Hello all, I guess I was posting in the wrong place so here are my updates. I decided to scrape the old Tamiya connectors and replace them with XT60s. I also found a 7.4v 1000mah lipo battery that fits almost perfectly. I bench tested the new setup and after 19+ minutes at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle I decided to call it a night. The battery was warm the motor was very warm and the connector was cool to the touch. I was amazed at the run time.
The new Lipo weights 64 grams however the old NiMh weighed 120 grams. So now my CG is messed up. I'm looking for weight. I was thinking fishing split shot?? Any ideas? BTW I still haven't figured out how to get the propeller of and haven't called Tower Hobbies yet.
I'm also turning this into a full project thinking about metal pushrods. It's fun I like it.
