Finished the big mod and is a little too much I think for my 75 but will be great in the 210. Gonna build a 900 with the small shroud and prop.

Steve came to see the awesome power and went home with some parts and ideas --- gonna try a 1200 mod

 

[mummra]

this is a very cool mod. i know a guy that just did this to a couple of 1200 mj and he swears by them.

Starting on the 900 today - same housing ect as the 1200 - must just have different windings

I made the 1200 mod. it is pretty simple once you make the 1st one. mine however has i believe an undersized prop. I did see online a place called hobby town the dumas 3004 plastic prop for $1.15. I will probably order a bunch of them to make up for shipping cost.
