1400 mm P40 Warhawk or the 1700 mm P51

Yepper on the 6S 4500 40C right out of the A-10.

No, I was running the stock system. It's pretty darned good in my opinion. I also run the same motor in my FMS P-51B, my Freewing P-51D and my Flightline Bearcat.
It's great motor. I use Mantis 85A ESC's as well. They're good but the leads are way too short, you have to order extensions if you want to use these.

I'm picking up a couple of 4500's too. They'll work in the Avanti and the Pitts as well as the Spitfire when it comes and when I do the motor mod in the P-40. Also picking up a couple of 4s 4000's aw well to make up for the ones I broke at Nefi. I prefer the 4000's for the Bearcat and the P-40.

So many things to buy!!

Just sent the order in for the P40. Now I have to wait for weather to break. Maybe March or April. Uggghhhh

Might get lucky and have a day some time sooner. Let's hope

Hey P40 dudes. I have an extra motor and esc from 1500p47. Ask Charlie why lol. Pm me if interested.

Nothing left but the canopy at this point.

[Grossman56]

I remember that, it came through unscathed if I recall. Must be things like L/G or gear doors. Servos for sure. Spare parts guess. Going to get another one?

I would like another but something always gets in the way. I scabbed out all the other salvageable parts awhile back.

If George had been there he would have said, "I can fix that". LOL

Yep...I've fixed a lot worse than that :)

Like my J-10....

Since the P40 comes stock with a 4s power system, can I use my Admiral 4000 6s batteries in this plane? It appears that the ESC in the P40 is the same as what the P47 (Warbird Charlie) uses for its 6s power system. I have an adapter to convert from EC5 to EC3. Whaddaya think?

[fhhuber]

Assuming the motor is rated for 6S.
Do some wattmeter tests at least.

You'll be increasing power demand a TON. You might need to change props to keep it inside current the limits of the ESC and motor.

[Grossman56]

I think the motor for the P-47 is around $50. Worth the investment, considering that the airplane replacement is somewhat more!
Ripping props and hubs in mid flight is not nice.

OK, got it guys. Thanks!

Ordinarily, you can't just up the battery cell count. There's a big difference between the 4s motor and 6s motor from the P-47. It's not just the ESC. It's how the motor is built to handle the extra voltage. If you just throw in a 6s battery, you might get away with it for one or two flights or it might not last the first 30 seconds before you see a puff of smoke and have to dead stick it in for a landing.
If you understand superchargers and turbochargers on cars, you can't just increase the boost dramatically and not change anything in the motor and expect it to survive.
