls to go with...I have never had issue with their quality, or warranty coverage...if they suggest it....it works. Good luck with it.
