![]() What power set up have you used?
Is this the beginning of a slippery slope do you think....? Will you be ripping your OS15 out of your Mini Super & replacing it with an outrunner??? ![]() |

1374 forum posts | Cheers Steve Best I can tell you is it has 100w. outrunner and the gubbins that goes with it,it pulls 89w with 8 x 4 prop. had to buy the motor at LMS £12 and the rest of the gear came from a friend of mine No chance of of the 15 coming out of the Super , I doubt if I'll ever go fully electric,too set in the old ways.
