hi i have been flying my lmh with a .15 pullstart engine and now im deciding to go electric. i hate getting the equipment outside when i want to fly and the gas spill all over the place! how much would be cost to fullly convert it to electric? chrager, battery etc. can someone give me a list and price? im new to this electric thing, if it will cost too much im gona sale it and get a micro.

The heli is actually the cheap (LMH glow used go from $50 on up) part if you build from scratch.

You need a good gyro (assuming you are using the LMH one): $80 street for GY201.
Brushless sp400 - 480 motor: $85-$125
Brusless controller (35amp min, 45 amp prefered): $85-$100
Charger: $95
Battery: $40+ ($60+ lipo)

Or you could sell you LMH setup and start from scratch with a good micro combo setup. You should be fine if you have stick-time on the LMH.

Pullin'

that is alot of $ i guess im gona sale it and get a micro.

what would you guys do ? keep it go e or buy micro

brushed setup will be lot cheaper. atomic force motor for 20 bucks and 45 bucks for esc. if you need charger and battery, that will be 50 for non lipo charger and 40 per pack. you probably already have gyro and others. One less servo though.

I wouldnt sell it and get a micro. they are harder to fly. you could probably do an electric conversion for around 200.00 bucks if you stay with a brushed outfit (Motor/ESC).

so this is what i need right? i just look up helli hobby they are out of the 120 crutch can i use the 117 cructh?

-atomic force motor
-ESC (which one? im on a budget)
-Battery (whats the lowes price?)
-Charger (I have my old r/c car charger can I use that?)
-crutch 117 or 120?
-gyro which i already have heli-max gyro

so far i think it be around, $200 damn thats still alot ill probably make some money back selling my old .15 conversion and all my gas equipment.

should i get the RTF LMH Corona Model 120 Complete Package from helihobby? $435 is it worth buying it ? or convert my old 110 to e.

If you like the way the LMH flys you will not be happy with a Micro.

Buy right, buy Once

If you just want to do it cheap, it will cost you more (dozens of threads on that)

AF motor is OK, but you will be happier with BL for sure.
Depends on the motor. If you go BL about $80, for the AF about $50 (and no you can't use a car ESC)
What charger do you have?
120 is the better.
The heli max will work, but a HH like the futaba 240 is much better.

Do a search on corona setups, you will learn much.

Look at this thread

Just did mine for less than 20 bucks.
I had the batteries for my zagi, and got some donations of motor and crutch and esc so I guess I lucked out. it is easy to do, I'm sure someone out here has a used 120 crutch you can have
