Typical 700N conversions use the nitro frames and replace the nitro
motor with an electric motor mount. Problem is these conversions place
the motor down into the frames leaving little room for batteries. This
method forces you to cut the canopy and place the batteries outside the
frames. No protection for the batteries and it looks like a nitro that
has been forced into an electric.
Our conversion kit features:
- The motor is flipped to the top and clears the way for batteries below
- Does away with the molded plastic front assembly which in the nitro
version houses the throttle servo and tail rotor servo. Obviously a
throttle servo is not required and the tail servo can be mounted to the
boom. Removing this plastic assembly reduces a considerable amount of
weight
- Includes an aluminum motor mount that slides in slots in the frame
for very easy gear mesh adjustment. The slots are long enough for a
variety of gear ratio combinations
- Battery plate has slots milled for velcro straps
- .75" reduction in height from the stock nitro version
- Our frames have mounting points designed in for our front camera
mount. Go from an underslung VR360 mount to a 2XPT front mount in about
5 minutes time.
(2XPT front mount for this kit coming August 2009)
All in all this solution makes a Trex 700 Nitro look and perform like
it was designed as an electric from the ground up rather than an
afterthought.
The photos below do not show some other included parts such as aluminum spacers and other hardware. Only the G10 parts are shown but rest assured you will get a complete kit.
